Your fundraising isn't broken. Your system is.
The Fundraising System Health Index Lite tells you which areas are affecting you most, and where to focus your attention.
Most charities do not have a fundraising problem. They have a system problem that shows up in fundraising. The Index gives you a board-ready diagnostic of your fundraising system across eight Forces and forty sub-dimensions, scored against the same rubric our consulting engagements use.
It costs £495 plus VAT and, once you’ve submitted your evidence, you’ll receive a calibrated read on the system that produces your fundraising performance within five working days.
Please ensure you set yourself some quality time to engage with the process – we find it takes about 2 hours from start to finish.
A note from our founder
I’ve spent two decades watching brilliant fundraising teams hit a ceiling that is not about them. Every time I’ve gone deep enough to find the cause, the cause has been structural. Strategy that doesn’t translate into delivery. An income portfolio that nobody designed. Leadership intent that runs into governance friction. Data that describes what happened but never says what to do next.
That’s why we created The Fundraising System Health IndexTM.
The Health Index exists because most charities don’t need another campaign idea. They need someone to look honestly at the system that’s producing the results they’re getting, and to name what’s actually in the way. The Lite tier is the entry point. It gives you a serious, board-ready read for the price of a half-day workshop. If something in it warrants going deeper, that’s what Guided and Full are for.
It won’t tell you everything. It is not a substitute for the conversation an experienced consultant brings to the room. But it will give you a defensible starting point and a clear next step.
