Hi, I’m Jess*

I’m an experienced fundraising
copywriter – and I’d love
to help you

Let’s connect

To you, a friend I haven’t met yet,

My name is Jess Flinn, and I’ve written for some of New Zealand’s (and Australia’s) most beloved charities – including animal welfare, cancer care, children’s health and education, homelessness and mental health services, universities, hospitals, development, the Arts, Christian organisations … and so much more!

Would you like some samples? Please email me at jessflinn01@gmail.com

Some of our most successful appeals have come from Jess’s pen.

How I can help you:

Deepen relationships with your donors

Let’s work together to lift your response rates, improve donor retention, reactivate lapsed donors, and upgrade your donors’ support:

  • Newsletters
  • Donor journeys
  • Gift in Will
  • Regular Giving
  • Acquisition
  • Reactivation
  • Event fundraising

Compelling and successful DM appeals

My first love (and particular specialty) is DM. I adore writing ‘tug-on-the-heartstring’ appeals that inspire donors to give (and give again)

  • Interviews
  • Multiple waves
  • Letters
  • Variables
  • Lifts
  • Reply Forms
  • Outer Envelopes
  • Donation receipts

Engaging digital fundraising

Of course, no fundraising campaign is complete without digital support. Let me know what you need – and I’d love to whip it up for you:

  • Emails
  • Social media
  • Landing pages
  • Website banners
Let’s chat!

Jess is an outstanding fundraising copywriter. Her writing is warm, donor-centric, and filled with gratitude. I highly recommend working with her!

About me

In 2012, I began working at The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ – and tumbled ‘head-over-heels’ in love with fundraising. It’s just wonderful being able to cheer on donors as they make the world a better place.

I then joined the Oxfam Aotearoa waka to manage their DM and Supporter Care, before heading over to the animal-filled world of SPCA.

Today, I have over 14 years experience in the charity sector, and I’m incredibly grateful to all my wonderful colleagues (and donors too) who taught me so much.

What my clients say:

“Jess is a fantastic listener, and her beautifully crafted appeals, impact reports and donor communications reflect genuine care for our supporters. We are incredibly grateful to work with her.“

*Sharni Weir, Philips Search and Rescue Trust

“Working with Jess has been an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, empathetic and strategic fundraising copywriter.“

*Lucy Green, CCS Disability Action

“Jess has an exceptional gift for crafting fundraising appeals, and her copy not only touches our supporters’ hearts, but drives results.“

*Kathy McKay, Sweet Louise
