Special Olympics Australia appointed Tanya Hundloe / Social Money Solutions to help create a way forward in fundraising particularly in the corporate partnership space. Tanya was hands on and taught us a lot about how to plan, budget and structure our pitches. Her dedication to the organisation was outstanding and a great example of how consultants should engage. She had our back 24/7.
If you want excellence you cannot go past Tanya and Social Money Solutions.

I am a documentary producer , most recently producing the hit series for ABC Don’t Stop the Music. On this and on another feature documentary Tanya has helped our company develop a strategy for fund-raising – not just in terms of finding philanthropic sources but more importantly helping us to design impact strategies and hone in on what the core issues are. She is smart, efficient and thinks creatively outside the box to find solutions. Her considerable experience and vast network have been invaluable.
Celia Tait Executive Producer, Artemis Media
This is the second time I have worked with Social Money Solutions and both experiences have been outstanding.
Working with Social Money Solutions has been a real game changer for The Pyjama Foundation. I have always learnt so much from this process.
Tanya’s level of professionalism is to be commended, and her knowledge and experience of the not-for-profit sector is vast. The value I have gained from working with Tanya far exceeds the monetary contribution and I would highly recommend this service to others.

Financial Basics Foundation reaches thousands of teenagers with curriculum based financial literacy education. Its funding model relied on corporate partners. Despite having a extensive national reach with teachers/schools and teenage students it was not well known in the mass market and needed significant investment to upgrade its online teaching resources. Social Money Solutions was asked to assist in the development and acquisition of corporate partners to support the organisation’s projects and sustainability.
Our Approach
It was clear the organisation needed a transformational partnership that could work collaboratively to ensure the increase in reach and development of resources required for areas in dire need of support – financial literacy for young Australians. Social Money Solutions applied its corporate partnership planning process to develop a comprehensive and achievable acquisition plan. We reviewed and revalued the organisation’s proposition based on its assets, target markets, trusted positioned, connections and purpose. Social Money Solutions was retained to deliver on the acquisition plan over a period of 16 months.
The Outcome
Financial Basics Foundation secured a multi-year presenting rights sponsor which enabled the redevelopment of key infrastructure for service delivery and acquired two other sponsors resulting on a 216% increase in funding.
Helping companies invest their CSR dollars for maximum impact
The Challenge
Like most companies, the Milton office of RBS Morgans Limited is regularly approached by charities seeking philanthropic support. RBS Morgans sought advice from Social Money Solutions as to the most effective and impactful way they could invest their charity donations.
The Outcome
After meeting with staff and determining the budget, Social Money Solutions developed a plan for RBS Morgans that identified a local charity which would greatly benefit from an investment of that size. The charity partner was selected based on affinity with RBS Morgans’ staff and included opportunities for ongoing staff engagement. The donation has made a real and lasting difference to the charity, and the relationship with RBS Morgans has continued to mutual benefit.
“Thank you Social Money Solutions for your advice and expertise in helping us maximise the impact of our charity dollars. We wanted to be more strategic in our giving, and your guidance has enabled us to achieve that.”
