Services
Ali specialises in setting up development operations from scratch, consolidating and auditing existing operations and working with organisations and their staff to make fundraising, engagement, alumni relations and membership programmes more strategic, sustainable and cost-effective.
She can provide ad hoc support and advice, work on specific projects or provide senior part-time interim cover. Unlike many other consultants who just focus on major gift fundraising, Ali enjoys working on getting the best from an organisation’s individual/regular giving programme, and helping clients become more data-focussed so they can create better goals and more realistic targets for all elements of their development operation.

From a few hours to a longer-term contract, Ali is happy to offer advice, share experiences and suggest best practice to help clients solve problems and create a more strategic operation.

Ali is happy to take on stand-alone projects, such as auditing a regular giving programme, renovating a tired alumni relations programme or streamlining a direct mail appeal. She can also create new activities from scratch, such as devising a new stewardship scheme, or carry out a deep-dive of a client’s data to inform on strategy and planning.

Whether it’s maternity cover for a development director, or offering interim support to bridge recruitment issues, Ali has a lot of experience of ‘helicoptering in’ and hitting the floor running to help out in a staffing crisis.
