Philanthropy is at the heart of our work. Bridging the gap between donors and charities, our INSIGHT team works to create and manage effective, innovative giving partnerships. We help philanthropists, next generation donors and foundations to build meaningful and effective giving strategies, partnerships and programs. INSIGHT also supports charities to streamline their operations, improve their donor relations and create sustainable, stable funding opportunities.

Our services go beyond the charitable scope. In 2020, INSIGHT expanded our practice to startups and small businesses. We realised our project management and growth expertise and strategy blend seamlessly between the philanthropy and small business worlds. INSIGHT allows founders to focus on their innovative ideas and leave the small (and big) stuff to us. Whether it is a company health check, management of a small project or creation and execution of a major campaign, INSIGHT provides SMEs with the extra resources they need to achieve their goals.

We recognise that every client is unique and we bring a fresh perspective and approach to help you achieve your goals and have the greatest impact possible. INSIGHT transforms your ambitious ideas into action.

Expertise

Our area of expertise is communication. INSIGHT makes cooperation and coordination between donors, charities, boards and beneficiaries seamless allowing all stakeholders to focus on the communities and causes they serve.

INSIGHT most commonly serves as intermediary between donors and charities to manage the expectations and create mutually beneficial relationships around a shared vision. Our team creates a highly personalised strategy developed from your history, values and goals and manages its execution from start to finish.

Extended team

INSIGHT retains a small permanent staff because low overhead means lower costs to you. However, we supplement our internal team with a global network of partners of industry leaders which allows us to scale up our team and offer specific expertise for your needs.
