Scout.
What if your best corporate prospects were already in your network?
Scout surfaces the warm connections you didn't know you had, and builds a clear pipeline your whole team can get behind. In partnership with Andy King and the team at Fireside Fundraising.
What Scout delivers
01
Warm connections you didn't know you had
Through network mapping across your team, trustees and senior leadership, Scout surfaces corporate connections that already exist in your network but haven't been captured or acted on. These aren't cold calls. They're warm introductions waiting to happen.
02
A clear pipeline, not a cluttered CRM
Scout gives you a researched, scored and prioritised list of your best prospects for the quarter ahead. You'll know exactly who to approach, why they're a good fit, and where your warmest routes in are — so you can focus on relationships, not research.
03
Your whole team, moving together
Corporate partnerships work best when the whole organisation is behind them. Scout helps your fundraising, comms and senior leadership team to build a shared understanding of what a great partner looks like, and a shared commitment to creating opportunities and crafting approaches.
Scout might be right if…
Untapped network — You have a sense that warm routes into companies exist somewhere in your organisation — through trustees, colleagues or senior leadership — but no structured way to find them.
New corporate programme — You've had some early corporate successes and know the appetite is there — you're ready to build on them
Team alignment — You want corporate partnerships to feel like a whole-organisation effort, not something the fundraising team are quietly trying to make happen on their own.
No clear pipeline — Your CRM is full of contacts you haven't looked at in months. Colleagues have ideas for great companies to approach — but you don't know which are dead ends.
The Scout journey
Together, we'll...
Define what good looks like
Fireside Fundraising brings your team together to agree what kind of corporate partner is genuinely worth pursuing.

Facilitated contact mapping surfaces connections through trustees, colleagues, senior leaders and wider organisational relationships.
Research and score
Ziptrix researches and scores the network, identifying the companies with the strongest combination of fit, evidence and route in.
Build the action plan
Fireside helps turn the prioritised list into a usable pipeline, with the team aligned around what happens next.
Choose the level of support
Three options adapted to the level of support you need.

You'll leave with a built pipeline, an aligned team, and the confidence to start converting.
1-year Support

Best for charities committed to corporate partnerships as a year-round priority, who want consistent pipeline activity and regular team accountability.

In partnership with Fireside Fundraising
Company intelligence meets expertise.
Scout exists because two things that charities need rarely come together in one place: the intelligence to know which corporate prospects are worth pursuing, and the expertise to help a whole team actually pursue them.
Ziptrix tracks how more than 20,000 UK companies give to and partner with charities. We use that intelligence to surface and score the warm connections that already exist inside your organisation against your mission, values and brief — identifying which opportunities are most worth your time.
Fireside Fundraising bring the corporate fundraising expertise. Andy King, founder, was named the most influential fundraiser in the UK by Fundraising Magazine in 2022. Fireside facilitates the workshops, guides the team alignment, and makes sure your organisation doesn't just have a list — it has a plan.
Who we've worked with
Between Ziptrix and Fireside Fundraising, we've worked with charities including UNICEF UK, Friends of the Earth, Action for Children, St John Ambulance, Plan International, the Natural History Museum and the Fairtrade Foundation.
Data protection and compliance is important to us
