Service
Providing UK based charities with access to the support, funding and advice they need to thrive and achieve their charitable aims
What would it mean to your organisation and service users if you had the finances to resource your projects fully without having to worry about funding?
How much more lives could your charity impact if you had the income to extend the reach of your projects?
What would it mean to your community if you had the finance to create new projects and impact more lives?
We make these things a reality for our clients. By working with GoodtoGive you will develop a wider awareness of the grant funding process, and become more confident and better prepared for winning grants and maximising your organisations income.
Let us help you reach your charitable objectives

- Meet Revenue and Capital costs
As a company we cover all areas of funding support for charities and community organisations.
What is preventing your organisation from accessing grant funding?
- Is your organisation reluctant to apply for grant funding because of a lack of confidence and knowledge?
- Do you lack the capacity to produce good quality applications?
- Have you assumed that your organisation isn't eligible for grant funding?
- Have you invested a lot of time into developing and completing long applications and still been unsuccessful?
Applying for grant funding from Trusts, Foundations, Local Authorities and other Funding Bodies is usually time consuming, can be stressful and commands high levels of commitment.
In addition, many organisations do not have the correct policies in place; keep poor accounts; have little or no primary evidence of what they deliver (e.g. surveys, consultations, reports etc.) and aren’t ready to apply for funding.
We know how severe a lack of funding can be
We understand what it’s like to be faced with an increased need for your services, that you cannot meet due to financial limitations. In some cases, we know that your organisations very existence is at risk due to a lack of funding.
This is why we have developed a tailored service that manages the funding process from beginning to end, ensures that you are fit for funding and gives you the best possible chances of winning grants and tendering bids.
A strategic approach to getting your organisation funding ready
Built on over 25 years experience

We know what grant funders are looking for because our team have over 25 years experience securing funding from local authorities and grant funding bodies like the National Lottery, Lloyds Bank Foundation, National Lottery, MACC, Henry Smith Foundation, and many other sources.

We will use our expertise to identify the funders that your organisation will have the best possible chances of achieving grant funding success with. Our team will produce a funding plan, which will show funders’ criteria, application processes and deadlines.
Funding Research
We will explore sources of information that already exist, through the internet, reports, studies etc.
Funding bids and grant applications
Once we have collected all your information and gathered the most recent and appropriate secondary sources; we will take all this information and develop the best quality applications, on behalf of your organisation.
Tendering
We proactively position you to provide projects that local authorities are looking for.
Many organisations/companies may be reluctant to tender, as they feel the process is too long and time consuming, or they have been unsuccessful in the past. Many also believe that funders/buyers will have already chosen who they want to win contracts.
Yes!! The process of tendering is long, in-depth and can be complex. However our Head of Funding, Dominic Pinnock has been winning tenders for over a decade and his specialist support and guidance has resulted in organisations becoming better prepared to respond to tenders from funders/buyers, who have already established a need for their services.
Service Delivery Management (SDM)
Service Delivery Management is our personalised project management process that ensures that all parties are kept informed, deadlines are met and the project is kept on track.
As part of our SDM process you have access to an online portal where you can view key milestones, progress updates and documentation. It also gives you direct access to our team via a live chat facility.
A dedicated Service Delivery Manager will be your primary point of contact, and will ensure that you are kept informed throughout the process.
