Who we are
Said Co. is a face-to-face fundraising company built on a simple belief: how funds are raised matters just as much as what they fund.
We build and train teams who represent charities with integrity, skill, and respect - creating conversations that last, not transactions that disappear.
Founded by Stephen Lyell
I started Said Co. after years working on the ground in face-to-face fundraising - seeing both what works, and what quietly erodes trust.
Too often, fundraising is treated as a numbers game. I believe it’s a responsibility. The way a cause is represented shapes how people feel about giving long after the conversation ends.
Said Co. exists to raise the standard - through proper training, ethical leadership, and teams who take pride in doing this work well.
