International Strategy and Fundraising

Not for profit organisations and higher education institutions are increasingly thinking beyond borders to engage donors, stakeholders and alumni all around the world.

But as the global reach of your network grows, you can no longer take a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Effective international fundraising and engagement requires taking cultural differences into account and considering diverse giving environments and traditions.

Why choose
Cairney & Company?

 

Our people have worked with not for profits, business, governments and universities all around the world, helping to forge new opportunities in existing, new and emerging markets. With experience on every continent, our track record is truly global.

 

Culture

This means we are attuned to the cultural sensitivities of giving and engaging with local networks. We know that in China the colour red is synonymous with wealth and prosperity, and that donors in the Middle East are rarely boastful of their philanthropy.

By aligning your strategy to each market’s individual cultural and religious values, we can ensure that you have the best foot forward when making inroads to a new market or expanding your presence in an existing one.

Our experience is particularly extensive in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, India, North America and Australia.
