Second Tier & Umbrella Organisation Fundraising
Second tier and umbrella organisations, the bodies that support, represent and coordinate other charities and community groups, face a particular fundraising challenge. Because their beneficiaries are organisations rather than individuals, the case for support can feel more abstract to general donors. Yet the impact of a strong infrastructure body is multiplied many times over across the sector it serves, and a well-articulated case can unlock significant funding.
Every year we are pleased to work with a number of infrastructure bodies, membership organisations and sector-support charities to develop their fundraising. The typical services which second tier organisations use are:
- Trust and foundation fundraising, including core funding trusts
- Statutory and lottery fundraising
- Corporate partnerships and sponsorship
- Membership income and fee development
- Individual giving, where applicable
- Major donor fundraising
- Legacy fundraising
- Social enterprise and traded income (e.g. training, consultancy, publications)
- Sponsorship of events, conferences and networks
