about us

More giving, more impact, more than consultants

Like you, we’re driven by positive change for people, planet and place.

We know how challenging it can be to connect with donors who care about your cause.

At Giving Architects, we’re more than fundraising consultants, we become a vital part of your team. Empowering you with effective giving solutions to amplify your donor relationships and maximise your impact. We understand your mission is unique. And that’s why we don’t have a one-size-fits-all way of working. With our tailor-made solutions and proven track record, you can trust us to deliver. Whether you need a high-level strategic view or hands-on delivery, we’ll commit to seeing your project through to fruition.

With decades of experience between us, we boast top fundraising talent in New Zealand and Australia. In fact, it’s our team of passionate problem solvers and innovators that sets us apart. With us in your team, you’ll have the confidence needed to think big and succeed.

So, don’t let the size and scale of your mission hold you back. We’ll design and deliver the effective giving solution you need to drive the positive change you (and we!) desire.

Our values | Our 'FIVE C' mantra

Our core values (or what we like to call our five C mantra) are the fundamental principles underlying our mission.

CHANGE MAKERS

As passionate and committed change makers, driving positive change for people, planet and place is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is your mission. We’ll dedicate ourselves to your cause and won’t be satisfied until we see results.

CHARACTER

You’re accountable to your stakeholders and donors, so trust is paramount. That’s why you can trust us to do the right thing, every time.

COLLABORATIVE

We’re here to listen. To you, so we can understand your mission. And to others – experts, industry leaders and researchers – so we can apply the best, most up to date information to your project.

CREATIVE

We’re curious and creative thought leaders, exploring new ideas and ways of doing things for the greater good. We’ll challenge the status quo, always.

CLIENT-CENTRIC

In the same way we encourage you to be donor-centric, we’re relentlessly client-centric. More than fundraising consultants, we become a vital part of your team.

Our Experience

As trusted advisors to the for-purpose sector, we have worked with many great organisations to achieve significant fundraising outcomes. The scope and scale of the needs being met varies tremendously. We apply our skills, knowledge and expertise to provide effective solutions that meet your needs.

Giving Architects brings a unique understanding and deep experience with proven expertise in for-purpose sector fundraising and marketing. We specialise in growing revenue so that our clients can fulfill their purpose and deliver greater impact to people and planet. This often involves raising millions of dollars for transformational projects.

These projects often present a challenge to donors and funders who question where Government responsibilities end, and their responsibilities begin.  Carefully crafted donor-centric messaging is essential to demonstrate the compelling and urgent needs that donors can partner in, standing alongside credible organisations and being part of the transformational change. The appeals associated with these needs require careful, strategic planning and the execution of sequential interconnected tasks that optimise philanthropic outcomes.
