Empowering Futures Together: fundraising programme development for First Foundation

We recently caught up with Kirk Sargent, CEO of First Foundation—an organisation we deeply admire for their incredible work empowering talented young people through scholarships, mentorship, and life-changing opportunities. During our conversation, we reflected on the journey so far, why First Foundation chose to partner with Giving Architects to grow their fundraising and what stood out to Kirk about the partnership with us. It was great to capture Kirk’s thoughts.

First Foundation's mission and the amazing impact they have in the community inspire us every day. It was a true privilege to collaborate with such a passionate and dedicated team. In the video, Kirk shares why he chose to work with us and highlights the diverse skillset of our team—something we’re incredibly proud of.

A heartfelt thank you to Kirk, Milly, and the entire First Foundation team for trusting us with this meaningful work. Your commitment to creating brighter futures for young people is truly transformative. It’s such a joy to work with you and we’re honoured to be part of your journey.
