Helping charities raise more through expert fundraising, live auctions and event hosting
Tim works with charities, schools and organisations to maximise the fundraising potential of their events, from the initial planning and fundraising strategy through to the live auction, pledge drive and event hosting on the night.
With 15 years of experience in the fundraising industry, Tim combines professional auctioneering and event hosting with practical fundraising consultancy to help you get the very best possible result from your guests.
Event Fundraising Consultancy
Tim will work with your team in advance to understand your fundraising objectives, previous results, audience and event format. From there he can help build a clear fundraising strategy and advise on a run-of-show designed to maximise participation and income.
Live Auction
Tim provides professional charity auctioneer services for fundraising dinners, galas, balls and other events.
From helping you select and position your auction items to running the auction live on the night, Tim will make sure your items are presented in the best possible way with the right pace and energy.
Every audience is different, so Tim will adapt his approach to the room and the event, but expect energy, humour and fun!
Pledge Drive / Fund-a-Need
A potentially huge part of any fundraising event that is often overlooked, the pledge moment is your opportunity to involve the whole room.
Tim will help you plan the structure and messaging of your pledge, including how to communicate the impact of different donation levels and create a clear reason for guests to give.
Tim has helped clients achieve increases of up to 300% in pledge donations by refining the way this important fundraising moment is delivered.
Event Hosting
A great host keeps an event moving, connects the different elements of the evening and makes guests feel part of the occasion.
Tim can host your entire event or specific sections of the evening, including introductions, interviews with speakers, videos and fundraising activities.
Tim’s experience across both fundraising and event hosting means he understands when to entertain, when to build energy and when to communicate the key message of the evening.
