The Social Investment Consultancy works with corporate and private foundations to identify the resources, skills, and partnerships they need in order to achieve the impact they want to have. We help foundations of all sizes better articulate their principles, maximise the value of their giving, and enhance their development, programmatic and fundraising strategies.

We offer the following services to foundations.

Strategic Advice. TSIC provides strategic advice specifically tailored to fit our clients’ needs, goals, and stage of organisational development. We provide counsel in a variety of areas, including:

• Articulating organisational values and mission;
• Goal setting;
• Building sustainable and effective partnerships;
• Defining organisational structures; and
• Scaling activities.

Fundraising. We help foundations build their prospect and donor pools through our own in-house research capabilities. We identify individuals, corporations, and foundations whose philanthropic interests align with a foundation’s mission, values, and ambitions. We then work with the foundation to develop cultivation, fundraising and stewardship strategies for individual and institutional donors.

Feasibility and Positioning Studies. What financial goal should a campaign have? What messages would resonate best given a foundation’s mission, goals, and constituents? When should a major new fundraising initiative be launched? The answers to these types of questions are critical to the success of any new fundraising programme or campaign. Our feasibility and positioning studies provide our clients with the research, market testing, and evidence they need to make a new fundraising programme or campaign a success.

Capacity and Support. Many organisations, regardless of capcity or size, often need extra help supporting their development, programmatic, and fundraising efforts. From grant writing to third-party representation, we offer our clients the requisite additional personnel to achieve specific targets.

Strategic Philanthropic Giving. After choosing the right cause, we help foundations create clear giving guidelines, identify beneficiaries and partners, and asses the impact of their giving.
