I help people like you secure transformational funding for the change you're creating—built on connection, trust, and lasting relationships.
How’s your fundraising feeling lately? Confident? Connected? Strategic?
Or maybe it’s a little... stuck?
Maybe your board is nervous about asking for money.
Maybe your biggest donors have gone quiet.
Maybe your team is doing a hundred things — but still not raising what you need.
If you’re here, you probably already know that. You’re not looking for a flashy appeal or a one-off gala. You’re looking for a way to raise more consistently — by building the kind of culture and relationships that create real, lasting support.
That’s what I do. I help people like you to:
Build confident teams and boards who can champion your mission.
Develop long-term donor relationships that feel generous, not transactional.
Create clear, structured plans for major gifts, stewardship, and donor love.
Design ambassador and advocate networks that grow your reach and your income.
No guilt. No jargon. No hype. Just practical, joyful, human-first fundraising strategy.
Because you can raise more — with less hustle, and more heart. And I’d love to show you how.
Dear Ambitious Friendraiser,
Steph Curley, CEO, Surfrider Foundation
“Working with Simon was a game-changer for our fundraising. He brought heart, strategy, and a deep understanding of how to inspire people to care—and act. His ability to connect with donors and align their values with our mission made a lasting impact on our work.”
Might I help you?
Here’s my promise: many for-purpose organisations are leaving transformational funding on the table — not because they don’t care enough, but because they are not building truly intentional, trust-based relationships with their supporters.
Maybe your board doesn’t feel confident asking for big gifts. Maybe your donors feel more like transactions than partners. Maybe your fundraising feels disjointed or a bit... reactive.
That’s where I come in.
I help you bring structure, heart, and strategy to your relationships — so you can raise more and sustain your mission long-term.
From creating a clear donor roadmap to training your people to be confident ambassadors, I work alongside you to shift culture and grow capacity. This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about building something that lasts.
The good news? You don’t have to overhaul everything. Small, intentional changes can unlock major support.
Let’s talk.
How about we work some wonders together?
About Me
For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of fundraising, philanthropy, and purpose-led strategy — helping organisations deepen relationships, grow support, and build lasting movements.
I’ve led major donor programs, coached boards, built ambassador networks, and crafted campaigns that connect people to causes they love. My experience spans local grassroots initiatives to national foundations, always rooted in one core belief: relationships drive impact.
From designing donor journeys to training leadership teams, I bring practical tools, clear strategy, and deep humanity to the work of raising funds — not just for now, but for the long haul.
I’ve also worked alongside environmental movements, changemakers, and bold campaigns that believe in a wilder, more generous future — and know that it starts with trust.
