Case study A: a big financial services
company
Rationale for the approach
• in the FTSE 100 (we assume capacity)
• similar companies are known to be amongst the biggest corporate givers to charity
• had previously given a big gift to Oxford (but not for student support)

our (interim) conclusions
• Find allies in high places within the organisation (budget-setters, rather than budget-spenders)
• Network like mad to get to them (think laterally about your connections)
• Listen carefully to what their organisational challenges are
• Match your offering imaginatively to their strategy – but make sure there is enough in it for you!
• It’s not a science – expect more snakes than ladders – but be on the lookout for the serendipitous
• Be bold. It’s not no, until its ‘H... No!’.
