UK Grant Application Writer Tool

The problem: small organisations lose grants they should win

Professional grant writers charge £500-2,000+ per application. A successful bid can unlock £10k-1M+. Most small charities and social enterprises cannot afford a grant writer but lose out on funding because their applications lack structure, evidence, or funder-specific language. The content is there, they just can't get it onto paper in the right format.

• Grant writers charge £500-2,000 per application, beyond most small charities
• Applications rejected for missing a theory of change, logic model, or risk register
• Wrong language for the funder. NLCF wants "people-led", UKRI wants "impact pathways"
• Budget that doesn't include match funding or show value for money clearly
