Why We Exist

Our Vision

To reimagine the nonprofit sector by building bold, lasting partnerships that create sustainable impact.

Meet our Founder, Davyn De Bruyn

What if your greatest fundraising success came not from what you get from donors, but from what you give to them? That question has shaped my entire approach to fundraising. With over 13 years of experience across ethical business, social enterprise, and nonprofit management, I’ve learned that generosity is reciprocal. When we give donors purpose, clarity, and connection, they give back with commitment, passion, and resources that fuel impact.

In my roles as General Manager of Parramatta Mission and Managing Director of Thread Harvest, I developed and executed strategies that grew profit-for-purpose organisations, exceeded fundraising targets, and secured significant partnerships with corporates, foundations, and donors. Today, through Be Bold Fundraising, I help nonprofits strengthen their major donor fundraising through practical, donor-centred strategies that deepen relationships, grow revenue, and create long-term sustainability. Is your organisation ready to unlock its full fundraising potential? Let’s connect over a coffee and start a bold new chapter together.

What We Stand For

We think beyond the expected, challenging convention and sparking ideas that move people and change how things are done.

We are brave in our fundraising and kind in our approach, challenging the status quo with heart, empathy, and purpose.

We blend strategy with action, ensuring every idea works in the real world, grounded in insight, data, and human connection.

We build for impact that lasts, strengthening systems, stories, and integrity over quick wins or easy gains.

We believe generosity transforms both giver and receiver, approaching every partnership as an act of shared purpose and hope.

The Problem we're Solving

Too many good causes are under-resourced, under-connected, and under-funded. Not because their work isn't worthy, but because fundraising is hard and most charities are trying to figure it out alone. Be Bold exists to change that. We partner with organisations to build the fundraising capacity, strategy, and donor relationships that create lasting impact, not just for one financial year, but for the long haul.

Our Purpose

We work with charities to close the gap between their mission and their funding. We help philanthropists and donors give with clarity and confidence. And we work on both sides of that relationship because the best outcomes happen when everyone is aligned around shared purpose.
