Having just signed up to the mentoring scheme my first impression is extremely positive! Gareth’s response was immediate and the advice plentiful and relevant. I am still looking into leads that have been provided and I am confident of fundraising success. The tip about seeking support for the production of our annual report has already paid off. Having someone at the end of the phone or e-mail for advice is exactly the support I was looking for and I would highly recommend the PFA mentoring scheme which I think will provide my charity with a quality service at a highly competitive rate.

Trust Application Service
 

This specialist service is designed to help you find that elusive pot of gold - trusts willing to give to unrestricted income or to general projects. 

The basic package involves us sourcing trusts, especially those more difficult to find, and then putting together a positive creative appeal to these trusts for you. 

All you have to do is sign the covering letters and we carry out all the administration.

 

Trials of this Service

This is a new service for 2008, following 2 trials for the service for a single small cause in Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008. 

Autumn 2007 - 100 trusts applied to for general running costs.  6 trusts gave a total of £5,950.

Spring 2008 - 50 trusts applied to for general running costs.  1 trust has given £10,000 in first week.

 

Service

Whilst we cannot guarantee results, clearly these trials are very encouraging and show that some trusts that are harder to source will consider giving income to unrestricted funds.

 

Costs

The total cost for this service is as follows -

£500 plus VAT inclusive of all expenses, postage, etc for the first 50 applications

Additional trusts are charged at £10 plus VAT for each subsequent application, with a minimum order of just 20 if using the same or a very similar template.

 

Research Only Option

We also offer the research only option of sourcing 50 trusts that you do not have current knowledge of for £300 plus VAT.  Just send us your list of names of trusts and we can find 50 prospects for you for £300 plus VAT.  At least 70% will have a strong match for your cause in some way, with up to 30% being 'wild cards' as we have had success with such general giving trusts in the test activity.

 

Small Charity Option

We can also offer 25 trusts researched and applied to for £250 plus VAT or just the research for £150 plus VAT for smaller charities.  However, we do strongly recommend 50 trusts as the minimum to have an accurate test of the service and its results.
