"Jenni Giblin of Funding HQ has a wealth of fundraising knowledge behind her and she is willing to share this knowledge with MA members to help them achieve their fundraising goals." Adele Fitzpatrick Chief Executive Museums Aotearoa

New Zealand fundraising capability and support platform

Funding HQ is a purpose-built online capability building platform, developed to educate, support and provide structure to not-for-profits, Local Government and community organisations needing to secure funding. Funding HQ provides tools and efficiencies to ensure your fundraising journey is productive and fun.

Museums Aotearoa have been partners with Funding HQ since 2023. Funding HQ have provided members of Museums Aotearoa with a database of funding opportunities, and a series of webinars, videos, resources and templates to assist with their funding bids.

Whilst every organisation is different, many of the key barriers that not-for-profits are working with are the same:

  • Not knowing what funding options are out there.
  • Whakamā/lack of confidence around making the ask.
  • Difficulty telling their story in a compelling succinct manner.
  • Low capacity/limited time to spend on fundraising.
  • Inability to get fundraising advice due to financial constraints.
  • A funding environment which is becoming increasingly competitive.
  • Staff turnover resulting in loss of knowledge, relationships and stalled momentum around fundraising (particularly volunteers).
  • Lack of planning causing a reactive approach to fundraising.
  • Boards not understanding their role in fundraising.
  • Looking after funders/partners is often overlooked.
  • Knowing what funders what to see when reporting back on performance and impact.

Funding HQ works with its members to create a sustainable and diversified personal funding plan from a range of sources; Central Government, Local Government, Corporates/Businesses, Trusts (gaming, private and community) Philanthropy, Foundations and communities.

We will help you write a clear and compelling case for investment, create a diversified plan and show you how to invest time into relationship management.
