Fundraising
Trusts and grants, major donors, corporate partnerships. The three income streams that reward expertise rather than volume.
There are more than 22,000 grant-making trusts in England and Wales. Perhaps forty are a genuine match for your work this year. The same logic holds for donors and for companies: the money is in the fit, not the volume.
Trusts & grants
Funder research, written applications and a managed pipeline, so trust income becomes predictable rather than occasional.
Major donors & philanthropy
Finding the handful of people already close to your cause, and building the cultivation, ask and stewardship that turn interest into a five-figure gift.
Corporate sponsorship
Partnerships built on what a company actually wants: brand, staff engagement, a story it can tell. Prospecting, proposal, pricing and account management.
How it works
We map your fit. What you do, who you serve, where you work and what you need, matched against grant-makers, against the donors already close to you, and against the companies with a reason to care.
We make the case. Applications, proposals and asks written to each funder’s actual priorities and deadlines, in your voice, with your evidence.
We keep the pipeline moving. Deadlines, reporting, renewals and stewardship, and the follow-up that quietly wins the second gift.
What you get back
A named list of funders and supporters who could realistically say yes, asks going out on schedule, and a fundraising rhythm that doesn’t collapse when the person doing it takes annual leave.
What I don’t do
I don’t work on individual giving or community fundraising — no direct mail, no regular giving programmes, no raffles, quiz nights or sponsored runs. Those are volume disciplines and need a different kind of resource. If that’s your gap, I’ll tell you straight and point you elsewhere.
