about us
bee advisory is a philanthropy and fundraising consultancy providing independent advice to charities, philanthropists, family offices and the private client community.
Hello!
I’m Rebecca, Founder of bee advisory.
I am a relationship-led fundraising and philanthropy specialist with 16 years’ experience helping charities grow philanthropic income and supporting philanthropists to give strategically and with greater impact.
I am passionate about helping organisations, individuals and families connect giving with meaningful social impact.
I always knew I wanted to build a career that helped to make the world a fairer, healthier and more sustainable place. That ambition led me to work for UK and international charities, as well as with a donor-advised fund, meaning I bring a unique perspective on both fundraising and philanthropy.
My experience includes:
-
Building partnerships and securing six and seven figure gifts from Major Donors and Foundations in the UK, US and internationally
-
Leading major giving and philanthropy teams focused on sustainable income growth
-
Launching new major giving and transformational philanthropy initiatives
-
Working alongside private client advisors, family offices and philanthropists
-
Contributing thought leadership through speaking engagements, panel discussions and podcast appearances
-
Serving as a Trustee at Fawcett Society and a co-opted Board Member at Ovarian Cancer Action.
Outside work, I’m a keen runner and qualified Run Leader, and love supporting people along their running journey.
bee advisory bridges the gap between fundraising and giving. We provide bespoke advice, tailored consultancy, and hands-on support to help charities grow sustainable philanthropic income and philanthropists develop effective giving strategies that maximise social impact.
What's it got to do with bees?
The short answer: I’m known simply as ‘B’ to my closest family and friends!
The longer answer: Bees play a vital role in helping natural ecosystems thrive. I believe that effective philanthropy and successful fundraising go hand-in-hand.
That's why bee advisory works to support the whole philanthropic ecosystem, helping philanthropists give more effectively and charities build stronger, more sustainable sources of funding.
