GG+A offers a comprehensive suite of consulting services and analytical tools to help clients worldwide achieve their philanthropic ambitions

A Letter From Ian Wilson

It is a real privilege to lead GG+A’s UK and Europe practice area, and to partner with clients across many sectors to support them in meeting their philanthropic ambitions.

GG+A is incredibly proud to have had a presence in London for more than 30 years, and we have been delighted to work with numerous organisations over that time. Our global client relationships are especially important to us and continue to inform and enhance our work as a firm.

In our work with clients, we have learned that the perceptions and practice of philanthropy differ around the world. We’re very aware that the historical and cultural norms that influence giving can vary across many geographical and political landscapes — from the employment of professional fundraisers and the willingness to invest in fundraising programmes, to the nuances of soliciting and stewarding donors and the engagement of academic and executive partners in the fundraising process.

At GG+A, we are very enthusiastic to partner with more organisations across the UK and Europe, and to collaborate with you and your teams to drive growth and achieve your ambitious goals. If we can help to support your objectives, please don’t hesitate to contact me at iwilson@grenzglier.com.

Each issue of the GG+A Playbook takes a deep dive into the key challenges facing industry leaders. Our consultants share their perspective and expertise based on years of working with advancement programs of every model and around the globe. Learn from their firsthand experience and insights.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the most formidable challenges many of our non-U.S. clients face is the need to promote the habit of giving at institutions that used to be largely or entirely state-supported and in countries where private philanthropy is less prevalent. Another, at a very practical level, is the pressure to recruit and retain highly skilled fundraising staff in markets with consistent shortages of experienced talent. Also common at higher education institutions, we find, is the need for development professionals and academic leaders to learn how to collaborate on major-gift fundraising for best results.

Whatever the combination of factors, GG+A conducts data-based analysis and provides pragmatic guidance for implementing strategic recommendations.
