We use a 3rd party subscription provider called Patreon, a reliable and well known site, used to provide exclusive content and support through a membership system. The reason why we have collaborated with Patreon is due to their low fees and built-in financial management system ensuring overhead costs stay low, so we can pass these savings onto our members and ensure we run on a shoe-string budget.

We ensure our digital company has very low overheads and costs so that we do not have to charge high fees to keep our army of employees and corporate offices running. This model is why we are able to boast that we provide more services of higher quality on a wider range of topics for only 1.7% of the cost of other firms. Our model allows us to work project to project keeping costs low and our time flexible, meaning that our base membership is only £30 per month, giving you access to all the support, resources and training needed to help your charity thrive. This cost saving also extends to our  1:2:1 consultations and administration fees for supporting key tasks such as grant writing, annual filings, campaign development and graphic design etc. meaning we can   work for you on an hourly rate much lower than a freelancer or employee could provide. We know that to be a successful charity, you must cut costs and squeeze every penny, so please feel free to squeeze us too and where we have time our team can offer some additional resources and advice for free too.

The reason behind our success is in our ability to take the tried and tested strategies of the largest and most successful INGOs in the world, and then scale them down so that smaller charities can also use these tools and strategies- safe in the knowledge that there has been an army of marketeers and development specialists putting in 1000s of hours of effort-  to make sure these approaches convert and push organisations forward.

Over our shared careers, we have worked for over 50 different organisations, from the very top of multilateral policy with the United Nations Development Programme all the way down to the grassroots level with refugee, animal rescue and homeless charities (please see information about our past partners and testimonies here).

Partners & History This scope of the charity sector allows IDFM to have a unique insight into what works for charities and what doesn’t. How charities have grown to have multiple offices around the world and how others have failed in their first year. How some spend millions of pounds and fail to address a water crisis whilst others spend a few thousand pounds to empower local people to address their own problems and use market forces to sustain and replicate this impact (now known as the public-private partnership model). With charity work, it is not just how much you are able to raise that determines your impact, but how you think and address the problem which ultimately determines your success.
