TESTIMONIALS

‘To have such a thorough report on your fundraising activity, with recommendations is truly helping us to transform our supporter journeys, and improve our thanking processes. It’s the old, ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’, well, with the Secret Giver Report you find out, and let’s face it we really need to be loving our donors and this is helping us to do that better than we ever hoped!’

Emma Malcolm,
Director of Fundraising & Marketing, The Macular Society

‘I have worked with John for over 6 months and during that time he’s produced excellent work for us, whether that’s been donor development strategy, acquisition programmes or research programmes. John is a brilliant strategist and planner, and extremely knowledgable about all aspects of fundraising. The work he did for us around supporter profiling proved invaluable. I really value John’s insights, his ability to quickly grasp and articulate the unique challenges and opportunities we faced as an organisation, and then work alongside us to develop solutions. John is a pleasure to work with and he’s gifted at helping any audience to understand fundraising, whether that’s been our board members, directors or staff. I recommend John to any charity looking for expert advice on their fundraising strategy. He has endless patience, and I’m very grateful for his calm and systematic approach. I can’t recommend him – or thank him – enough.’

Chief Operating Officer, The League Against Cruel Sports

‘The Secret Giver Scheme is a fantastically innovative and thorough initiative that gives us the opportunity to genuinely benchmark our supporter care, identify improvements, celebrate best practice and measure ourselves against the external marketplace. For the first time we have been able to genuinely assess and validate the quality of our service and our communications with supporters, and gather up-to-date and relevant information in a consistent and intelligent way.’

Michael Dent,
Director of Fundraising at founding member Alzheimer’s Society

‘We were very impressed with JGA’s depth and breadth of knowledge of fundraising generally and legacy marketing and research in particular. We placed an important piece of insight work with them and found them responsive, thoughtful and challenging. They helped us shape both the qualitative and quantitative elements to be as robust and as insightful as possible and took care of every detail. Our confidence in them has been further rewarded by some very positive comments and compliments from supporters who received the research material or attending the focus groups.’

Vicky Furnival,
Legacy Manager, The Woodland Trust

‘Working with Jaimie has been an absolute pleasure. I’ve always found her to be diligent, hardworking, and ready to go that extra mile to get the job done to the highest degree possible. I worked with Jaimie whilst covering a period of maternity at Y Care International. She made it very easy for me to get up to speed quickly and get projects completed on time and on (or even under) budget. I would highly recommend working with Jaimie to anyone, and I hope our paths cross again someday soon. Thanks Jaimie for all your wonderful support!’
