This is our cause. And our profession. We are a small team, passionate about equipping leaders to transform communities. We have chosen to use our talents, gifts and skills to make a positive contribution to the world. We do this as a professional limited company. It’s our job. We love our work.
We are more than fundraisers. As your development partner, we see the bigger picture, connect the dots and help you prepare all aspects of your project for long-term sustainability and growth. We will challenge and encourage you as a ‘critical friend’.
We won’t work with everyone. We need to believe in your vision. We need to see potential for life to grow. You will have the desire to respond effectively to identified community needs. Together, we want to see real lives changed.
We are willing to take risks. Working at the early stages of growth is risky. We recognise the possibility of failure, but we trust that our efforts will bear fruit. When the outcomes are this important, the risks are worth taking.
We work in the background. You’re in the spotlight. You are the star. We take a supporting role; empowering leaders, equipping the local church and enabling grassroots growth. Your success is our success.
Our profit is not at the expense of your mission. We celebrate you, and your unique mission to your community. We work hard to keep our services accessible to smaller projects because we know that your size doesn’t define your significance.
Our History
The work of Futurekraft started out in Bradford in 2012, but lauched officially as Futurekraft in 2016.
Since the start in 2012, we have worked with 190+ projects of varying sizes and needs. In addition to the vital development support that has enabled these projects to grow and thrive, we have raised £13.3m to ensure ongoing sustainability for our clients.
Many organisations have already seen their ideas transformed into fantastic sustainable projects through partnership with us.
“Futurekraft have helped parishes to clarify their missional purpose and develop their outreach strategy. They have proven to be a very useful catalyst and additional resource for a step change in thinking.”

On behalf of the Diocese of Sheffield
We have an excellent track record of raising money for our partners. We do not take on contracts that are solely about fundraising. Instead, we take a unique look at the whole organisation;
- Governance
- Identity
- Operations
- Finance
in order to make sure that each element is fit for the future.
“Futurekraft have helped us at a very crucial time, when we really needed extra support. They have helped us to secure vital funds to expand and continue our work. They identified areas for improvement and have helped us to be more professional, as well as helping us work towards being a healthy, well-rounded charity. Futurekraft have lifted the burden of fundraising so that we have been released to do what we’re best at. Thank you for helping us, so that we can help others.“
Helen Syrop
Manager at Hope Housing
“Futurekraft have been a lifeline during the Covid period and have helped us navigate this unique time. They have supported us with accessing funds which have taken us from surviving to flourishing. They have also shown leadership and integrity during crisis times which are exemplary. It is so encouraging working with a company which excels in its work, but then can pray with you through the process.”
