MOTIVATION

We have a choice of game-changing pro-bono opportunities.

We are a small but mighty charity and we will benefit significantly from management consultancy from Alpha employees.

Pro-bono projects include:
• Advise SolarAid on how best to invest our limited reserves to support growth.

• Support SolarAid to seize fundraising opportunities in countries across the world.

• Turbo-charge how we use Salesforce to give us better insights into fundraising performance.

INSPIRATION

You will help people like Stella.

Stella Manuel, aged 20, has never lived in a house with electricity. She lives in Kasakula, Malawi with her husband and daughter.

For light she uses grass, burning her hands every single day. Stella does not wish her daughter to grow up this way.

Together we will light up a village and change 2,250 lives like Stella’s.

Donations and fundraising from Alpha FMC staff will go to this project and the first £20,000 raised will be matched by The Turner Kirk Trust.
