"The team of Giving Architects became the Selwyn team, and it was like having a fundraising team there, working together with us. Often with consultants, it’s very academic and it means something when they are there, but when they’re gone, you are left with; now what? But Giving Architects gave The Selwyn Foundation that route map on how best to progress.

Education Advancement

We’re passionate about Education Advancement. In fact, we’ve supported education providers with their fundraising for over 20 years, from leading ambitious capital campaigns to establishing brand-new fundraising programmes to building an entire advancement strategy. It’s a challenging space and needs to be deeply understood to be leveraged well. And that’s where we come in. We’ll provide advice, support, and our extensive experience in education advancement to further your cause.

"The thing I am proudest of in this campaign is that we managed to achieve our goal of raising $16.65 million. When we set out there was a huge target. The expertise of Giving Architects was quite crucial to achieving a lot of the Success."

Fundraising in the healthcare sector has never been more critical. The complex relationship between government, health agencies, clinical leaders, patients and communities makes healthcare fundraising a unique environment. But with us on your team, you’ll have the knowledge and skills needed to excel.

Giving Architect’s knowledge of fundraising strategy, structure and execution is outstanding. Their networks and knowledge of the market were exceptional and I would thoroughly recommend their services.
