Why IDFM?
Why Join IDFMs FREE Charity Community?
Many incredible grassroots charities are driving real change in their communities, yet they often lack access to the training and expertise that could amplify their impact. Traditional fundraising and consultancy services can be costly—sometimes reaching £280 per hour—putting them out of reach for the organizations that need them most.
That’s why we created our free IDFM Charity Community —a space where experts from across the sector volunteer there time to share their skills and knowledge to new charities for free. By connecting grassroots organizations with experienced professionals, we ensure that those making the biggest difference get the support they need to grow, thrive, and maximise their impact.
Join us today and gain access to expert-led training designed to empower your charity—completely free. Our goal for the community is to help each charity:
- Raise more funds
- Grow your organizational capacity
- Develop impactful campaigns
- Achieve long-term 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!
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!
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.
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. We have used consulting agencies that delivered 10% of what Sam provides and charged us £1,500! Samuel only charged us £30! Amazing value! I highly recommend his service!
Amazing Work. Professional. Excellent communication skills. Went beyond to share his knowledge and even helped us complete our campaign materials. Highly motivated and knowledgeable. I would recommend. I will also work with him in the future on every fundraising campaign and grant application we develop
