The funding work is rarely one neat bid

A capacity gap is not solved by another planning meeting. The team needs someone to take an approved brief, ask the missing questions and produce the research or writing.

One person, one queue and one monthly price

Unlimited converts a changing list into finished outputs without adding payroll, management overhead or a long recruitment process.

Requests you can put in the queue

  • Take research off the director
  • Turn project notes into a case
  • Draft the next application
  • Prepare reports and partner material

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

Small leadership and delivery teams where fundraising repeatedly falls to someone whose main job is something else.

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

Does this replace an internal fundraiser?

It can cover a focused grant and bid-writing gap, but it does not replace every internal function. The organisation still needs someone to provide facts, manage relationships, make decisions and approve submissions.

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.
