Great Copy for Good Causes

I'm a professional direct response copywriter specializing in the creation of highly persuasive fundraising campaigns for charities and non-profits.

Over the last four years my work has raised more than US$16 million (€11m/£9m/AU$15m) in funds, and recruited thousands of new donors for leading charities, NGOs and community groups worldwide.

« How to persuade a donor to write you a cheque for $20,000... | Main

A picture paints a thousand words, but...

They say a picture paints a thousand words. And of course, they're right. But when it comes to effective fundraising through direct response media... it's the thousand words that make all the difference.

Because while it goes without saying that evocative imagery can attract your donors' eyes and open their hearts... it's persuasive and emotive copy that opens their cheque books.

Without words that paint pictures, words that stir emotions, words that tell your stories and make your donors feel part of your solution... you won't get the results you're looking for. Or the revenue.

That's where the craft of writing effective direct response fundraising copy comes in. And it's the difference between getting an adequate result, and beating all expectations.
