Bonnie Clayton Consulting
We are consultants in fundraising and corporate community investment, as well as hands on professional fundraisers. We do the thinking and the doing. We have a passion for creating innovative fundraising and community investment strategies and campaigns to address social, education, health and community issues in the UK and overseas.
Specialists in corporate fundraising, sponsorship and corporate community engagement, we also offer full service fundraising strategy and hands on fundraising delivery, with expertise in all major areas of income generation.
These include:
Established for 13+ years as consultants and with 22+ years not for profit sector experience, our clients range from small local charities, not for profits and companies to large global organisations. Our results-driven approach is based on helping charities and not for profits to build multi-faceted and two-way relationships with funders. We also work with companies to create engaging community investment and employee involvement programmes, to deliver against CSR and community involvement objectives.
We see all sides. We have worked in the private, public and voluntary sectors and know how to create win-win partnerships for all parties. We are also results driven. Our business exists to help causes raise money in order to survive and grow their services. We are far from a purely strategic advisory agency, but we take a strategic approach.
We are members of the Institute of Fundraising and abide by their policies, procedures and Code of Conduct for Professional Fundraisers and Fundraising Consultants. We are also full members of the Association of Fundraising Consultants, a gold standard peer-vetted organisation, where Bonnie is also a Board Director.
