We offer a complete suite of services to help you achieve your fundraising targets.
Whether you’re looking to raise millions for a large capital project, need to execute an annual giving strategy, or simply run an event-based fundraiser, we specialise in delivering campaigns from concept-to-completion—with a focus on maximising your net gains. With close to 20 years of campaign fundraising behind us, we have the knowledge, experience and passion to help you hit your targets.
Capital Campaigns
Capital campaigns are a special time in an organisation’s history. They present several opportunities, but they also come with several challenges. We are positioned to meet those challenges and deliver campaigns that are on time and on budget. We provide everything from the initial feasibility, strategies, case for support, design and creative, training and counsel. And we can offer these services as a package or piecemeal.
Specialised Campaigns
The fundraising landscape is overcrowded, repetitive, and messy. Your donors are bombarded with hundreds of messages daily. We develop campaigns that cut through the clutter and connect you to your audience in a meaningful way. Over the years, we’ve delivered everything from annual campaigns to direct response one-offs—and we’re confident our tailored campaigns that move hearts and minds to generate your organisation revenue.
Special Events
Events have a place in every non-profit, but they can be labour intensive and time-consuming, both of which eat into your net results. We handle all the details including logistics, creative and sponsorship, film and photography… and we can customise packages to suit your needs. Our goal is to take the burden and expense off you and produce something that tells your story, represents your brand, and most importantly, makes you money.
Revenue Generation Planning
Whether you’re looking for short-term gain or long-term sustainability, finding ways to grow your revenue is essential. Our RGP planning provides you with a roadmap for revenue growth. Starting with a complete audit across all giving channels, we’ll break down your current strategy, platforms, tools and case for support. From there, we’ll provide you with specific tactics, timelines, revenue projections and resource requirements to hit your targets.
Capital Campaigns
Capital campaigns are a popular way to raise funds, but they can also be incredibly complex and time-consuming. Strategies are always evolving, and even with a dedicated team in place, campaigns can cannibalise your other fundraising efforts.
Our approach is simple. We sit down with you and your team to understand your needs, assess your situation, clarify your expectations, and then make recommendations that work for you—not us. We’ll provide you with an honest assessment of what we think you need to be successful in your fund development campaign—and with over two decades of experience, we can do this efficiently and with accuracy.
At Linked Creative, we’re able to offer you more than just campaign counsel. We can take your campaign from concept-to-completion, or we can work with you to fill in the missing pieces. Either way, we ensure that every aspect of your campaign is delivered on strategy, on time and on budget.

Specialised Campaigns
Fundraising campaigns are an essential part of every non-profit organisation. But with over 80,000 registered charities in Canada alone, that’s a lot of competition. Combine that with everyday messaging, and it’s a wonder how your campaign gets seen at all.
At Linked Creative we blend our skill in fundraising, design work and donor-centric communications to come up with campaigns that not only get noticed—but move people to act. Over the years we’ve built campaigns at the national, provincial and local level so we have the ability to scale up or down to meet your needs. To ensure success, we sit down with you to understand your fund development targets, resources, donor base, available data and research… this helps us set realistic and deliverable targets. Then we get after it!
At the end of every campaign, we sit down with you and assess the overall campaign: the approach, the targets, the success—and yes, sometimes the failures. We’ll leave you with a complete report and blueprint so you’re able to take the successful model and replicate it for future campaigns, if you so choose. At the end of the day, we’re not in this for us, we’re in this to make YOU money.

Special Events
If we’re being honest, as fundraising professionals, we all hate events. They’re labour intensive and time-consuming, they create missed opportunities for your fundraising team, and they eat into your net results—unless you let us take all of that off your plate.
Okay so maybe WE don’t hate all events, and we’re actually quite good at them. Over the years we’ve run everything from golf tournaments to galas. We understand and prioritise the importance of ROI and our focus is all about maximising your net return. We’ll sit down with you to understand your fund development goals for the event, e.g. revenue generation, donor acquisition, or education and awareness. Then we get to work!
We handle all details, including the creative and we can customise packages to suit your needs. Our Our goal is to take the burden and expense off you and your team and produce something that tells your story, engages your donors, builds your brand, and ultimately generates revenue for your organisation.

Revenue Generation Planning

We also provide coaching and training for teams looking to take that next step, including working with your Board.
Our ultimate goal is to help build the pillars that can set your organisation up for fundraising success for the three-to-five years—or longer.
