Services
• Strategy Development and finding additional Unique Selling Points (USP)
• Through candid conversations, help develop and write a fundraising strategy and timeline which then feeds into a professional Case for Support.
• Targeted fundraising to Trusts and Foundations which are likely to be interested in the charitable project or program. Completing applications to effectively capture the ethos of the charity and set out the requirements succinctly.
• Devising creative community initiatives and events to support applications and provide awareness of a charity’s goal within the community.
• Developing and encouraging community involvement during project planning stages and beyond.
• Enabling charitable organisations to continue to undertake their fundraising independently, and through open discussion, to establish different approaches to fundraising and raising awareness of their cause.

Testimonials
Phyllis Smart, Home-Start
"We recruited Catriona of Greenmore Consultancy as a funding consultant at a time when our charity needed long-term security. Catriona was instrumental in sourcing monies from large and small grants,
completing applications, both local and national, communicating with funders and working alongside us to ensure the ethos of our charity was at the centre of her work.
Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience enabled us to reach grants and pockets of monies which were previously unknown to us and her gift with words expressed our service succinctly within complex
and detailed application forms. She gave us inspiration and motivation at a difficult time for our service. A joy to work with."
David Chandler, Treasurer BCL
"
Catriona was a highly valued member of the Braemar Community Ltd. fund raising team that raised in excess of 1.5 million to complete the “Raising the Standard Project” at Braemar Castle.
Catriona designed and managed the community fund raising for the project and her energy and enthusiasm was critical to getting our community engaged with the project. With her impressive network of contacts and, through the successful delivery of a varied and creative programme of events, Catriona helped spread the Braemar Castle story throughout Aberdeenshire and beyond.

Jill Standing, Castle Fraser Estate
" I worked with Catriona at Castle Fraser, on a number of fun, community fund-raising events involving all the family. These events not only helped to raise awareness of the work of the National Trust for Scotland, but also raised much needed high level funds to help to maintain the historic property. Catriona is very creative and ensures a successful event through her attention to detail and engaging personality. "
