Experience

Money Tree Fundraising has been working with charities since 2010 and in that time has raised millions in trust applications, major donor relationships and corporate partnerships for its clients.

Deanna Wolf, who leads the trust fundraising programme for Money Tree Fundraising, has worked at a variety of organisations over the last 16 years, where she has developed superb organisational skills and has a multi-disciplinary, detail-oriented, analytical and creative approach that is very effective when setting up or expanding trust fundraising programmes. Deanna brings with her research knowledge and experience gained as a librarian at one of the largest public libraries in the United States. Recently, Deanna turned around a trust and statutory fundraising programme to stabilise a period of uncertainty within a national organisation, establishing new and improving current donor relationships that resulted in £1.22 million in 3-year funding awards.
