For over 20 years I have been directing multi-award winning capital campaigns, raising millions in major gifts for some of Australia's most iconic charities and not for profit organisations.
As independent fundraising counsel I help you achieve campaign success by developing a unique and compelling case for support that leads to extraordinary giving.
Social Venture Consultants established itself as an innovative, unique and a results oriented consultancy. The stencils below represent strategic counsel, growth and capital works. These images contained by irregular shapes which wave back and forth represent movement while orange was chosen for its boldness.
When creating My Major GiftGetter – an app which helps fundraisers plan smart, work clever and get more major gifts, Rodin’s classic image was retained to illustrate the need for those involved in major gift fundraising to think carefully.
As a key innovator in modern art, Auguste Rodin’s (1840-1917) “The Thinker” was chosen to represent a commitment to strategy, innovation and tailored solutions.
This stencil of a vine stretching and expanding represents growth. A stretch gift is at the heart of any capital campaign.
The strong figure holding a brick speaks to the human capital necessary to make any campaign a success.
