Meet Jose Gaign

I didn't start in a boardroom or a lecture hall. I started on doorsteps, in the rain, facing rejection after rejection. But I learned something that no textbook could teach me: fundraising is not about begging—it's about value exchange.

Over the years, I developed a unique approach that combined ethical persuasion, emotional intelligence, and tactical precision. This approach didn't just work—it broke records. I became one of the top-performing door-to-door fundraisers in the UK health charity sector, and my methods were recognised when I was awarded Salesperson of the Year at the European Marketing Convention.

But here's the thing: I realised that my success wasn't just about me. It was about a system, a methodology that could be taught, replicated, and scaled. That's when I founded Gaign Strategic Fundraising Ltd., a consultancy dedicated to helping small to mid-sized UK health charities raise more funds, ethically and effectively.

And now, with Gaign Skills, I'm taking everything I've learned—every script, every technique, every hard-won lesson—and packaging it into a structured training program. My goal is simple: to empower the next generation of fundraisers to be the best they can be, to build profitable careers, and to add real value to their nonprofits.
