Lavina Huggett
Retention and Development Manager – Regular Giving, The Smith Family
“Clever Contacts is a great tele-fundraising partner to work with. They are professional, efficient and provide high quality results. Nothing is ever too difficult for Clever Contacts and their team are wonderfully supportive with our campaigns. They are an extension of our team, with their care and dedication for our supporters and they have consistently delivered outstanding results. I would highly recommend Clever Contacts for any not-for-profit organisation who want to grow their campaigns”
Jonathon Grapsas
Owner, Flat Earth Direct
“Clever Contacts are brilliant to work with. No job is too hard or out of their skill set. They recognise the most important part of their business is their phone agents and it’s easy to see what a difference this makes to results and the conversations they have with donors. Ultimately, their cost per acquisition on campaigns we’ve partnered on is some of the best I’ve seen. Working together, I couldn’t recommend another agency more.”
Amy Brown
Manager – Individual and Regular Giving (RSPCA NSW)
“We have been working with Clever Contacts for a few years in all areas of telephone fundraising. During this time, we have built a very close relationship built on trust and confidence. Over the last few years, Clever Contacts have delivered exceptional results, and continue to push themselves to do better and better. They have helped us grow our Regular Giving program, and have also helped us identify many bequest prospects. We often get positive feedback from our supporters about the manner and knowledge of the fundraisers on our campaigns. The service we receive from the accounts management team is wonderful – they’re always quick to get back to us, and often approach us with new ideas and recommendations. We don’t consider Clever Contacts as a supplier, but rather a partner and a friend.”
Julia Cameron
Fundraising Direct Marketing Manager, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation
Clever Contacts has been a key part of Peter Mac’s growth in regular giving via digital and TV advertising over the past 2 years. The team consistently performs above expectations, and their enthusiasm and passion for our cause means I have complete trust in the positive and fulfilling conversations they have with our prospective donors. It is always a pleasure to lead a Clever Contacts training and to see the team’s smiling faces across a video chat. Clever Contacts have also been proactive in providing new campaign strategies and ideas, and are always willing to test new approaches that we may come up with”.

Teneale Cameron
Manager, Bequests and In Memory, Cancer Council NSW
“Our bequest conversations are of the utmost importance and it’s why we trust Clever Contacts to be the voice on our behalf. Their specialised bequest team visit us from QLD for onsite training and ensure every fundraiser is genuinely an extension of our team. They’re very competitive on price and you can know it’s an honest agency who place the highest importance on warm, engaging calls. We know their career phone fundraisers personally and know they value our Bequest supporters and believe in our vision for a cancer-free future as much as we do”.
David Hillier
Fundraising Manager, The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation
“Partnering with a tele-fundraising group like Clever Contacts has been incredibly rewarding for our charity. We have been impressed with their friendly and focussed account team, open and transparent communication and dedication to ensuring our campaigns are effective.
We’re confident in their robust data privacy and security measures which should be a paramount necessity these days. Notification of potential issues and other call outcomes such as bequest leads are flagged and our programme requirements can be adjusted at any time to better suit our needs.
By meeting and getting to know their fundraising team and see first-hand their enthusiastic and warm team culture, it’s clearly evident the respect they hold for all donors. Clever Contacts’ dedicated team work hard to deliver exceptional fundraising results. I would recommend Clever Contacts without hesitation for tele-based fundraising campaigns”.
