Funding Application / Bid Review Service

Applications / bids for grant funding are submitted to potential funders in an increasingly competitive funding environment; demand for funds far outstrips supply. Regardless of the value of the work you propose for funding, your application is unlikely to succeed unless it is of very high quality and complies in all respects with the particular funder’s Guidance, Funding Criteria and Exclusions. A minor error, omission or misunderstanding of the potential funder's intentions can make the difference between success or failure.

The 'Performing Arts & Life Skills through Ensemble Training' course, run by Pro Corda Trust will take place early next year. Charity Fundraising has now been working with Pro Corda for just over nine months and has now raised more than £100,000. Our fundraising consultants have achieved a good ratio of fundraising costs to grant income. Given that many grant making trusts and foundations have a six month turnaround time, we expect the ratio to improve further over the next few months, as we receive further grants from funding applications drafted by our consultants. The long-term partnership between Charity Fundraising and Pro Corda is proving successful, and we continually strive to improve value and sustainability from our working relationship.
