About our charity advisory services
We work with charity leaders and trustees to help their organisations become sustainable and resilient. We offer a broad range of expertise drawn from CAF's work with charities, companies, major donors and our research into charitable giving and philanthropy.
Our work with charities is focused predominantly in the following areas:
- Funding and income generation strategies.
- Strategic planning: including organisational reviews and futurology.
- Board development and governance.
Our principles
We enjoy working with charities and the grantees of foundations, government agencies, grantmakers, corporates, major donors and philanthropists. Our work is based around core principles that help to deliver the maximum impact to our clients. They are:
- Holistic – we don't simply look at one issue in isolation.
- Over time – we balance momentum with the time that's needed for an organisation to reflect.
- Relationships – we work in a balanced and collaborative way with the people we support.
- Connecting and networking – we play to our strengths and make the most of CAF's position in the sector to bring people together.
- Influencing – we take what we learn through our work with charities and use it to help funders understand their impact.
