Business development with purpose

Dunning & Partners is a business development consultancy for culture. 

We help clients in art, architecture, design, and heritage raise funds, advance their mission, and achieve their goals.

Our work is grounded in the belief that culture helps us connect, and envision and build a better future.

We work with non-profit organisations, foundations, private individuals and companies who share this belief.

In everything we do, we foreground people, planet and purpose.

Services

  • We help non-profit organisations forge funded partnerships that advance their mission and put their partners’ values into action in unique and attention-grabbing ways.

  • We help young, established and mature non-profit organisations clarify their vision, develop a strategy to realise that vision, and put that strategy into action.

  • We help non-profit organisations and private individuals develop and run projects that bring people together around culture, increase access, and elevate learning.
