How is it that some charities outperform the rest by miles?

What does it take to achieve substantial growth in your own fundraising income? This has been studied scientifically with charities worldwide. And the code has been cracked: with the Great Fundraising method, it’s now possible to significantly grow fundraising results for your organisation too.

What is Great Fundraising?

Great Fundraising is a methodology that helps charities realise substantial growth in fundraising income. It originates from scientific" research by Professor Adrian Sargeant: “What makes fundraising truly great?”—an international study across 350+ charities, comparing average performers with organisations achieving exceptional growth.
The research was initiated by Revolutionise (formerly Alan Clayton & Associates), which developed the methodology to help charities move to the next level.

Join in on our CEO/Board Inspiration Breakfast (08:45 –10:00)

We start the day with an inspiring session for CEOs, directors and board members. Using international and Dutch examples, we show how the scientifically proven Great Fundraising method works in practice.

You’ll learn how Great Fundraising organisations ensure that Purpose, an internal Theory of Change, and an external New Ambition reinforce each other—and what leadership is needed to boost performance and unlock substantial fundraising growth.

From 10.30 AM onwards a masterclass for fundraising managers, fundraisers & communications colleagues (10:30–16:30) takes place. In this practical training, we guide your fundraisers through the steps they need to take to help their charity flourish into a Great Fundraising organisation. We work with concrete building blocks that create a strong foundation for growth, and creative concepts that underpin successful campaigns.

More information on the training for fundraisers.
