For theatre companies and producers
Fundraising support for theatre companies with more than one story to tell.
Keep R&D, production, touring, participation, access, talent development and organisational funding work in one prioritised queue.
£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
Theatre bids must connect artistic purpose, people, place, partnerships, budgets and practical delivery. Those details often sit across creative, producing and participation teams.
One person, one queue and one monthly price
Matt brings the information together and writes for the actual funder while protecting the specificity and energy of the work.
Requests you can put in the queue
- Shape an R&D or production case
- Research touring and participation routes
- Draft arts and charitable applications
- Create a concise visual supporting document
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
Theatre companies, independent producers and venues with several live projects or funding routes.
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

Questions about this monthly service
Can Matt support both project and organisational bids?
Yes, where the route is suitable and the organisation can provide the required plans, budgets, governance and evidence. Complex work may be staged across several queued requests.
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.
