It’s not about writing strategy documents to gather dust, assess the viability of fundraising options, consider eligibility across funders, frame the “ask” and showcase the previous work to highlight its impact.
We tailor our approach to suit your charity/company's needs, challenges, context and budget. Working via a short term agreement, provide interim support or work for you on fixed period (medium-long term) retainer; we can build a fixed or flexible agreement.
