Charity Fundraising Ltd: Regeneration Funding.
Our fundraising consultants can advise on a wide range of finance issues in relation to regeneration projects of all sizes. We offer a range of services from business planning and fundraising strategies to individual bid writing and full fundraising campaign management.
Fundraising Strategy
For any major project it is essential to have a good quality fundraising strategy in place. Our consultants can work with you to produce an effective strategy setting out potential sources of income, possible partnerships, realistic timescales, task assignment and schedules as well as recommendations on long-term developments. A strategy produced in partnership with us can deliver an invaluable framework for your team to utilise and work to throughout the fundraising process for your project.
Bid Writing
If your team lacks the time or skills to work on major bids for regeneration funds we can help. Our team of consultants have a wide range of experience of producing high quality funding applications and supporting documents that can provide your project with the best chances of attracting the funding you require.
Campaign Management
We have a successful track record of working on a long-term basis with a number of clients to achieve substantial funding from a wide range of sources, including: Government, European, Trust / Foundation, Lottery, Corporate and other funds. Research undertaken on a daily basis along with access to a range of funding research subscription services allows us to find numerous funding streams that your team may not be aware of. We can work with you to build fundraising into your project schedule and take forward all aspects of research, production of supporting documents and drafting of bids.
