Welcome to IDFM

Charity Development Specialists

At IDFM, we’re on a mission to support smaller, grassroots organizations that can’t afford expensive consultancy fees but still need professional guidance, capacity building, and fundraising support to make a difference. Saving the planet, protecting animals, and uplifting communities shouldn’t come with an exorbitant price tag.

Why IDFM?

Why Choose IDFM for Growth?

Many incredible charities are on the frontlines, striving to make a real impact, yet they can’t afford the high-priced services offered by traditional fundraising consultancies—often charging up to £280 per hour. These smaller organizations, who can least afford these services, are the ones with the greatest potential to effect meaningful change with the right support.

That’s why we created IDFM—to bridge this gap by offering affordable, expert support tailored specifically to help you:

At IDFM, we provide charities and nonprofit organizations with comprehensive support through our low-cost, subscription-based model on Patreon. For an affordable monthly fee, you gain access to expert-led training workshops, in-depth videos & Webinars, and personalised consultations designed to boost your fundraising efforts and maximise your organisation’s impact. Whether you’re new to fundraising or looking to refine your approach, our Patreon-based model ensures you get continuous, actionable support without the high costs of traditional consultancy.

A £25 Monthly Subscription; Unlimited Potential

A membership with IDFM services ensures you have access to regular consultations, training webinars and workshops, helping your organisation reach its fundraising goal, by covering everything you need to know to ensure your charity is a success.

Sam’s training on copy writing and developing donor appeals was amazing! He even helped us draft the main appeal for my fundraiser in a way that it can reach the right audience. Highly recommend we have learnt so much and are so grateful!

The Leprosy Mission

Samuel it was a pleasure to work with you, your workshops are the best I have ever been to and now our whole team look forward to your training sessions and support each month. Thanks to you we didn’t need to hire an in-house fundraiser and saved us £1000s of pounds that we can spend on our animals! Big Big Big thank you Samuel!

Network Help

Your training was amazing, as a new charity you provided us all the information we needed from first steps to annual targets- without you we would have been lost. Even though we are small and only paying for the cheapest package, we really appreciate you speaking to us so often via WhatsApp to help answer our questions. I am excited to put into practice your recommendations next year.

Education Empowers

The seller went far and above my expectation and delivered an exceptional support. I am so shocked how cheap it is to get this detailed level of training.
