Funder research and bid writing in one continuous service.
Find realistic routes, test them properly and carry the strongest opportunities straight into project shaping and application work.
£1,195 per month · no VAT · rolling monthly
Unlimited suitable requests in one queue. One active request at a time. Personally delivered by Matt Simmonds.
The funding work is rarely one neat bid
A generic funder list leaves the difficult work with the client: checking eligibility, judging fit, choosing a project and translating it into a competitive application.
One person, one queue and one monthly price
Research is judged by whether it leads to a credible next action. Matt can then keep the context and work on the resulting brief instead of handing over a cold spreadsheet.
Requests you can put in the queue
- Research against an agreed brief
- Check eligibility and timing
- Recommend pursue, prepare or park
- Write the strongest ready opportunity
You explain what you need in ordinary language. Matt reviews it, sends only the relevant questions and confirms when the request is ready. Your chosen ready priority becomes active; after review and up to two reasonable revision rounds, the next ready request begins.
Who this is for
Organisations that need both new routes and the capacity to pursue them responsibly.
All applications, budgets, strategy, documents and conversations are confidential. Funding outcomes are never guaranteed and there is no success fee.
£1,195 rolling monthly
- Pay one month upfront
- Continue automatically month to month
- Cancel before the next payment
- Required onboarding included with no setup fee
- One 30-minute planning call each month
Questions about this monthly service
Do you guarantee that researched funders will award a grant?
No. Research improves fit and decision-making but cannot predict an independent funder’s decision. Public sources, known criteria and evidence are used; funding is never guaranteed.
What does unlimited mean?
You can add as many suitable fundraising requests as you need to one queue. Matt works on one ready priority at a time. It does not mean unlimited simultaneous work, unlimited hours or a guaranteed number of completed applications.
Who does the work?
Matt Simmonds personally reviews, researches, writes and delivers the work. The founding service is not handed to an anonymous pool of writers.
How does the monthly agreement work?
The service costs £1,195, paid upfront for one month at a time. It renews monthly and you can cancel before the next payment. There is no setup fee and no refund once a paid month has started.
