Karen Edgington

fundraising and charity consultant

 

I provide strategic consultancy as well as practical hands-on freelance support to help charities grow income, raise brand profile and increase impact. I specialise in fundraising, but also work in marketing and communications, as well as charity management and governance.

I believe successful fundraising is about relationships and a real drive to create social change. The very best fundraising practice is highly personalised, driven by creativity, data insight, a strategic marketing approach and a curiosity to try out new ideas and learn from them.

My approach is strongly aligned with these beliefs. I immerse myself in a charity and quickly develop a close, collaborative and honest relationship with those I work with. I am meticulous and planned, but also a crack on and make it happen type. Most of all, I am driven by a deep desire to leave this world that bit better than I found it…
