Charities start 2016 facing some of their toughest tests in recent history.

Charities in Crisis, the Great British rake-off and Charities are the last bastion of corporate greed are just a few of the headlines in 2015.

At Minerva we tailor our services to our clients’ requirements, because we believe that the “one size fits all” philosophy in fundraising is inappropriate for the needs of many smaller charities.

We offer flexible terms of engagement so that smaller charities are not tied into long and costly contracts. We believe that our clients should be offered the ability to amend or terminate contracts as the fundraising situation develops.

Testimonials

We have always been grateful that we chose Jimmy James as our Fundraiser, his firm but encouraging handling of our Trustees combined with his thorough knowledge of relevant grant making trusts has served us well…in fact he has now been engaged by us again to carry out a Capital Appeal to enable us to own our own centre for autistic children.
Mervyn Terrett, Tracks Autism – Stevenage
You took us on a journey for which……..we had no experience. We owe you a great debt of thanks for your professionalism, skill, patience and, as the results to date show, for your success on behalf of the campaign.
John Emms, Chairman, Skinners’ Almshouse Charity
We asked Minerva Fundraising to undertake a complex funding bid to the Rural Payments Agency for a major capital grant from the EAFRD. This involved Minerva not only leading the funding bid, but also working with other agencies we’d involved in the project. Jimmy brought all the parties involved together and produced the submission, with the result that the funding bid was totally successful. Our capital project has now been completed and provided important new facilities for White Mills Marina. We’d certainly recommend Minerva to any organisation needing to raise major sums.
Debbie Skinner, Director, White Mills Marina
You have done an excellent job and we are very optimistic for the future. Thank you very much for what you have achieved… we could not have managed without you.
Jim Harker OBE, Chairman, Geddington Sports Pavilion
Thank you for all you have done over the last year to support our fundraising for Trinity3. I have appreciated your good communications, open direct approach, your advice and experience. I am sure I will be in touch again at some point.
Andrew Eastham, Chief Executive, Fellowship Afloat Charitable Trust (FACT)
Jimmy James of Minerva Fundraising has a long association with SERVE and its work for older people and adults with disabilities in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. Our requirements are very varied – ranging from specific projects and equipment needs to increasing our year-on-year fundraising. In all these areas our partnership with Minerva has been most successful. Minerva continues to meet our needs and has successfully raised funds for projects as diverse as capital building improvements, projects for our elderly and disabled beneficiaries; and key equipment items we need to deliver our services. We will continue to work with Minerva Fundraising with future projects..
Jess Slater, Chief Executive, SERVE – Northamptonshire
