ARTS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW

“This excellent little book give a great detail of information to those who cannot afford to retain or employ professional workers to fundraise. The book takes you through all stages of charity fundraising, from establishing a charity, the planning and preparation of a fundraising campaign and chapters dealing with most aspects of fundraising, and even some you may not have otherwise thought of. It is easy to use, packed full of transferable information for your organisation and also contains templates that you can use for sample gift and covenant giving. It includes useful checklists and each chapter has useful appendices to use as a toolkit to help you to develop your own fundraising strategy.
It is easy to use, easy to read and is highly practical as a one-stop-shop to give you a comprehensive guide to fundraising. It is also current for the financial circumstances that most of us in the cultural sector find ourselves in. The book is only £9.99 on Amazon and is well worth the investment!”

PARISH PUMP REVIEW

“If you have ever wanted to raise funds for your school, church, village hall or local community group, you will know that it is a lot more complicated than you may have first thought. This little book is an excellent guide, and will lead you through the entire process, with clear explanations of everything from how to set up a charity, how to plan and deliver a fundraising campaign, and excellent advice on how to approach all the major sources of funds that might be out there for you. There is also advice on tax reclaiming and how to do public relations. Very practical, this book is a real treasure-trove for all would-be volunteer fund-raisers.

Nothings too difficult

We are geared to helping charities suffering from the loss of statutory funding/contracts. No consultancy is more flexible in its approach than us.

We appreciate the work you have put in over the last three years. Indeed, we could not have achieved the success we have had without your assistance. I would like to pass on our sincere thanks for all your efforts on our behalf in the extremely difficult circumstances caused by Covid. We have enjoyed working with you.

Carolyn Frostwick, Medbourne Village Hall

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

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.

Minerva has met our needs and has successfully raised funds for projects as diverse as capital building improvements, project for bored elderly and disabled beneficiaries; and key equipment items we have needed to deliver our services.
