E|C CONSULTING

Expertise, advice and support for non-profit organisations

MY SERVICES

With a Master’s degree in International Solidarity and 15 years of international experience in fundraising and project management, both as a fundraiser and a donor, I offer my expertise to Swiss and foreign non-profit organisations in the fields of fundraising, project design, organisational process implementation and support for NGOs wishing to set up in Geneva.

I am flexible, so tell me what your needs are! Whether it’s short-term, one-off support or long-term coaching as a member of your team, I can provide you with a tailored, personalised package to overcome the challenges you face.

I work alone or in collaboration with other consultants and networks in order to bring complementary expertise and ensure excellent results.

SOME CUSTOMERS 

« We are very satisfied with our collaboration with Emilie. Her sound advice and invaluable teamwork in preparing our projects were of fundamental importance to our fundraising. Her skills, flexibility, responsiveness, courtesy and attentive approach are undeniable assets. We would like to express our deepest gratitude and look forward to working with her again in the future.»

The Non-Violence Project Foundation

« Four profiles are necessary in fundraising: the one who understands the vision of the beneficiary organization, the one who knows how to translate this vision into the language of the donor, the one who masters the legal, administrative and technical mechanics of the donation and the one who, as a mediator, knows how to put oil in these many wheels. Emilie Compignie succeeds in embodying all four profiles at once. Beyond the professional skills, she is committed and engaged in doing good to others, the world of philanthropy needs personality like hers. »

ABOUT EMILIE

I offer fifteen years of international expertise in fundraising and project management. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs from La Sorbonne and a Master’s degree in International Solidarity from the Faculty of Social Sciences – Institut Catholique – in Paris.

Having lived in East AfricaI have extensive field experience in international development. I have worked with various non-profit organisations, including in North America where I learned fundraising techniques such as brand association with companies or organising major fundraising events. For example, I helped organize gala evenings in partnership with Cirque du Soleil for a prestigious Canadian foundation ($35M raised since 2013).

After having founded and managed a company in France, I returned to the non-profit sector to professionalize Swiss NGOs that have seen their annual budget triple in 2 years.

I keep a foot in Africa by being a Board Member of a Kenyan NGO, Trees for Kenya, implementing environmental conservation projects; and an Ambassador for the South African initiative NNI (No Name Initiative) promoting community dialogue.
