Dunekamp GmbH

What Dunekamp GmbH does

Dunekamp GmbH is a privately held Swiss fundraising and organizational consulting agency (GmbH) founded in 2014 by Felizitas Dunekamp and headquartered at Niklaus-Konrad-Strasse 8, 4500 Solothurn. The firm serves nonprofit organizations, foundations, and humanitarian institutions in Switzerland across verticals including foundations, education, culture/museums, humanitarian/social services, and medical NGOs, with named clients such as Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz (Swiss Red Cross), Médecins sans Frontières Suisse, HSG Stiftung, Martin Stiftung, ALPS Alpines Museum, and Stiftung Aarhus. Its service portfolio is divided into Fundraising-Beratung (consulting) covering fundraising concept development, readiness assessment, major donor, public, foundation, capital campaign, and bequest fundraising; and Fundraising-Empowerment covering leader coaching, team development, and professional seminars delivered in partnership with ZHAW, FHNW, CEPS Basel, Rochester-Bern, and Swiss Fundraising.

The core technology is professional services delivery; there is no proprietary software, platform, or app. Revenue is generated through hourly consulting engagements (CHF 200 per consultation hour), bespoke project-based fees for capital campaigns and integrated fundraising programs, and flat-fee workshops and seminars. Distribution is direct, starting with a free initial consultation, followed by customized proposals and project-based execution. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging the founder's 20-year academic position at ZHAW, LinkedIn presence, industry seminars, and a curated partner ecosystem (Marketing Monkeys for online fundraising, DeinAdieu.ch for digital bequests, Fundraisio.ch for foundation outreach, and freelance designers and consultants).

The company is founder-owned with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds disclosed. The team consists of four members (Managing Director, two consultants, and administration), and operations are confined to the Swiss market, adhering to the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG). Revenue, headcount growth since founding, and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.

Others
