Fundraising Innovation Agency
The old ways to fundraise and engage audiences don’t work.
We deliver new ideas that fly in a changing world.
At Flying Cars, we put your charity or cause-driven brand audiences first. Whether finding new audience perspectives or generating new audience-led ideas, we put your audiences at the heart of our work. Specialising in prototyping and iterating ideas with speed, we can help you shape big ideas that meet both your supporters’ desires and your organisational objectives. And we train you to be able to do the same. Innovation is the only way to thrive in an uncertain world. We’ll help you find the way.

“In a world where ice-cream is only chocolate, strawberry or vanilla, innovation is testing broccoli, carrot, and couscous until you get something awesome like pistachio flavour.”
