Fundraising Analysis
Is every fundraising dollar working?
A channel by channel model of what your fundraising truly costs and truly returns, including the staff time almost every organisation forgets to count. Then a portfolio decision on every channel: invest, maintain, fix, or keep it knowingly with the subsidy visible.
What you get
The whole cost, the whole return.
- Whole of cost economics for every channel: net return, cost to raise a dollar, retention, trend
- Lifetime value analysis so slow burn channels like bequests and regular giving are judged fairly
- A portfolio recommendation per channel, co-designed with your fundraising team, never imposed
- A compliance register covering state authorisations and code obligations per channel
- Benchmarks against sector practice bands, so gaps read as common patterns, not failures
How it works
Four weeks from data to decisions.
- Inputs: a finance extract and a short staff time survey. Your team's honesty does the rest.
- Delivery: findings arrive in gain language: what a redirected subsidy could fund, never 'your fundraising is losing money'
- Decisions: a portfolio call on every channel, made with your team, with the evidence on the table
It pays for itself the first time one subsidised channel is redirected.
Most organisations have at least one channel quietly costing more than it raises once staff time is counted.
