Hello, my name is James, and I have been fundraising for charities for over twenty years.
To learn more about the services offered you can find out more about my work via the menu. To contact me directly please e-mail me at james@jamesallport.com
In this time, I have developed expertise in DRTV and Individual Giving programs for charities. I am very capable in delivering new projects as well as maintaining and optimizing existing ones. My experience covers acquisition, retention, legacy appeals and planning and budgeting over multiple years.
DRTV is a specific specialism I have developed in recent years. For Animals Asia I created a DRTV program from a business case I created, through scripting the advert, production, recruitment of agencies to a successful program. From the initial test through to a campaign with two adverts on-air delivering circa 1,300 regular donors a month at market leading KPIs.
In my career I have been fortunate to work with amazing causes and some incredible fundraising professionals.
This has inspired me to develop and implement a sustainable best practice approach in Individual Giving. I have been fortunate to work in global markets as well as the UK.
My strengths are across a range of Individual Giving and Direct Marketing channels, strategy, planning and budgeting. I am also experienced in developing fundraising propositions, new products, tender processes, market research and business cases and financial projections for boards and decision makers. I have also worked in International Markets and this has covered DRTV, market research, business and budget development and supporting colleagues in multiple countries improve their programs. ​ Having been successful in many interim roles and standalone projects I am providing my services to charities directly. I have delivered successful DRTV programs from research and business case to a full program delivering thousands of donors a month. I’ve improved supporter recruitment and increased income from retention programs. I have created Budgets and Business cases projected over multiple years, strategic advice, research, coaching and team building all focused in Individual Giving.
