Unlock Transformational Giving for Your Organisation
No matter the size of your organisation, our expert consultants at Abbey Solutions have the experience and skills to design and implement a major donor fundraising strategy that will significantly increase your charity’s support from affluent individuals.
Building Lasting Relationships with Major Donors
We focus on cultivating genuine relationships with High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) and Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI), ensuring your organisation is positioned to thrive. Our partnerships extend to renowned private banks, such as Julius Baer, a global leader with assets under management of CHF 429 billion (April 2023). Through our collaboration, we assist their clients with tailored philanthropy advice.
Why Major Donor Fundraising Works
Major donor fundraising is not just a source of income—it’s a transformative relationship-building process. By aligning your organisation’s vision with donors’ goals, you can unlock unparalleled support.
- Beyond Financial Support
Many philanthropists provide hands-on assistance, offering their businesses’ resources and expertise. This invaluable collaboration fosters lasting partnerships. - Trust is Key
Donors give to people they trust. From your CEO and Trustees to your organisational strategy, every element must inspire confidence. Transparency and authenticity are paramount.
What Donors Expect
- Meaningful Outcomes – Donors want to see realistic goals and measurable impact.
- Transparency – They expect to track their contributions and see clear evidence of success.
- Investment Mindset – For many, philanthropy is an investment, not a one-time donation.
- Risk Tolerance – Many donors are willing to take risks but hate surprises. Keeping them informed is crucial.
