Governance and Fundraising Support: Saffron Hall

Challenge

Saffron Hall is a philanthropy-founded, world-class concert hall in a secondary school in East Anglia in the UK. The challenge was to ensure appropriate governance and an active fundraising programme to support the Hall and its activities.

Response

Initially engaged to deliver an in-depth governance review, Philanthropy Company went on to act as an extension of Saffron Hall’s fundraising team, delivering practical fundraising support. We created a compelling case for support that articulated the need and value of the artistic programme, organisational vision, and learning and participation work. This yielded significant Trust and Foundation income.

Impact

Saffron Hall was delighted with our work and the team was able to use the case for support as the basis for fundraising through 2021, and going forwards.  Following our work in early 2021, Saffron Hall was successful in securing funding to survive the lock-downs of 2021 and emerged on a sure footing after Covid-19 restrictions lifted.  Funding secured included from private trusts, donors, and a grant from the Cultural Recovery Fund third round.
