At Minerva we tailor our services to our clients' requirements, because we believe that the "one size fits all" philosophy in fundraising is inappropriate for the needs of many smaller charities.

 We offer flexible terms of engagement so that smaller charities are not tied into long and costly contracts. We believe that our clients should be offered the ability to amend or terminate contracts as the fundraising situation develops.

Professionalism

 Jimmy James BSocSc has been a Member of the Institute of Fundraising since 1995, and holds the Institute's Certificate in Fundraising Management (Cert FM). In 2004, he became one of the first people in the UK to achieve the Certified Fundraising Executive qualification from CFRE International. He also holds the English Speaking Board International's Diploma in Oral and Written Communication (Dip ESB).

 Minerva abides by and endorses the Institute of Fundraising's Codes of Practice, and works in partnership with its clients to achieve each charity's fundraising aims.

The Minerva Approach

 We realise that small and medium size charities have many different aims, and that their resources, both human and financial, are likely to be less than the major national charities. Because we understand this, our approach is geared to suit the needs and wishes of our clients.
