About Us

Our Team & Associates

When it comes to fundraising, we know that people and relationships matter.

Our founder, Sarah Barrer, has sought out the expertise of senior fundraisers, like Emily, who share this vision. Sarah and Emily are supported by specialist fundraising and communications contractors who bring their own insights to every project. Using our unique practice framework, our people deliver clear, complete and ready-to-use strategies and programmes based on a model that has been tested and refined for 15 years in the New Zealand market. It has been shaped by the Canterbury earthquakes, the Christchurch mosque attacks and the global pandemic.

We are confident that our approach works.

“For me, it just comes down to the basics. Take some time to recentre on who you are – your vision, your mission, your values, your fundraising priorities – you know, ‘where are we, where’s the organisation going?’ And then I would say my biggest advice is to plan.”
