We work with organisations to develop a comprehensive philanthropy strategy — from landscape analysis and diagnostic through to a clear plan, case for support, prospect identification and implementation support. The result is an actionable roadmap tailored to your organisation’s needs that will guide your philanthropic growth into the future.
Planning a major philanthropic campaign requires rigorous preparation. We guide organisations through every stage of campaign development — diagnostic, scoping, planning, building your case for support, identifying prospects and providing implementation support to maximise your campaign’s success.
Strategic corporate partnerships can be a powerful and sustainable source of income. We support organisations to identify and approach the right corporate partners — developing a compelling proposition, researching and prioritising prospects, and supporting you to build long-term, high-value partnerships that deliver meaningful impact for both sides.
Novas is an Approved Housing Body working with families and single adults who are disadvantaged and socially excluded; primarily those who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, providing a range of services and accommodation for marginalised households throughout Ireland. 2into3 supported the organisation in developing a new funding strategy, which would see the organisation diversify its income streams and increase the organisations total budget for spending on its frontline services. The growth of the fundraising function of the organisation was one of the key outcomes of the work. Read more about our work with Novas here.
Feed Cork is the humanitarian department of Cork Church, who partner with local agencies & businesses to help fight food poverty in Cork supplying nutritional food packs for individuals & families in need. 2into3 worked with FeedCork to establish the long term funding needs of organisation, identify funding gaps and the scale of philanthropic support required for the organisation to meet its strategic goals leading to the development of a sustainable funding model for the organisation.

Dublin Youth Theatre is a Dublin-based charity delivering quality artistic experiences through drama workshops and theatre productions made by and for young people aged 14 to 22, with a mission rooted in the artistic, personal and social development of young people since 1977. 2into3 worked closely with the DYT board and staff to develop a comprehensive fundraising strategy — surveying potential income streams, developing a case for support, and benchmarking how comparable arts organisations generate income, resulting in a practical, realistic and fit-for-purpose strategy to guide the organisation’s fundraising growth.

Extern began developing a new Fundraising Strategy following the launch of our five‑year organisational strategy, Vision 2030, earlier in 2025. A key ambition within this vision is to widen and diversify our fundraising streams beyond our current government and public‑sector funding model, ensuring greater sustainability and flexibility for the years ahead. We knew we needed expert guidance to help us take this step with confidence. 2into3 were successful in the tendering process, and from the outset their professionalism, efficiency, and deep expertise in fundraising were evident. Their knowledge spans corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, major donors, and philanthropy, and their counsel throughout the process was consistently insightful and grounded in real‑world experience. The strategy we now have has been genuinely co‑designed by our Board, Strategic Leadership Team, working steering group, and 2into3. We are now moving into the operational phase with clarity, confidence, and the tools we need to deliver on our goals. It has been a learning curve, but a hugely worthwhile and valuable one for all of us. Thank you to the 2into3 team for your support and steady guidance throughout the development of our new Fundraising Strategy. This has been a significant milestone, and your leadership helped turn our ambition into a clear, actionable plan.
