The International Fundraising Consultancy. is a global management and fundraising consultancy for civil society, with offices in London, Ottawa, Geneva, Milan, Amsterdam, Kiev, Singapore, Lima and New York

History

International Fundraising Consultancy was the brainchild of John Baguley, Jasvir Kaur and Chris Small, who wanted to use their fundraising and management skills to help civil society. It was registered as a company in 2000 with equal share ownership. Small has since left the International Fundraising Consultancy, leaving Baguley and Kaur as co-owners and directors.

Activity

In addition to its fundraising and management services, the International Fundraising Consultancy is known for the free monthly advice sessions it runs for not-for-profit organisations called Friday Fundraisers. These take place in London, Manchester, Milan, Kiev, Geneva, Amsterdam and Ottawa. IFC expanded in 2004 with the addition of a dedicated Small Charity Unit. The unit is led by Nicholas Fenton, a former director of the Centrepoint and ChildHope UK charities. IFC has also supported fundraising innovation, helping Barnet and Southgate College to open a centre dedicated to learners with learning difficulties and disabilities.

IFC is known amongst its peers for providing expertise and knowledge in all areas of fundraising, including viral fundraising, corporate fundraising and the ethics behind it, and capital appeals.
