As we near the end of a successful seven-year partnership with CFG (Charity Finance Group), we’re taking the opportunity to review and refine how AIM delivers financial support to members.
The collaboration with CFG provided great help to many AIM member organisations, but as the needs of our membership evolve, so must our approach.
What’s Changing?
Over the coming months, we’ll be refining our financial support approach to ensure it aligns with what members have told us they need in these challenging times. Whether it’s tax planning, strategies for recruiting trustees with financial expertise, risk management, or growth-focused advice, we want to build a service that supports as many of our members as possible.
How Can You Help?
We’ve listened closely to feedback from those who took up the CFG partnership, but there’s still an opportunity to help us shape this area of our support.
As ever, we would love to hear from you:
- What are your core financial support needs?
- What financial guidance have you found most useful in the past?
- Where have the gaps been in the current offering?
- What new support would help your organisation thrive?
Your input will directly influence the next phase of AIM’s approach to financial support.
Please email your comments on any or all of the above questions to [email protected].
What Happens Next?
The current AIM/CFG partnership runs to end September 2025 with any new approach starting in early October. Watch out for updates through the usual AIM channels.
Invitation to Tender
We have issued an Invitation to Tender for financial support for AIM members. We’re seeking consultants, consortia, or organisations that can provide finance support to AIM members. The closing date to make a submission is 12noon on Monday 9 June and you can find the full brief and application details at the link below.
