fundraising consultancy
I help organisations develop their own ‘secret sauce’ for sustainable, effective income generation - partnering with boards, early-career fundraisers and leadership teams to raise more for impact.
​
I support charities of all sizes to build tailored, sustainable fundraising approaches - whether that’s a strategic refresh or coaching a growing team. I have a particular specialism in major and principal gifts.

Case for support

about rebecca
I founded bee advisory in 2025 - amid global and domestic upheaval - to raise the bar for giving, improve shared understanding and offer a fresh, values-led approach to fundraising and philanthropy advice.
I’ve had a varied career spanning social impact working with high-net-worth individuals, foundations, companies and private client advisors to help direct private capital for good.
​
Working for leading UK and international non-governmental and humanitarian organisations (including International Rescue Committee, ActionAid and UK for UNHCR) I have led teams and partnered with philanthropists, raising millions that has helped to save and rebuild lives in the UK and around the world.
​
I took a brief hiatus to work for a donor-advised fund, collaborating with high-net-worth individuals and private client advisors to provide structures to facilitate charitable giving.
I’ve maintained a presence in both spaces since and have developed unique, unparalleled insight into what makes philanthropy truly work.
​​​
I am fortunate to serve on the Board of The Fawcett Society and as a member of the Fundraising and Communications Committee at Ovarian Cancer Action.
​
I have a MSc in Development Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies and a BA (Hons) in Geography from Kings College London.
​
I am based in the UK - just outside of London.
