Note: though this is for a Dublin-based project we would consider anyone in the Ireland/UK market with the speciality described below.
An organisation I volunteer with, a non-profit company long registered as a charity in Ireland, is planning a fundraising drive to last several years. The goal is to raise €2.5M for a construction project which is vital to the long-term success of the organisation.

At this early stage we just need a high-level, well-recommended advisor in this narrow speciality so we can focus our efforts on following their expert advice: someone to provide long-term direction to our fundraising project, or at least to give us a comprehensive consultation at this critical, early planning stage.

We are looking for an expert consultant to advise us on charity fundraising in Ireland, including any help with:
- identifying a target market - whether to seek lots of donations from individuals, or focus on small number of larger contributors
- investigating grants available in Ireland - based on charitable efforts, tourism, etc...

- creating a fundraising plan - which we have had trouble designing by committee
