A common problem in fundraising

We know that many organisations are doing it tough – competition for funding has always been strong, but a combination of factors are making it even harder to secure funding. A downturn in gambling profits means less funds available through lotteries and the gaming trusts, and the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates are putting pressure on the level of funds that can be allocated towards donations and philanthropic causes. As Aotearoa emerges from COVID and from significant natural events such as Cyclone Gabrielle, the funding landscape looks very different and so it’s more important than ever to be clear and compelling about the “Why” of your organisation. What impact do you have in your community, and why should people support your cause?

We’ve heard from many charitable organisations that these challenges are creating real pressure on resources, and that finding the time to fundraise can be a struggle – let alone having to keep up to date with an ever-changing funding environment. 

We work with a wide range of not-for-profit organisations, across many different sectors, and in all regions of New Zealand. Whilst every organisation is different, many of the key barriers that not-for-profits are working with are the same:

• Not knowing what funding options are out there.
• Whakamā/lack of confidence around making the ask.
• Difficulty telling their story in a compelling succinct manner.
• Low capacity/limited time to spend on fundraising.
• Inability to get fundraising advice due to financial constraints.
• A funding environment which is becoming increasingly competitive.
• Staff turnover resulting in loss of knowledge, relationships and stalled momentum around fundraising (particularly volunteers).
• Lack of planning causing a reactive approach to fundraising.
• Boards not understanding their role in fundraising.
• Looking after funders/partners is often overlooked.
• Knowing what funders what to see when reporting back on performance and impact.
