Free help-lines

Charity Consultants Ltd has offered helpline services for the past eight years to the not for profit sector, working in association with ACEVO, the Association for Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations. The service offers trustees and senior management staff 20 minutes of free advice. For charities seeking to raise £1 million and over, a free half day of consultancy is offered. The advice covers the following areas:

A free grants help-line - whatever your fundraising query about trusts, lottery or EU funding, we will put you in touch with one of our grants specialists. If you are thinking about launching a grants fundraising programme we will also offer a free London-based meeting to help you get your thinking straight.

Planning a capital and major gift project - Are you looking for a new building, major initiative, endowment of more than £1 million or just want to reach major donors? Charity Consultants Ltd can arrange a half day planning session for you and your board.  We ask you to fill in a simple questionnaire and involve your trustees and relevant senior managers in the meeting so that they understand what is involved.

Looking for corporate sponsorship, corporate social responsibility, or simply ways to get companies involved? - ask for a free session with our corporate fundraising specialists. They are London based so these meetings need to be arranged in London; they are totally free.
