Downes Murray International

Downes Murray International is South Africa's leading fundraising consultancy. We help non-profit organisations (NPOs) to achieve sustainability through fundraising to individuals. Our solid track record and unrivalled expertise and experience benefits NPOs of every kind. We've learned more than a few fundraising truths over the past few decades! Ask yourself: * Are there fewer corporate donors investing in your cause? * Do you need to fundraise for operational costs like salaries? * Are you worried about surviving any tough times? If you answered 'yes' to all those questions, it's time to devise a strategy for individual giving. It's individuals - not corporates - who account for most charitable giving in South Africa - and the world. Donations from individuals can be used to offset operational costs – and they can help to build reserves for the future. Bequest programmes that DMI helped some of its clients to launch years ago are still raising significant funds. DMI has worked alongside NPOs of almost every kind, including those focused on care for the elderly, conservation, children and youth, people with disability, animal welfare, educational institutions, churches and religious organisations. We offer specialised fundraising and communications services, including strategic planning, digital fundraising, database management, feasibility studies, capital campaigns, individual giving programmes, direct mail, donor communications, telephone fundraising, online giving, stewardship programmes, major gift drives, church stewardship, bequest promotion and cause-related marketing.
