Looking for a speaker or consultant? Let's discuss how we can grow your charity's impact.
Get in TouchJose Gaign is not your typical consultant. His expertise wasn't built in a classroom, but on the doorsteps of thousands of homes across the UK. As a record-breaking fundraiser, Jose learned early on that true fundraising success comes from genuine connection, not high-pressure sales tactics.
The Journey
In February 2020, Jose achieved what many thought impossible: he became the #1 ranked fundraiser out of over 2,000 door-to-door fundraisers across the UK for the National Deaf Children's Society. But this wasn't just about numbers—it was about listening, understanding, and connecting people with a cause that truly mattered.
That same year, Jose's dedication to ethical, relationship-driven fundraising earned him the prestigious Salesperson of the Year award at the European Marketing Convention. This recognition validated what Jose had always believed: that integrity and empathy are not obstacles to success—they are the foundation of it.
The Mission
Today, Jose channels his frontline experience into Gaign Strategic Fundraising, a consultancy dedicated to helping health charities grow sustainably and ethically. His approach is simple: combine data-driven strategy with human-centred storytelling. The result? Campaigns that don't just hit targets—they build movements.
Through his podcast, The Strategic Health Check, Jose shares insights, interviews industry leaders, and challenges the status quo of charity fundraising. His message is clear: giving back isn't just about asking—it's about inspiring.
Why "Jose Gives Back"?
This platform exists to showcase the power of ethical fundraising and to inspire the next generation of charity professionals. Every campaign, every strategy, and every conversation is rooted in one belief:
"True success in fundraising isn't measured by how much you take—it's measured by how much you give back."
