One challenge Chickenshed Theatre faced was how to develop a more robust and informed individual giving programme. When developing their strategic plan for their programme, they did not have the data to support their arguments. Our wealth intelligence provided the analysis and data insights needed to support their strategy's narrative. Chickenshed Theatre was able to segment their data into meaningful profiles and execute on a development plan that truly engages, cultivates and maximises the support of their audience.
3. Chickenshed is an inclusive
theatre company founded in
1974. Primarily based in a
purpose-built venue in North
London, Chickenshed creates
theatre for all ages and runs
successful outreach projects,
education courses and
membership programmes
throughout the year.
4. CHALLENGES
DIRECT ASKS TICKET SALES
Chickenshed has historically tended to shy
away from acting as a charity and soliciting
donations.
Adding members to your fundraising team
should be based on real insights into your
organisation’s opportunities and limitations.

SOLUTIONS
WE provides proof of concept for the
assumption that making direct asks for
donations is an effective way to augment the
revenue coming from performances and
events.
WealthEngine’s wealth intelligence provides
the analysis and data insights to support
Chickenshed’s strategy narrative to move
beyond the limitations of revenue generated
from legacy programming and, as a result,
make a strategic hire.
