Choose well, then write well
Funding strategy and bid writing that stay connected.
Make better decisions about projects, funders and timing—then use the same person to turn those decisions into applications and supporting documents.
£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
Strategy becomes abstract when it is separated from the forms, budgets and evidence it must eventually survive. Writing becomes reactive when it is separated from longer-term choices.
One person, one queue and one monthly price
The work can move in stages: diagnose, prioritise, shape, write, review and learn. Your queue reflects the real sequence rather than treating every bid as an isolated event.
Requests you can put in the queue
- Review income and pipeline assumptions
- Select the most credible projects
- Strengthen outcomes and evidence
- Write the applications in priority order
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 clearer choices as well as extra writing capacity.
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

Questions about this monthly service
Can we start with strategy before adding applications?
Yes. Your first active request can be a focused strategy or pipeline task. The output should create clear decisions and next actions rather than an open-ended consultancy exercise.
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.
