Marco Greco (He/They), Fundraising Consultant & Founder

Charity consultant, Marco, has more than a decade of experience as a fundraiser, having raised millions of pounds for large and small UK charities, both as an in-house fundraiser and as a freelancer.

Marco is currently Director of Development at Just Like Us, the LGBT+ young people’s charity, where they have tripled the organisation’s income, expanded the development team, and diversified the charity’s fundraising streams.

Prior to this, Marco worked for Coram’s Fields, a youth charity, and the British Red Cross, one of the UK’s largest household charities. Whilst Marco started out in trust and statutory fundraising, their expertise has expanded to also encompass corporate partnerships, major donors, individual giving and event fundraising.

Fundraising is integral to how charities operate and achieve impact, and Marco is passionate about helping non-profit organisations to become financially sustainable in the long-term, meaning that they can focus on what they do best – making an impact when and where it matters.

Marco is a Clore Social Leadership Fellow and has a Masters Degree in Voluntary Sector Management from the Centre for Charity Effectiveness, Bayes Business School, with a specialism in charity fundraising and marketing.

Based in East London, outside of fundraising, Marco is an avid reader, enjoys getting out into nature, and is determined to find the capital’s best pain au chocolat.
