Philanthropatic & Fundraising
Advisory
We develop relationship centred fundraising strategies that align donors, causes and organisations, creating generosity that feels authentic.
Through intimate gatherings, private introductions and larger scaled experiences we help clients build influential networks rooted in trust, alignment and shared values. Relationships that grow through generations forming partnerships that see passions and interestd served and causes supported.
Philanthropy Advisory
At McGarvie Wallace, we work alongside charities to strengthen how their mission is understood, supported, and sustained.
Our role is advisory in nature. We help organisations clarify their purpose, structure their programs, and engage funders in a way that is ethical, relational, and aligned with long-term impact.
We believe effective philanthropy is built on trust, not urgency.
Strategic Advisory
We support charities at moments of development, growth, or transition when clarity, structure, and considered guidance are required.
​
Our work may include:
Program & Education Development
We help charities design education and community programs that are clearly articulated, well-structured, and ready for funding. This includes shaping curriculum, delivery models, and operational frameworks that support both impact and sustainability.
Funding Readiness & Strategy
Rather than focusing on solicitation, we help organisations prepare for funding by clarifying outcomes, aligning programs with funder priorities, and developing coherent narratives and budgets suitable for grants, foundations, and aligned partners.
​
Relationship-Led Fundraising Support
We advise on donor and stakeholder engagement approaches that prioritise relationship, trust, and shared values, moving away from transactional fundraising models.
Implementation & Delivery Support
Where appropriate, we provide advisory oversight during the early stages of program delivery, ensuring initiatives are implemented with care, consistency, and integrity.
Purpose Aligned Gatherings
Once purpose, strategy, and funding readiness are clearly defined, we may support charities in hosting purpose-aligned gatherings that bring funders, partners, and stakeholders together in a considered and respectful way.
​
These gatherings are not events for visibility or volume. They are designed environments for conversation, appreciation, and alignment.
​
We help charities use gathering as a strategic tool to:
Thank and acknowledge existing supporters
Deepen relationships with potential funders
Introduce programs and impact with clarity
Create the right conditions for thoughtful dialogue around support
​
Every gathering is shaped by intent from guest curation and flow to tone and timing ensuring that any invitation to support feels natural, ethical, and aligned rather than transactional or pressured.
​
Creating the right environment for philanthropy to flow.
We believe generosity follows understanding.
