Grant strategy and consultancy

Funding works best with a plan behind it. We work alongside your team and trustees to decide where to focus, get your organisation ready for the funders that suit you, and keep your funding on track through the year.

What we can help with

  • Funding strategy and plans: which funders to approach, in what order and when.
  • Readiness reviews: your policies, budgets, accounts and evidence, checked against what funders commonly look for.
  • Trustee and board sessions on funding, so everyone shares the same priorities.
  • Ongoing support: regular sessions to review progress, new opportunities and next steps.

Who it's for

Charities, CICs and community groups facing a funding gap, relying too heavily on one funder, planning to grow, or simply wanting an experienced person to think funding through with.

A simple way to start

Not sure how much help you need? Our funding strategy call is two hours plus a written plan, for £250. Many organisations start there and decide afterwards.

How it works

  1. 1Tell us about your organisation and what you'd like help with.
  2. 2We have a short first conversation and agree what would be most useful.
  3. 3You get a clear written quote before anything starts.
  4. 4We get to work, with regular check ins so you always know where things stand.

How we use AI

Tools may help us gather background on funders and tidy our notes. The thinking, the advice and anything written for you come from a person, who reads and stands behind every word.

Questions

How is this different from the funding strategy call?
The call is a single two hour session with a written plan. Consultancy is for organisations that want more: deeper work on readiness, sessions with trustees, or someone to talk funding through with every month.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we give you a clear quote after a first conversation. Serin subscribers save 10%.
Do I need a Serin subscription?
No. If you have one, we'll use your profile to prepare, so we can start further along.
Can you promise we'll win funding?
No. Nobody can honestly promise that. We'll help you aim at the right funders and put forward the strongest case you can.
