What our clients say...

  • Professor Elena Rodriguez-Falcon, President and Chief Executive of NMITE

    NMITE engaged the services of Cairney & Company to assist us with the research and development of our fundraising case for support, as well as a specific piece of work looking at developing an innovative scholarship model. These two pieces of work were crucial to NMITE’s fundraising strategy, allowing us to approach potential donors confidently and with clearly articulated and compelling messages.

    By spending time with our team, at both executive and board level, and consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, Karen and her colleagues ensured that both pieces of work were informed and capture the essence of what NMITE aspires to achieve. Both the case for support and scholarship report are very high-quality pieces of work. Cairney and Co also reviewed existing materials and conducted research on trends that would inform future strategic fundraising planning.

    Cairney & Co continue to provide on-going, excellent service, supporting the fundraising function at NMITE. We are most grateful to them for their professional manner, knowledge of the sector and their credibility.
