In their words...
We are an independent boarding and day school, and a registered charity. Pippa was commissioned in 2023 by the governors to conduct a study on the potential for generating additional income to our school through fundraising. Pippa worked closely with the governors and the school’s enior leadership team to understand the school’s ambitions and context, exploring comprehensively the school’s ethos and values. Her work realised an extremely helpful report, which she also delivered in person to the board. Pippa considered opportunities and threats, and provided analysis of the potential strategic approaches the school might take. In the process, our school benefitted greatly from her very significant experience in professional fundraising, especially within independent education, and from her expert insight into our school and the external environment. She provided useful advice enabling the board and leadership to make strategic decisions. I would highly recommend her.
Jonathan HetheringtonPippa has been instrumental in her capacity as the school’s Fundraising Consultant over the course of many years; her evident experience has brought a perfect blend of expertise, creativity, and passion to support our fundraising and engagement efforts. Her strategic approach not only maximised our financial goals but also engaged our school community in a meaningful way. From revitalising parental support to assisting with significant fundraising appointments in School, Pippa curated fundraising strategies to fit our unique needs, ensuring an effective and achievable process was delivered. Without reservation, we would highly recommend Pippa to any school seeking a fundraising consultant with exceptional calibre, strategic acumen and of course brilliance in direction; she has not merely ‘steered the ship’ but also enabled and established the importance of building meaningful connections within the community.
Siobhan BrownPippa has been a valuable addition to the Board, she Chairs the Fundraising Committee and sits on our Nominations Committee. She has bought her experience of organisational strategy and governance and an in-depth knowledge of income generation to the Board. She is an active member and has recently led us through an effective Board performance review and supported the Executive team in developing major gift fundraising.
Charmian CainesPippa has put her heart and soul into her role as a trustee since joining our Board. She has mentored staff to develop our major gift strategy, is supporting with getting the rest of the Board to use their networks to fundraise and she has challenged me to think differently in structuring our fundraising resource. Her highly professional fundraising skills are making a huge impact on GCT, helping us realise our ambitious income growth plans.
Sharon JohnsonIt has been great working with you and thank you so much for all your advice and ideas and especially for the strategy – I have learnt a lot from you and it’s been very interesting to start to get my head around fundraising. You have demystified it, laid the path out before us and given us confidence that it’s possible.
Julia WestonThanks for all the wise advice so far.
Mark AdamsJust a quick note to say a huge thank you for the work you done on our Fundraising Strategy. It does seem that we have some really good things we can now start to share with the wider organisation which is amazing! We have quite exciting times ahead I think.
Karen SheridanIn 2014, Inyathelo worked with Pippa Carte for the Advancement Academy for non-profit organisations and higher education institutions, and in March 2017 we reconnected with Pippa to conduct a Strategy and Fundraising workshop for non-profit organisations. Pippa provided practical and applicable content and templates that organisations will be able to refer to beyond the session. We’ve enjoyed our engagements with Pippa, and have appreciated her sharing her expertise and sectoral insights.
Great energy from Pippa, well prepared and engaging. // So many tips; great experience and stories shared. // This was a great workshop, the practical tools were really helpful. // It was a great refresher and igniter of ideas.
Once again, thank you very much for the professional and informative workshop which you have presented at Inyathelo. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot!
The Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the iconic Army veteran community, the Chelsea Pensioners, was delighted to work with Pippa Carte on a new strategy for revenue fundraising. In addition, Pippa provided excellent discrete strategies for individual giving, trusts and foundations and legacy giving. We were so pleased with the quality of the work produced, and Pippa has gone above and beyond the brief in terms of providing additional advice and guidance where necessary, such as in relation to marketing materials and our re-brand work. We would thoroughly recommend Pippa to any organisation and hope to work with her again in future.
Pippa was asked to provide some strategic level recommendations on how to improve the fundraising approach of our small charity. She quickly grasped the scale and scope of the Trust and its current fundraising model and following a short focused engagement with a group of our Trustees was able to provide us with clear implementable recommendations which we are now taking forward.
Pippa has been a great help during our preparation for approaching major donors. She guided us through the difficult task of creating an exciting value proposition and has given us confidence in engaging with people who can make a real difference to ocean exploration and conservation.
Your input was great; sensible, realistic and informed based as it is on your wide experience and it will stand us in good stead.
We are so grateful for all the work that you have done for us this year. I feel that we are a million miles ahead fo where we were when we first met.
I have worked with Pippa on numerous projects. Her ability to grasp any aspect of a fundraise, or capital appeal, is impressive. She challenges, where required, to really extract the core issues that will help an organisation make the best of any programme. She is impressive in presenting complex issues to stakeholders and understands the politics required to ensure long term relationships.
Pippa is an extremely engaging speaker who captivates her audience with her insights and dynamic presentation style. Her knowledge of major gifts and tools for fundraising is evident through the multitude of experiences she shared at the Advancement Academy.
Pippa is an exceptional strategic fundraiser, very analytical, highly organised and unflappable.
Tobin AldrichI have worked with Pippa, both at WWF-UK and at the Children’s Museum, for some seven years. Pippa has demonstrated that she is an outstanding fundraiser – both strategically, and working with volunteers and donors alike. I could not recommend Pippa more highly to any organisation seeking to raise third party funds – whether the advice sought is at Board Level, or in implementing plans.
David GregsonSince she joined our board Pippa has made an excellent contribution not only in terms of her mentoring our fundraising director, but also around the board table. She is diligent, always well prepared and is clearly committed.

Karen Sheridan, Chief Operating Officer, Community Integrated Care
Pippa provided guidance during the set-up of a new development committee and an associated campaign. The scope was broad, ranging from advice on developing a philanthropic ethos in the community through to the policies and design of campaign material needed. Although this was achieved largely through distance communication, interspersed with some short, focused meetings, she quickly grasped the wider ethos of the School and the needs of this committee (as well as their trust). Pippa’s advice was clear and practical, which coupled with her highly articulate and confident delivery, ensured our “Thrive’ campaign gained traction quickly. We are hugely grateful and recommend her most strongly. Bex Tear, Headmistress, Badminton School.

I would not hesitate to recommend Pippa as a presenter. Pippa, first and foremost is a very bright and intelligent person. She is observant and intuitive. Her strength is that she is other centered and goal directed. She was a joy to work with and she brought intelligence and value to every step along the way. She presented well and responded well to questions. She demonstrated confidence and certainty in the subject manner. Tony Myers – Principal and Senior Associate, Myers & Associates, Canada

Pippa is an extremely engaging speaker who captivates her audience with her insights and dynamic presentation style. Her knowledge of major gifts and tools for fundraising is evident through the multitude of experiences she shared at the Advancement Academy. Khairoonisa Foflonker, Student Affairs, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
Pippa is an exceptional strategic fundraiser, very analytical, highly organised and unflappable. Tobin Aldrich, Global Director of Marketing and Fundraising, Sightsavers
I have worked with Pippa, both at WWF-UK and at the Children’s Museum, for some seven years. Pippa has demonstrated that she is an outstanding fundraiser – both strategically, and working with volunteers and donors alike. I could not recommend Pippa more highly to any organisation seeking to raise third party funds – whether the advice sought is at Board Level, or in implementing plans. David Gregson, Independent Chairman and Non- Executive Director
Since she joined our board Pippa has made an excellent contribution not only in terms of her mentoring our fundraising director, but also around the board table. She is diligent, always well prepared and is clearly committed. David Maloney, Chair of Make A Wish UK
I would not hesitate to recommend Pippa as a presenter. Pippa, first and foremost is a very bright and intelligent person. She is observant and intuitive. Her strength is that she is other centered and goal directed. She was a joy to work with and she brought intelligence and value to every step along the way. She presented well and responded well to questions. She demonstrated confidence and certainty in the subject manner. Tony Myers – Principal and Senior Associate, Myers & Associates, Canada
Pippa’s expert insights and recommendations inspired our fundraisers and helped them develop their fundraising more professionally and strategically. Eduard Marcek, Chair Slovak Fundraising Centre
We are an independent boarding and day school, and a registered charity. Pippa was commissioned in 2023 by the governors to conduct a study on the potential for generating additional income to our school through fundraising. Pippa worked closely with the governors and the school’s senior leadership team to understand the school’s ambitions and context, exploring comprehensively the school’s ethos and values. Her work realised an extremely helpful report, which she also delivered in person to the board. Pippa considered opportunities and threats, and provided analysis of the potential strategic approaches the school might take. In the process, our school benefitted greatly from her very significant experience in professional fundraising, especially within independent education, and from her expert insight into our school and the external environment. She provided useful advice enabling the board and leadership to make strategic decisions. I would highly recommend her.
Jonathan HetheringtonPippa has been a valuable addition to the Board, she Chairs the Fundraising Committee and sits on our Nominations Committee. She has bought her experience of organisational strategy and governance and an in-depth knowledge of income generation to the Board. She is an active member and has recently led us through an effective Board performance review and supported the Executive team in developing major gift fundraising.
Charmian CainesPippa has put her heart and soul into her role as a trustee since joining our Board. She has mentored staff to develop our major gift strategy, is supporting with getting the rest of the Board to use their networks to fundraise and she has challenged me to think differently in structuring our fundraising resource. Her highly professional fundraising skills are making a huge impact on GCT, helping us realise our ambitious income growth plans.
Sharon JohnsonIt has been great working with you and thank you so much for all your advice and ideas and especially for the strategy – I have learnt a lot from you and it’s been very interesting to start to get my head around fundraising. You have demystified it, laid the path out before us and given us confidence that it’s possible.
Julia WestonThanks for all the wise advice so far.
Mark AdamsJust a quick note to say a huge thank you for the work you done on our Fundraising Strategy. It does seem that we have some really good things we can now start to share with the wider organisation which is amazing! We have quite exciting times ahead I think.
Karen SheridanIn 2014, Inyathelo worked with Pippa Carte for the Advancement Academy for non-profit organisations and higher education institutions, and in March 2017 we reconnected with Pippa to conduct a Strategy and Fundraising workshop for non-profit organisations. Pippa provided practical and applicable content and templates that organisations will be able to refer to beyond the session. We’ve enjoyed our engagements with Pippa, and have appreciated her sharing her expertise and sectoral insights.
Great energy from Pippa, well prepared and engaging. // So many tips; great experience and stories shared. // This was a great workshop, the practical tools were really helpful. // It was a great refresher and igniter of ideas.
Once again, thank you very much for the professional and informative workshop which you have presented at Inyathelo. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot!
The Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the iconic Army veteran community, the Chelsea Pensioners, was delighted to work with Pippa Carte on a new strategy for revenue fundraising. In addition, Pippa provided excellent discrete strategies for individual giving, trusts and foundations and legacy giving. We were so pleased with the quality of the work produced, and Pippa has gone above and beyond the brief in terms of providing additional advice and guidance where necessary, such as in relation to marketing materials and our re-brand work. We would thoroughly recommend Pippa to any organisation and hope to work with her again in future.
Pippa was asked to provide some strategic level recommendations on how to improve the fundraising approach of our small charity. She quickly grasped the scale and scope of the Trust and its current fundraising model and following a short focused engagement with a group of our Trustees was able to provide us with clear implementable recommendations which we are now taking forward.
Pippa has been a great help during our preparation for approaching major donors. She guided us through the difficult task of creating an exciting value proposition and has given us confidence in engaging with people who can make a real difference to ocean exploration and conservation.
Your input was great; sensible, realistic and informed based as it is on your wide experience and it will stand us in good stead.
We are so grateful for all the work that you have done for us this year. I feel that we are a million miles ahead fo where we were when we first met.
I have worked with Pippa on numerous projects. Her ability to grasp any aspect of a fundraise, or capital appeal, is impressive. She challenges, where required, to really extract the core issues that will help an organisation make the best of any programme. She is impressive in presenting complex issues to stakeholders and understands the politics required to ensure long term relationships.

Pippa provided guidance during the set-up of a new development committee and an associated campaign. The scope was broad, ranging from advice on developing a philanthropic ethos in the community through to the policies and design of campaign material needed. Although this was achieved largely through distance communication, interspersed with some short, focused meetings, she quickly grasped the wider ethos of the School and the needs of this committee (as well as their trust). Pippa’s advice was clear and practical, which coupled with her highly articulate and confident delivery, ensured our “Thrive’ campaign gained traction quickly. We are hugely grateful and recommend her most strongly. Bex Tear, Headmistress, Badminton School.

She quickly grasped the scale and scope of the Trust and its current fundraising model and following a short focused engagement with a group of our Trustees was able to provide us with clear implementable recommendations which we are now taking forward. Ian Tibbitt Rear Admiral (Retd), Deputy Chairman of Trustees, Fly Navy Heritage Trust
Pippa has been a great help during our preparation for approaching major donors. She guided us through the difficult task of creating an exciting value proposition and has given us confidence in engaging with people who can make a real difference to ocean exploration and conservation. James Wallace, Managing Director, Nekton Foundation
Your input was great; sensible, realistic and informed based as it is on your wide experience and it will stand us in good stead. Liz Harrison, Chair of Riding for the Disabled, Cranleigh
We are so grateful for all the work that you have done for us this year. I feel that we are a million miles ahead fo where we were when we first met. CEO, Military Charity
I have worked with Pippa on numerous projects. Her ability to grasp any aspect of a fundraise, or capital appeal, is impressive. She challenges, where required, to really extract the core issues that will help an organisation make the best of any programme. She is impressive in presenting complex issues to stakeholders and understands the politics required to ensure long term relationships. Sir Tim Boughton
Pippa is an extremely engaging speaker who captivates her audience with her insights and dynamic presentation style. Her knowledge of major gifts and tools for fundraising is evident through the multitude of experiences she shared at the Advancement Academy. Khairoonisa Foflonker, Student Affairs, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
Pippa is an exceptional strategic fundraiser, very analytical, highly organised and unflappable. Tobin Aldrich, Global Director of Marketing and Fundraising, Sightsavers
I have worked with Pippa, both at WWF-UK and at the Children’s Museum, for some seven years. Pippa has demonstrated that she is an outstanding fundraiser – both strategically, and working with volunteers and donors alike. I could not recommend Pippa more highly to any organisation seeking to raise third party funds – whether the advice sought is at Board Level, or in implementing plans. David Gregson, Independent Chairman and Non- Executive Director
Since she joined our board Pippa has made an excellent contribution not only in terms of her mentoring our fundraising director, but also around the board table. She is diligent, always well prepared and is clearly committed. David Maloney, Chair of Make A Wish UK
I would not hesitate to recommend Pippa as a presenter. Pippa, first and foremost is a very bright and intelligent person. She is observant and intuitive. Her strength is that she is other centered and goal directed. She was a joy to work with and she brought intelligence and value to every step along the way. She presented well and responded well to questions. She demonstrated confidence and certainty in the subject manner. Tony Myers – Principal and Senior Associate, Myers & Associates, Canada
Pippa’s expert insights and recommendations inspired our fundraisers and helped them develop their fundraising more professionally and strategically. Eduard Marcek, Chair Slovak Fundraising Centre
We are an independent boarding and day school, and a registered charity. Pippa was commissioned in 2023 by the governors to conduct a study on the potential for generating additional income to our school through fundraising. Pippa worked closely with the governors and the school’s senior leadership team to understand the school’s ambitions and context, exploring comprehensively the school’s ethos and values. Her work realised an extremely helpful report, which she also delivered in person to the board. Pippa considered opportunities and threats, and provided analysis of the potential strategic approaches the school might take. In the process, our school benefitted greatly from her very significant experience in professional fundraising, especially within independent education, and from her expert insight into our school and the external environment. She provided useful advice enabling the board and leadership to make strategic decisions. I would highly recommend her.
Jonathan HetheringtonPippa has been a valuable addition to the Board, she Chairs the Fundraising Committee and sits on our Nominations Committee. She has bought her experience of organisational strategy and governance and an in-depth knowledge of income generation to the Board. She is an active member and has recently led us through an effective Board performance review and supported the Executive team in developing major gift fundraising.
Charmian CainesPippa has put her heart and soul into her role as a trustee since joining our Board. She has mentored staff to develop our major gift strategy, is supporting with getting the rest of the Board to use their networks to fundraise and she has challenged me to think differently in structuring our fundraising resource. Her highly professional fundraising skills are making a huge impact on GCT, helping us realise our ambitious income growth plans.
Sharon JohnsonIt has been great working with you and thank you so much for all your advice and ideas and especially for the strategy – I have learnt a lot from you and it’s been very interesting to start to get my head around fundraising. You have demystified it, laid the path out before us and given us confidence that it’s possible.
Julia WestonThanks for all the wise advice so far.
Mark AdamsJust a quick note to say a huge thank you for the work you done on our Fundraising Strategy. It does seem that we have some really good things we can now start to share with the wider organisation which is amazing! We have quite exciting times ahead I think.
Karen SheridanIn 2014, Inyathelo worked with Pippa Carte for the Advancement Academy for non-profit organisations and higher education institutions, and in March 2017 we reconnected with Pippa to conduct a Strategy and Fundraising workshop for non-profit organisations. Pippa provided practical and applicable content and templates that organisations will be able to refer to beyond the session. We’ve enjoyed our engagements with Pippa, and have appreciated her sharing her expertise and sectoral insights.
Great energy from Pippa, well prepared and engaging. // So many tips; great experience and stories shared. // This was a great workshop, the practical tools were really helpful. // It was a great refresher and igniter of ideas.
Once again, thank you very much for the professional and informative workshop which you have presented at Inyathelo. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot!
The Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the iconic Army veteran community, the Chelsea Pensioners, was delighted to work with Pippa Carte on a new strategy for revenue fundraising. In addition, Pippa provided excellent discrete strategies for individual giving, trusts and foundations and legacy giving. We were so pleased with the quality of the work produced, and Pippa has gone above and beyond the brief in terms of providing additional advice and guidance where necessary, such as in relation to marketing materials and our re-brand work. We would thoroughly recommend Pippa to any organisation and hope to work with her again in future.

Pippa provided guidance during the set-up of a new development committee and an associated campaign. The scope was broad, ranging from advice on developing a philanthropic ethos in the community through to the policies and design of campaign material needed. Although this was achieved largely through distance communication, interspersed with some short, focused meetings, she quickly grasped the wider ethos of the School and the needs of this committee (as well as their trust). Pippa’s advice was clear and practical, which coupled with her highly articulate and confident delivery, ensured our “Thrive’ campaign gained traction quickly. We are hugely grateful and recommend her most strongly. Bex Tear, Headmistress, Badminton School.
