Major Donor Fundraising Consultants – Unlock Transformational Philanthropy
At Abbey Solutions we help organisations unlock transformational giving by developing strategic major donor fundraising programmes and if required, implementation. Our senior consultants bring decades of combined expertise, designing and implementing high-impact fundraising strategies that engage Major Donors, and family offices.
We help charities and NGOs secure sustainable, mission-aligned funding that fuels long-term growth. We do not just design a strategy or provide a donor pipeline – we are ready to take the next step and reach out to philanthropists on your behalf.
Building High-Impact Relationships with Major Donors
Through partnerships with leading global financial institutions—including Julius Baer, one of the world’s foremost private banks—we advise philanthropists on strategic giving and connect them with causes aligned to their values and priorities. The insights we glean from this work sets us apart from other major donor consultancies and gives us the opportunity to put your organisation in front of donors in the shortest possible time.
Why Major Donor Fundraising Matters
Major donor fundraising is not just another revenue stream—it is a strategic partnership model that can transform your organisation’s income, reach and impact.
Beyond Financial Support
Philanthropists often bring networks, expertise, and strategic insights in addition to funding—creating powerful, long-term collaborations that elevate your mission.
Trust is the foundation to Success
High-value donors give to organisations they trust. From Board and CEO engagement to impact-driven storytelling, every touchpoint must demonstrate credibility, transparency, and alignment of values.
