Fundraising Coordination
At Charity Nest, we believe small charities deserve support with fundraising—without bearing financial risks or having public donations diverted to private company profits. Our services are designed specifically for small charities, helping you organise and grow fundraising efforts responsibly; without paying a private third-party fundraising business.
Our Services
Campaign
Supervision
Our experienced in-house team manages multiple charity campaigns each year. We coordinate your fundraisers, serve as the first point of contact for public inquiries, triage referrals, and handle complaints, ensuring a smooth and effective fundraising process.
Compliance Auditing
Meeting the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Practice is crucial for any fundraising campaign, whether it takes place in the community, at the doorstep, online, or over the phone. Charity Nest offers independent assessments to evaluate your policies in action, providing recommendations, guidance, and accountability to ensure compliance and best practices.
Financial
Management
Determining the success of a fundraising campaign hinges on effectively managing and accounting for income and expenditure. Our in-house finance team can monitor the financial performance of your fundraising efforts, providing key insights and recommendations to help maximise your return on investment.
Fundraising
Strategy
The effectiveness of any fundraising campaign depends significantly on precise targeting. From selecting venues to identifying specific postcodes, our expert in-house data team is dedicated to helping your charity build and validate targeted lists. We also assist in prioritising and managing these lists to ensure you maximise your outreach efforts.
Fundraising Materials
Charity Nest can design and print all essential fundraising materials, including roller banners, podiums, flyers, donation boxes, event programmes, and promotional merchandise. We ensure that all materials align with your brand and messaging to create a cohesive and impactful presence at your fundraising events.
Recruitment & Training
We provide a comprehensive fundraising recruitment and training service that ensures the fundraisers representing your charity are committed to your mission. Our approach helps to ensure they engage ethically with potential donors while adhering to best practices and compliance standards.
Fully Managed Fundraising
Coordination Service
Our fundraising coordination services are flexible, allowing you to utilise them individually, select specific options, or choose the “Fully Managed Fundraising Coordination Service” for a more hands-off approach. With this comprehensive service, Charity Nest manages all aspects of your fundraising campaign - from planning and coordination to execution—enabling you to concentrate on your mission, while we optimise your campaign’s success.
Using a third-party fundraising agency or organising your own campaign can expose your charity to financial loss. With our fully managed service, we offer a financial protection guarantee that ensures, in the worst-case scenario, we absorb the loss - safeguarding your charity's vital funds.
Built-In Financial Protection
When your charity needs funding, you can’t afford to risk vital resources on upfront fees or investments in a fundraising campaign. As a not-for-profit, we are committed to supporting small charities, which is why our fully managed service is free to start -ensuring it’s accessible to the charities that need our help the most.
Get Started for Free
You should focus on what you're passionate about: helping your beneficiaries. Fundraising can be time-consuming and challenging, which is why our our fully managed service let’s you concentrate on what truly matters
Hands-Off Approach
We believe that every donation made to charity should be used for charitable purposes, not private profits. As a not-for-profit organisation, Charity Nest is required to account for the positive impact that we have on the small charity sector on an annual basis, providing you and your donors with peace of mind.
Non-Profit Organisation
With our fully managed service, your charity can secure regular income, which is essential for capacity building. When you’re unsure of when the next grant will arrive, it’s challenging to provide your team or beneficiaries with the security they need. Our campaigns generate consistent and reliable income every month, allowing you to focus on your mission with confidence.
Regular & Secure Income
You shouldn’t be beholden to external funders who dictate how you spend your money and impose burdensome reporting. We envision a fairer future, where you know best how to allocate your charity's funds. That’s why our fully managed service exclusively coordinates unrestricted fundraising campaigns.

I worked with Charity Nest honing their concept. With my extensive experience in the supermarket trade I could see that this idea has real value to both the charity sector and the potential client base for this unique concept.

Charity Nest has been absolutely brilliant and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are always courteous and professional but very kind and caring, driven by wanting to make a difference and deeply understanding the challenges faced by small charities. They gave generously of their time and expertise across finance, websites, legal challenges and more.
