£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
Community organisations often know the need intimately but struggle to translate it into the structured evidence, outcomes and delivery detail a funder assesses.
One person, one queue and one monthly price
Matt asks focused questions, works only from real information and helps make the logic visible: need, activity, people, access, outcomes, learning and cost.
Requests you can put in the queue
- Develop a project from community feedback
- Explain need and local evidence
- Write an Awards for All or trust application
- Prepare monitoring and partner documents
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
Community organisations with genuine activity, an accountable lead and a repeat list of grants or supporting tasks.
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

How does the monthly agreement work?
