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

Being sensitive to the challenges your donors, volunteers and supporters may be experiencing and offering to help where possible is an important part of nurturing and strengthening relationships.

But what about fundraising and giving in all its forms? Does it immediately decline in an inflationary environment as our economic factors worsen for consumers and market sentiment changes?
