History
editInternational Fundraising Consultancy was the brainchild of John Baguley,[5] Jasvir Kaur [6] and Chris Small, who wanted to use their fundraising and management skills to help civil society. It was registered as a company in 2000 with equal share ownership. Small has since left the International Fundraising Consultancy, leaving Baguley and Kaur as co-owners and directors.
Today, John Baguley remains as Chair of the Board. Bill King is now the Chief Executive Officer with Helen Ives-Rose the Finance and IT Director. Internationally IFC has expanded from the UK to open offices around the world including the US, Canada, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, India, Singapore, Peru, Kenya and Tanzania.

These take place in London,[7] Milan, Kiev, Geneva and Amsterdam.[8] IFC has also supported fundraising innovation, helping Barnet and Southgate College to open a centre dedicated to learners with learning difficulties and disabilities.[9]

In 2017 it began Fundraising TV on YouTube.[10][11][12] This is a series of interviews and talks on current fundraising issues in a magazine format.
