Funding Footsteps

ABOUT US

Helping you change and improve lives

Our purpose is simple.  We are here to help charities and not-for-profit organisations change and improve lives.  Let us explain. Understanding your work is our first step.  We quickly become part of your work family, getting our feet under the table and really getting to the nitty gritty of your magnificent work, what inspires you and why. We then use our extensive knowledge of the Third Sector industry to source appropriate funding opportunities. And when identified, we put pen to paper and beautifully capture your work as part of the funding process. But that is only one service. From sourcing award opportunities to understanding the complexities of the Charity Commission we will help you get the recognition you deserve whilst helping your organisation to run smoothly and compliantly, we will provide an all round service to you.

Are we successful?

The world of securing funding is fiercely competitive.  Demand tends to outweigh supply.  But we are very proud of our success rate – on average, for every 3 funding applications we complete, 2 will be successful.   And since we opened our doors, we have acquired an amazing £500,000 in successful funding bids, with every penny going towards people in greatest need and helping change their lives.

How does it all work?

We pride ourselves on getting to know you and your team.  Getting close to your work, your community.  Being part of the family.   We will dedicate an agreed number of hours per month to you and your team, for a flat monthly fee plus a competitive commission paid on successful bids.  This will include the sourcing of funding opportunities, writing applications, measuring and reporting on progress when successful and simply general support and hand holding.  For services such as sourcing and writing award resumes, bookkeeping and securing charity status simply get in touch and we can have a chat around our pricing structure.

Lisa and the Funding Footsteps team are just immense, Lisa has looked out for the company since we met around a year ago. When Funding Footsteps wrote our entry for The Yorkshire Choice Awards, I wasn't expecting anything, anyway we won, Independent Company Of The Year. The nomination was so well written and it sounded so good. I cannot thank
