Karen Edgington

Fundraising Consultant

 

I provide objective, strategic consultancy as well as practical hands-on fundraising support to help charities grow income and increase impact.

I believe successful fundraising is about relationships and a real drive to create social change. The very best fundraising practice is highly personalised. It is driven by a true understanding of the needs of donors and beneficiaries, data insight and effective tailored communications.

My approach to my work is strongly aligned with these beliefs; a close and honest relationship with clients, an eye for detail and a deep desire to leave this world that bit better than we found it…

 
 
Karen brought clear strategic thinking to our capital campaign, a real appreciation of our challenges, great patience and always solutions. She was someone I knew I could trust and who would always deliver. Her direct and honest approach was a godsend and I will be eternally grateful for her support. She helped us reach the target ahead of schedule and established a strong fundraising programme for the future, leaving a real legacy for the charity. She is a joy to work with and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
