We can work with you on the design and implementation of legacy strategies, mentoring staff during programme roll-out to deliver a legacy channel that will become an effective and sustainable source of funding.

We can also support you in the design of a joint campaign in your country or region and have done this with great success in Spain. In 2006 we launched a joint public legacy information campaign, Haz Testamento Solidario which now has 22 Spanish non-profit member organisations working together.

Braden Lay-Michaels, Vice-President, International Development. Smile Train

We worked with Daryl Upsall International on a challenging yet very exciting new opportunity. Daryl and his team demonstrated a very broad range of expertise in private sector fundraising, showed great service orientation and flexibility throughout the highly complex assignment and delivered the output under great time pressure.

Merle Wangerin, Project Director GIZ

We needed to have a clear understanding of the opportunity to raise corporate funds in a distant country of which we didn’t have any previous knowledge, in order to invest in very specific projects. We thought there were few fundraising consultants that could professionally cope with the difficulty of the assignment. The first name that we came up with was Daryl Upsall International. We are really satisfied with the scope and the quality of the final result. We highly recommend their services.
