My areas of expertise:

  • creating fundraising strategy
  • delivering major donor programmes
  • assessing feasibility and running capital campaigns
 

At the moment

I’m working on a number of fascinating projects. I’m working with UNICEF to create a global case for support – a guide for fundraisers in UNICEF’s 37 national committees around the world about what is important and distinctive about UNICEF and its work.

I am working with Cancer Research UK to transform the contribution that major donors make to their overall income. I’m also helping MIND develop a new fundraising strategy that will radically grow income to help people in mental distress and will help tackle the stigma that surrounds mental health issues.

Before =mc

My early career was in the commercial sector – in advertising and market research. I joined the voluntary sector more than 15 years ago to set up a corporate fundraising operation for British Heart Foundation. I then moved to NSPCC as Head of Major Donors – well before most charities moved into major donor fundraising. I was promoted to Joint Campaign Director for the NSPCC’s groundbreaking Full Stop Appeal and then to Deputy Director of Fundraising.

I became a consultant in 2002 after the birth of my first child. The key to successful strategies – for fundraising, for major donors or for capital campaigns – is adapting the theory to each organisation’s unique setting: and that’s the bit I enjoy most, turning the dry theory into something that is real, practical and most importantly, do-able.

Our work with =mc has really exceeded our expectations. They helped us to create a new groundbreaking strategy which achieved astonishing levels of alignment and engagement amongst a diverse international organisation.

We've used the =mc team to help frame and resolve several major strategic issues for us at the Red Cross and the wider networks we're involved in. With them you can be sure of a mixture of clear and critical thinking – plus that essential added extra value of creativity.

Mark Astarita, Director of Fundraising, British Red Cross


=mc has a wealth and breadth of knowledge, a terrific understanding and vast experience of the ethos and culture of the not-for-profit sector. This together with their 'anything is possible' approach made =mc an obvious choice for the RNLI to partner with, to develop and deliver in-house training for our staff.
