Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
Henry Consulting Co partners with charities, not-for-profit organisations, medical research teams, and philanthropic foundations across Australia and internationally. We support organisations seeking funding, as well as foundations looking to design effective granting programs and evaluate impact.
Can you help our organisation build a fundraising strategy?
Yes. We help organisations develop clear, practical fundraising strategies tailored to their goals and capacity. This includes assessing your current activity, identifying opportunities for philanthropic investment, strengthening your case for support, and building internal capability for long-term growth.
We’re a small charity with limited resources — can you still help?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are growing organisations without dedicated fundraising teams. We help you prioritise the most achievable opportunities, build essential fundraising foundations, and create a realistic pathway for securing grants and philanthropic support.
What does ‘philanthropy and fundraising’ support include?
Our support ranges from capability building and donor engagement planning to identifying aligned funders, refining your case for support, and preparing high-quality proposals. We tailor every engagement to your organisation’s stage, needs, and ambitions.
Do you help foundations design granting programs?
Yes. We work with philanthropic foundations to develop or refine their granting strategies, including priority setting, eligibility design, selection processes, evaluation frameworks, partnership approaches, and outcome measurement. Our goal is to help funders create programs that deliver meaningful, measurable impact.
Can you assist foundations with evaluation and learning?
Absolutely. We help foundations understand the outcomes of their granting, design practical evaluation frameworks, and support grantees to measure and report their impact. We focus on actionable insight and practical tools that improve learning and decision-making.
Do you offer grant writing services?
Yes — often as part of broader fundraising support. We help organisations prepare philanthropic and foundation grant submissions, expressions of interest, impact narratives, and supporting materials. Our focus is on linking your work to clear outcomes that resonate with funders.
Can you help us measure and demonstrate our impact?
Yes. We design evaluation frameworks, develop outcomes and indicators, create reporting tools, and translate data into clear impact stories. This is valuable for both organisations seeking funding and foundations managing granting programs.
How much do your services cost?
Every engagement is scoped individually and reflects the expertise and time required. Most projects are multi-day or multi-stage and are quoted based on your goals, timelines, and the complexity of the work. We’ll provide a clear, tailored proposal following an initial conversation.
Do you work beyond Melbourne?
Yes. We work with organisations and foundations across Australia and internationally, and many engagements are delivered fully remotely.
