How We Partner with You

Developing your Major Gift Programme

We work alongside your fundraisers to help you create authentic donor relationships and make you successful in your work. In partnership with leadership, key team members, and your fundraisers, we’ll provide training, coaching, and encouragement to establish a system and structure for your major gift programme. We’ll dive into the details with you so that you’re working with qualified donors who have an individual revenue goal and a personalized communication strategy. Interested in learning more? The next step is to get in touch to start your free, no-obligation major donor assessment today.

Developing your Mid-Level Programme

Typically, charities do a great job with entry level donors, but struggle to effectively move these donors through the donor pipeline and into major gifts. By developing a mid-level programme, you’ll have the structure in place to improve donor and value retention, increase revenue per donor and move more donors into major gifts. If you’re ready to learn more about your mid-level potential, contact us to find out how we can help and get your free mid-level donor assessment now.

Sian McDermott

Senior Client Manager

Sian is an experienced high-value fundraising coach and she has worked with Veritus’ clients to develop their major and mid-level programmes. She specialises in evaluating their communications, both written and spoken and then coaching them to produce their best performance. She helps her clients to build strong relationships with their donors and to have a donor-centric approach to their work – so often missing in non-profit organisations. The approach, so seldom used, of putting themselves in the donor’s shoes before communicating with them reaps dividends.

Matt Wenham

Head of Philanthropy, World Vision

“Veritus UK, through their Donor Assessment, identified how our major and middle donor programme could grow by more than £19m over the next 5 years. We have been delighted with the progress they have made with our team since then.”

Louise Timmins

Head of Fundraising, The Leprosy Mission
“Veritus UK created our major and middle gift programmes nearly 10 years ago and have been advising us ever since. They have helped us to recruit the right fundraisers, build the right structure, create the right plan to bring us to where we are today.”

Anthony Hayman

Director of Fundraising & Communications, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice
“Veritus Group came to our aid during Coronavirus emergency through mentoring our T&F and mid-level team. At a time where the temptation was to focus solely on ‘doing’, they helped us to remain strategic by developing strategies for communicating with supporters during lockdown, as well as honing the way we both systematise and personalise (as appropriate) our supporter communications. We have already benefitted positively from their support.”
