Fundraising in the field · Sydney

We grow causes by growing people

Causes come to us when they need real conversations, not another ad impression. We build, train and run the teams that have them, face to face and in public. Then we back those people to go on and run their own.

Who we are

A sales business that measures itself in people

Progress Vault is an outsourced fundraising partner. Charities hand us a cause and we put a trained team in front of the public to represent it properly, from staffed booths in busy public spaces to venues and events. Every conversation is accountable.

The cause carries none of the risk. We fund the recruitment, the training and the management ourselves, and only invoice once a campaign has raised at least as much as it costs. Everyone who joins us is taught the craft from the ground up, and the ones who want more than a job find a route to running their own operation.

What we do

Three ways we put people in front of people

Fundraising for a charity partner
01

Charity fundraising

Regular-giving and awareness campaigns for not-for-profit partners. Trained representatives who can tell a cause's story accurately, answer hard questions and sign supporters who stay.

02

Booths, venues & events

Staffed stands in busy public spaces such as shopping centres, retail sites, community venues and events. We handle recruitment, training, compliance and reporting. You see the results.

Team building & development

Need more coverage? We build the team from scratch, develop leaders inside it, and scale the campaign across Sydney without diluting the standard.

Charities are the whole of our current work

Causes trust us with their name in public, and pay nothing until the campaign has already paid for itself. That is the standard everything else gets held to.

Development

You are the product we invest in hardest

Nobody arrives here knowing how to sell. What matters is whether you are coachable. From day one you are mentored one-to-one by someone who has done the job, and you progress on merit, not on how long you have been sitting in a chair.

01

Learn the craft

Knowing the cause inside out, conversation structure, objection handling, resilience. Practised daily, coached in the field.

02

Lead a team

Train others, run a crew, own the numbers. Leadership is taught here, not assumed.

03

Run your own

Learn the business behind the business, including clients, cashflow and recruitment, then open your own operation with our backing.

Success stories

The proof is in the people

“They learned our cause properly before anyone went out. That is rarer than it should be, and our donors noticed it.”

Fundraising Manager
National health charity

“Nobody handed me a script and walked away. Someone was out there with me every day until I could do it on my own.”

Got a cause, or ambition?

Causes get a team that represents them properly and carries the risk. People get a trade, a mentor and a route to running their own. Tell us which one you are.
