DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

• You’re frustrated with the lack of feedback on your grant applications

• You’re struggling to make your applications stand out from the crowd

• You’re getting lots of rejections and wondering what you’re doing wrong

• You’re not sure if you’re including the right information or whether your applications are in the right format.

• You want your applications to be persuasive, powerful and ultimately, more successful!

Many Trusts and Foundations receive too many applications to be able to give individual feedback to the ones they turn down. So you’re left wondering why your application was unsuccessful and what you could do differently next time.

THE APPLICATION REVIEW

During an Application Review I’ll help you to understand how you can give your applications the best possible chance of success. I have over two decades' experience of fundraising and during that time I’ve written, and read, hundreds of grant applications.

I’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t!

 HOW IT WORKS:

After booking, I will send you a short questionnaire to complete and return to me along with your application. There’s no rush to send this to me, just as and when you’re ready.

Within 7 days you’ll receive:

1. A video walk-through of my feedback of your application including an analysis of any weak spots in your project planning, budgeting and writing.

2. Tracked changes on your document so you can easily see where to improve your writing.

3. A two page action plan with recommendations so that you can learn and improve your future applications.

You get my two decades’ worth of fundraising experience, for the fraction of the price of working with me 1-1 and we can make sure your application has the best chance of success.

THE INVESTMENT: £247

 HELLO

I’m Alicia

a fundraising consultant, juggling family life whilst helping charities write better, more successful applications.

Over the years I’ve written, and read, hundreds of grant applications. I’ve seen what works and importantly, what doesn’t! Some of the funders I have secured grants from include the City Bridge Trust, Morrisons Foundation, February Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, Henry Smith Charity, Reaching Communities and the Department of Health.

As a freelancer I found that the more organisations I worked with the more I got asked the same questions. How do we find the right trusts to apply to? How do we make our chances of success higher? How do we write really good applications that stands out from the crowd? So in 2019, I set up the Trust Fundraising Hub, a free Facebook community group which now has over 5,000 members all supporting each other and sharing advice*.
