Our Story
Venture Associates is made up of experts with track records of delivering growth and change across a range of causes and issues. We are expert fundraisers, campaign specialists, media professionals and digital marketeers.
Our Directors and Senior Advisors all have first-hand experience of delivering national campaigns and successfully starting new charitable programmes and projects, which have reframed established issues or brands to resonate with new or different markets. Together we have raised hundreds of millions of pounds for good causes and have experience across a range of charitable sectors including social welfare, the arts, conservation, human rights and health.
Our collective strengths and experiences ensure that we can help you challenge sectoral assumptions and access different networks.
