7 Pillars of Fundraising Success

The 7 Pillars of Fundraising framework is a comprehensive approach designed to guide charities in building diverse and sustainable income streams. By focusing on seven core areas—grants, partnerships, community fundraising, appeals, regular giving, membership, and major donors including trusts and foundations—this framework ensures a well-rounded strategy that maximises opportunities for growth while fostering meaningful connections with supporters. Each pillar provides a unique pathway to engage donors, secure resources, and amplify your impact.

What makes this framework truly powerful is its focus on aligning organisational needs with donor aspirations. It emphasises the importance of preparation, from crafting compelling cause stories to measuring impact, while encouraging adaptability at every stage of your fundraising journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your efforts, the 7 Pillars framework offers a clear, thoughtful roadmap to achieving lasting success.
