Bid Writing
I can write applications, either for a specific funder or as a generic case for support that you can re-use.
Having spent four years working for a medical research charity, I am confident working with scientific and technical detail and translating it into compelling copy.
Mentoring
I am passionate about supporting and developing new fundraisers and can work with your existing team to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence.
Report Writing / grant management
I can manage restricted grants: staying on top of deadlines for reports, presenting your work in the best possible light and explaining achievements, challenges and lessons learned.
Relationship focus
I can develop cultivation plans for your key funders. Not only do these outline how to meet all deadlines for applications and reports, they also suggest ways to go above and beyond, delighting your funders and increasing your chances of securing further income.
Prospect Research and Portfolio Review
I can identify potential funders for your organisation and suggest priorities.
I will also be happy to review your current funding portfolio and donation history and make recommendations for growing and sustaining your income.
Training
I regularly deliver trusts and foundations training via Get Grants. I can provide bespoke training for your organisation, virtually or in person (depending on Covid-19 restrictions) on all facets of trust fundraising to meet your specific needs, at levels from beginner to experienced.
