Dedicated charity copywriter with professional fundraising experience
The printing deadline’s looming, the grant closing date has crept up, and you’re still trying to finalise those last-minute details for this weekend’s gala event.
As multi-hat-wearing fundraisers, we all know the persistent pit in the stomach caused by the daily struggle of competing priorities.
But, while we’re told to focus on the strategies with the most income, as fundraisers dedicated to raising as much as we can for our cause, we also know that every program deserves our attention just as much as the next.
So, typically in a busy non-profit, tight budgets and an over-stretched team will usually mean working after hours, or, worse, submitting rushed, poorly written appeals.
Writing services to help busy fundraisers avoid burnout, and meet KPIs
As a copywriter with six years first-hand professional fundraising experience and a further nine years of writing copy for charities across Australia, I provide time-poor charity workers with the words needed to meet deadlines while moving supporters further up the giving pyramid.
Whether you’re looking for a draft of your direct mail appeal letter, a case for support for your organisation or program, or content for a grant application, you can use the copy provided in line with your existing program strategy to reach fundraising targets.
"Jo was so professional and accommodating and I am truly impressed at the calibre of work she was able to turn out in such a short time."

Because of the remote nature of our work, we don’t have to be local to offer a streamlined service.
Nestled in the heart of beautiful Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast, we’re always happy to catch up for a coffee in Coolum or the surrounding areas to discuss your writing project. We can also discuss your content over email, by phone, or by utilising the convenience of video technology (Zoom, Teams or Skype).
