Client stories
“We weren’t sure where to start, but knew our end-goal was to step into a new arena that required significant fundraising, working with potential high value donors to support Mercy Ships plans for expansion. Giving Architects took the time to hear our hearts, to get to know our team, to become familiar with our history, and our dreams. Giving Architects worked with us on creating a plan to move from where we were, to where we wanted to be. It was a big hairy audacious goal. Our team felt both equipped and enabled for what looked like a monumental leap. Several months later we are thrilled to have accomplished our initial goal and we are now onto our next significant fundraising goal.”
Graeme and Sharon Walls, Mercy Ships New Zealand

For many, the easiest path is moving to a broad market through appeals, community engagement, events and corporate partnerships. It makes sense, especially if your healthcare organisation has a broad-based market relevance. However, it’s not an easy path for others in healthcare, particularly where the market connection is limited. What to do then? Where might you best direct your focus in building a donor constituency? I suggest the answer lies within.
