Whatever your size or ambition
The Fundraising Agency can help unlock your not-for-profit’s full giving potential.
The Fundraising Agency (TFA) is a small agency that has already made a big impact. As experienced fundraisers, we’re committed to helping not-for-profits achieve their purpose, and sharing our understanding of New Zealand’s unique giving culture.
TFA’s founder and Managing Director, Sarah Barrer, has worked with over 250 not-for-profits, from volunteer-led grassroots groups through to large national charities. Drawing on our collective knowledge and expertise, we’ve have created hundreds of fundraising strategies and developed successful giving programmes, from concept through delivery and to growth.
Informing all our work is the knowledge that the most successful fundraising requires clear purpose, priorities, and planning. A clear strategy and strong foundations makes it easier for people to give to your purpose, so that you can deliver on your goals. Let us show you how.
We knew about (The Fundraising Agency) and had worked with them early on in our campaign journey… if we were going to go anywhere, it was always going to be Sarah.

-
Major Gifts – identifying and connecting with a smaller number of donors who can give greater levels of financial support
-
Bequests (Gifts in will) – a nuanced giving stream that can yield significant financial support over the long-term
-
Corporate partnership – identifying and leveraging partnerships that are considered and offer maximum benefit in return for association with your good work.
Our capability development options are tailored to the learning needs of fundraisers, leaders and governance members. Whether it’s nailing down your vision, values and fundraising priorities, understanding philanthropic fundraising and your role in growing it within your charity, or providing executive-level consideration of fundraising practicalities, we can help you level up your ability, capability, and confidence.
A clear vision and fundraising priorities are helping Supercars achieve wins for their community.
We also offer general consultancy services. If you have a specific fundraising need that our expertise can support, reach out.
When faced with the unthinkable, TFA helped YHA NZ make transformative change for other charities.
It was logical to me to invest in working with a fundraising team at the top of their field, which is how we see (The Fundraising Agency). They provided on-the-job training and walked alongside our team, upskilling them along the way. That meant we could move faster. And we got the best advice and support and the best outcome for families.
