Every fundraiser and organisation faces moments where something isn’t working, but knowing why and what to do next can be hard. That’s why we’ve built these toolkits to give practical, proven resources that help you move from insight to action.
Each toolkit is drawn from the same evidence-based frameworks we use in our consulting work—strategic mapping, root cause analysis, organisational health assessment, and systems thinking. They’re designed to help you:
Diagnose what’s really going on to uncover the underlying causes, not just the symptoms.
Design better strategies, systems, and behaviours that support fundraising success.
Deliver change with clarity and confidence, using structured approaches that engage your whole team.
Sustain improvement by embedding learning, reflection, and accountability into everyday practice.
Our growing library of toolkits gives fundraisers and leaders everything needed to translate ideas into lasting impact. They’re free to download, easy to share, and built to help you strengthen your system and not just fix the symptoms.
When fundraisers have the right tools, they don’t just raise more money, they change the way organisations think, work, and grow.
Diagnosing dysfunction toolkit
Imagine seeing a doctor and telling them you had a rash that appeared on your leg yesterday. If she said immediately that the best thing to do is to amputate the leg straight away, would you go ahead and do it? Of course not.
We’ve seen what happens when people jump straight to solutions before diagnosing the dysfunction… and it leads back to the same place every single time.
That’s why we use the tools from our diagnosing dysfunction toolkit to help get to what actually needs fixing, what is the best way to do it, and to record how we intend to do it.
They’re here for you to use freely. If we can help at all then do get in touch as we’d love to help you get the right diagnosis.
