About Us
Who We Are
At Gecko Fundraising, we specialise exclusively in tendering and fundraising for the charity sector. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we pride ourselves on helping non-profit organisations secure the vital funding they need to thrive and grow.
Whether your organisation is struggling with limited time, resources, or in-house expertise, Gecko offers a trusted, results-driven solution. Our sole focus is to identify, apply for, and win funding from charitable trusts, statutory bodies, and major Lottery distributors so you can focus on the work that matters most.
We are proud to be full members and registered Fundraising Consultants with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, and we’re even prouder of the results we consistently deliver. Our clients typically see a return of over £14 back for every £1 you spend with us – considerably better than the sector average of £7.90 return.
