Anthony Oliver MA BA MInstF

Fundraising support for charitable organisations

With over 15 years experience at the highest level Anthony has in-depth knowledge of the art of fundraising. His expertise in running capital campaigns (at both New Hall, Cambridge and The National Star College for Disabled Youth, Cheltenham) ensures that he is able to work both on top level strategy but also on grass roots fundraising through trust applications or approaches to individuals.

He has identified and recruited key senior volunteers from the corporate and social sector onto fundraising boards and managed the fundraising activities of those individuals.

His track record includes raising £1.4M in one evening at the launch of the New Hall 50^th Anniversary Campaign, asking for and receiving a donation of £300,000 from one individual and successful trust applications up to £500,000.

Anthony has worked with senior volunteers including some of the most influential individuals in Gloucestershire and beyond from Lord Lieutenants to High Sheriffs to internet entrepreneurs. He has negotiated ongoing support from international companies such as UBS.

As a consultant he has advised on strategy, and raised funds for organisations across the charity sector including the ASHA Foundation, Sporting Equals and Access Sport.

With two degrees in modern languages Anthony’s communications skills enable him to get the message across through presentations and publications as well as applications to trusts and foundations.
