What i do

I'll support you through every stage of the funding journey - getting ready, making your case, and managing what comes next.

Before: I help you get grant-ready: clear on your impact, your story, and the foundations funders need to see.During: We find the right funders for you, dig down to understand what they want, and write an application - telling your story in your voice - that stands out.After: I help you manage your grant, report with confidence, and plan what comes next.

How we can work together

Every organisation is different, so I offer a range of ways to work together. Whatever works for you, works for me:

  • Fundraising audit - an honest look at where you are and what you need

  • Grant-writing - you give me the info, and I write the funding application for you

  • Collaborative grant-writing - we write it together, I review and suggest edits, and you build skills along the way

  • Group training - for teams who want to grow their confidence and knowledge

  • 1-1 sessions - to focus on any sticky grant funding issues you're having

  • Writers' rooms - dedicated space to tackle the most challenging parts of your application, with support from me.

what they say

"You pitched it perfectly and fed into the general feeling of offering support, advice and nuggets of wisdom without it feeling too preachy or intimidating - meeting the client where they were at. Friendly, warm and relaxed. Its exactly the approach and atmosphere I'm looking to create with all our 'skill-sharers' and charity partners."
The Pearce Foundation

"Thank you Caz! Your support was and is stellar!"
Flourish Mentors

"It’s easy to understand the questions on a grant application form, but understanding what key information to include requires a skill we didn’t possess. Caz does, and her help was absolutely invaluable in getting us our first funding. We cannot thank her or recommend her enough."
Brighton Soup

"The session was incredibly well balanced, with a good mix of individual and group work, and the information was clearly presented and easy to understand."
