Grant Applications
More applications, to the right funders, each one in your own voice.
Most charities apply to the same few funders as everyone else, and the rest never hear from them. Writing takes days, so the list stays short. We solve this problem: the funders who fund work like yours, found and written to, each application ready for you to read and send.
- Which trusts fund our kind of work but have never heard of us?
- How many more applications could we send this year?
- What do the charities that won our lost bids have that we don't?
- Which rounds open in the next three months?
When a funder asks for more than one charity can give.
Some grants need a partner. When one does, the partner is found and approached alongside the application, so the bid goes in stronger.

Finds every funder open to you
From the Field Intelligence reading: the trusts, foundations and public funders with a round open to a charity like yours, the long tail as well as the famous names.
Writes the full application, budget included
Every application written, in your own voice.
We write the applications: the case, the answers to every question, each shaped to what that funder asks and what it has funded before. The long tail as well as the famous names, so your charity reaches funders others never write to.
You approve
You approve, and they go.
Nothing is sent, entered or promised until you have said yes. You read each application, change what you want, and send it in your name.
Follows every bid to its answer
Every deadline, reply and report kept in view until the funder decides.
Learns why the winners won
More funders, less blank page.
The applications you never had time to write get written. Your team spends its time on the funders and the relationships, not on the forms. More bids go out, and each one is stronger than the last.
Every loop leaves your fundraising stronger than it found it.
Your grants team, back with the funders.
The research sets the priorities, and your team picks the grants to pursue. Then the blank page goes: your team reads, corrects and signs off, and spends its time on what no application does alone, the call to the funder, the visit, the relationship that brings the next grant.
Questions charities ask
No. Each one is written from your own documents, in your own voice, and you read and change it before it goes.
Yes. Tell us which ones you keep, and the rest are written, so the work adds up rather than overlapping.
Yes. You set the limits: the size of grant, the kind of funder, the causes, and anyone you would rather not approach.
What the funders actually fund, not what they say.
Tell us the funding you need next year.
From there, the applications are planned around your deadlines and your voice.
