Bid-Writing

At Good Fundraising we have experience of writing fundraising applications for many different sectors and for six figure projects. Our specialism is in fundraising for the Cultural, Heritage and Museums’ sector but as a team we can draw on knowledge of writing bids for Addiction Charities, Learning Disability, charities supporting individuals who are neuro diverse, Churches and Faith Organisations, Hospices and Community Centers.

We work in a supportive way to strengthen your case for support, advising on project scoping, helping with community consultation, budget setting and advising on monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Many of our clients come to us for the larger bids, e.g. National Lottery Heritage and Community Fund applications, Arts Council, Sport England, Government Levelling up funding, Landfill Tax funding applications (Wren, Biffa, Veolia), Garfield Weston, BBC Children in Need, Henry Smith, Foyle Foundation and Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Other clients use as a trust overflow service to boost their in-house resource.

We did this for Forward Trust and delivered 24 days of work over a few months.

Catherine quickly stepped in when we were struggling with capacity on bid writing. She supported us to find new contacts and to write and send out lots of new applications. Her input was essential in keeping us on track during a challenging period of time. Thank you.
