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 200+ 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 £17m to ensure ongoing sustainability for our clients.
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.
“Our journey with Futurekraft began in 2019 when we met Jan de Villiers, at a Resources Exhibition in Manchester, and after a short conversation he agreed to come over to meet the team and develop an understanding of who we are and what our vision was going forwards. That was the start of an amazing partnership with Futurekraft that has been nothing short of transformative. Futurekraft grasped what we, as a group of charities, were about and then put together a development and fundraising strategy which has given us a solid foundation from which we have been able to grow the team and the work and, as a consequence, has empowered us to make a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals. We could not have achieved this without their expertise, creativity, and genuine passion for the charitable work that we are involved in. In every sense, Futurekraft is not just a company—it’s a force for good, a true partner in our mission to bring hope and transformation to our communities.”

“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.”
