Freelance Fundraising Copywriter
Need a fundraising copywriter who understands the charity sector?
It wasn’t until 2020 when I worked for my first charity that I discovered how important copywriting is in the charity sector.
Since then I’ve been applying persuasive copywriting techniques to enhance fundraising campaigns for big and small charities across the UK.
As an ethical copywriter, I work according to the principles of non-exploitation, while still digging deep into an issue to write impactful fundraising messages.

FAQ’s
How can a copywriter enhance my fundraising campaigns?
At it’s core, copywriting is persuasive. It’s designed to motivate people to take action—or in the context of a fundraising campaign—make a donation. A copywriter will think carefully about what motivates your donors and choose the words that will inspire them to donate to your fundraiser.
What techniques does a fundraising copywriter use to raise money for a cause?
Appealing to a potential donors emotions is key to writing copy that effectively motivates someone to make a donation. Different audiences will have different motivators so it’s important to tailor messages to different groups. Talking about shared values, or ideals, can paint a positive picture for donors, and help them understand what their donation could lead to. Storytelling is still the one of the best ways to drive home meaningful fundraising messages.
What types of fundraising materials do you write?
I write email campaigns, donation pages, appeal letters, pitch decks, social media content, press releases and press pitches.
How quickly can you start on my project and what’s the typical timeline for delivery?
I can usually start within a week, depending on current bookings. Most projects are delivered within 1 to 2 weeks, but larger jobs may need more time. I’ll confirm timelines during our initial discussion. For retainer packages, we’ll establish a publishing schedule, and I’ll deliver the work according to that timeline.
Do you handle all the copywriting yourself or do you work with a team of writers?
I personally write all the copy so everything is consistent and you have a single point of contact throughout your project.
Do you provide images or design elements along with the copy or content?
I specialise in writing as opposed to graphic design. I can do basic graphic design using tools like Canva, but I would always suggest hiring a graphic designer to get the highest quality designs and value for money. I can work with your designer or put you in touch with a trusted designer to create imagery for your campaign.
What information do you need from us to begin the work?
I’ll ask for things like brand or tone of voice guidelines, specific objectives, key messages, information about your target audiences, past campaigns, and any examples of fundraising copy you like. Don’t worry if you don’t have brand or tone of voice guidelines, I’ll work with you to develop them.
Are there any extra costs I should know about when working with a fundraising copywriter?
My quotes include all research, writing and editing costs. For quick-turnaround projects I may add a rush fee, and if travel or additional meetings are involved, I’ll outline any extra costs upfront.
What format will you deliver the final copy in, and can you upload content directly to our site if needed?
I’ll deliver your fundraising copy in Google Docs, but if you need, I can upload it directly to your CMS, social media platform, or email service for an additional fee.
Do you offer discounts for multiple, large or ongoing fundraising campaigns?
Yes, I offer discounts on ongoing content formats like emails, blog posts and social media content, and on large and multiple campaigns.
What’s included in the revision process if we need adjustments after the first draft of copy?
All projects include two rounds of revisions to ensure the final copy meets your expectations.
