Why institutions choose Hubbub
Ambitious targets. Limited time. Technology that holds you back.
Fundraising teams are being asked to reach more donors and raise more income, often without additional capacity, specialist expertise or the right tools. We give you the technology, structure and experienced support to move forward with confidence.
Expertise you can use
Work with people who understand annual giving because they have delivered campaigns from inside fundraising teams themselves. Giving days, telephone campaigns, crowdfunding, auctions and year-round programmes, with universities, colleges, schools and charities.
Technology built for fundraising
Purpose-built platforms designed around donor participation, campaign performance and long-term engagement, rather than general-purpose tools bent into shape.
Capacity when you need it
Add experienced strategic and delivery support without having to grow your permanent team. A named consultant and a dedicated platform team, from early planning through to campaign day.
A proven, lower-risk approach
Follow a clear methodology refined across more than 300 Giving Days, with visible milestones, dedicated support and evidence from institutions like yours.
Technology shaped by more than 300 Giving Days, and by the people who ran them, working as one to deliver a campaign your community will remember.
The people you would work with
Fundraisers supporting fundraisers
Your Hubbub team will not just show you how the technology works. We have planned campaigns, managed calling programmes and worked towards the same participation and income targets you are working towards now.

How we work together
The right level of support for your team
Use the technology on its own, or bring our team in as far as you need. We shape it around your goals, your experience and the capacity you actually have, and it can change between campaigns.
Platform only
Take the technology and run the campaign yourself. Standard set-up and configuration are included, and your team keeps full control of the build, the copy and the schedule.
Platform and a consultant
Add a named consultant alongside your team: strategic check-ins through the planning period, project management support, and a post-campaign review with the analysis behind it.
Platform, consultant and delivery
Bring us further in. Check-ins step up through the run-up and continue after the campaign so stewardship is a proper phase of work, with email management and donor video as options on top.
