Consultancy Services
Ali specialises in setting up development operations from scratch, evaluating and auditing existing activity and working with organisations and their staff to make fundraising, engagement & membership programmes more strategic, sustainable and cost-effective.
She can provide ad hoc support and advice, manage specific projects, or provide senior part-time interim cover. Unlike many other consultants who just focus on major gift fundraising, Ali works more holistically across an entire range of activities - back office and front-facing - helping clients to become more joined-up and data-focussed. This approach enables organisations to: create more realistic targets, devise better performance-driven metrics and understand the impact of their activities for all elements of their development operation.

Project Work

She can also advise and help create a fundraising, engagement, stewardship and/or membership programme from scratch, or develop new activities, such as: carrying out an audit of a client’s data to better inform strategy and planning, or support more comprehensive impact reporting.

Interim cover
Whether it is maternity cover for a senior post, or offering interim support to bridge recruitment issues, Ali has a lot of experience of ‘helicoptering’ into a development or fundraising team and hitting the floor running to help out in a staffing crisis.
