Fundraising Project Plans
WHY BOTHER WITH A FUNDRAISING PROJECT PLAN?
Fundraising project plans present a clear picture of how you are going to do what needs to be done to make a fundraising activity or activities successful. It navigates round pitfalls, leads to effective use of resources, and feeds confidence knowing that what you want to achieve is realistic.
For non-profit organisations to be financially sustainable they should consider the diversity of their income streams to spread risk and exploit opportunities to raise funds. If you adopt a new fundraising initiative that will be implemented by someone not experienced in that particular discipline, our fundraising expert can produce a project plan to unlock income potential.
WHAT WE DO TO CREATE YOUR FUNDRAISING PROJECT PLAN
Learn about your organisation and understand your needs.
After establishing how the characteristics and strengths of your organisation and its stakeholders can be put to good use, a document providing a step by step plan to achieve your objectives is produced. It’s not just about the money; we can also help by incorporating measures to raise awareness of your organisation, promote your services, add value through integration with other fundraising techniques, attract corporate sponsorship, or by using it as a springboard to develop your volunteer base.
Agree what should be in your fundraising project plan.
Project plan content varies depending on the particular fundraising method, type of organisation and your objectives. We can help across a broad range of fundraising methods including setting up a network of volunteer fundraising committees, running a charity lottery, raising funds from schools or attracting legacy gifts.
All fundraising project plans are bespoke, but by way of illustration headings for a generic plan for a fundraising event could look something like this:

- Venue

- Prospects to be targeted
- Programme of activity
