Fundraising and income plans
Build a clearer route to sustainable income
Strong fundraising starts with knowing where to focus
When income is under pressure, it can be tempting to pursue every opportunity that appears. A good fundraising plan helps you step back, understand where your strongest opportunities lie and focus your time and resources where they are most likely to make a difference.
Northlight helps you create a practical fundraising and income plan built around your organisation, its ambitions and its capacity to deliver.
Understand where your income can come from
We’ll look at your current income mix, existing fundraising activity and the opportunities available to you. Together, we’ll identify the income streams that are most relevant to your organisation and where there may be scope to strengthen, diversify or develop your approach.
Turn opportunities into a practical plan
We’ll help you move from ideas to clear priorities, setting out what to focus on, what needs to happen next and where your organisation should invest its effort. Your plan will bring together realistic income opportunities, fundraising priorities and practical actions so that your team has a clearer direction and can make more confident decisions about where to focus.
The outcome
You’ll have a tailored fundraising and income plan that gives your organisation clear priorities, a practical route forward and greater confidence in how you develop sustainable income.
