The Giving Heart

Ciara Scallon

The Giving Heart was born of a desire to help charities and communities raise funds that contribute to solving a social problem, to realising dreams or enriching lives. The reward is immeasurable when a  project catches the imagination and delivers on its promise to change or improve lives.

Ciara works with CEO and executive teams in Arts and Health charities to fill short-term resourcing gaps in their organisations on an interim, time or project basis. Using the most appropriate mix of human resources to approach and succeed in the fundraising task with a forensic and fresh perspective can be the difference between rejection and success particularly in today’s challenging funding environment.

As an experienced fundraiser, charity board Trustee, volunteer and donor Ciara comes to the task of strategic income generation with valuable insights into stakeholders’ motivations. Recent successes include awards from the following national and private charitable trusts including a bid of £2.8 million and £1 million in match funding as well as smaller but impactful project award grants of £10,000.
