The funding work is rarely one neat bid

Fragmented freelancers see only the application in front of them. They miss the decisions, evidence and organisational history that make later bids faster and stronger.

One person, one queue and one monthly price

The relationship compounds. Matt learns the facts and voice; your team keeps control of priorities and approval; every request lives in one confidential workspace.

Your secure client workspace

Your organisation gets a private login for requests, priorities, files, questionnaires, drafts and messages.

Requests you can put in the queue

  • Check a funder and route before investing time
  • Build an application plan
  • Write or rewrite priority answers
  • Prepare a final submission check

You explain what you need in ordinary language. Matt reviews it, sends only the relevant questions and confirms when it can begin. He starts the ready request you choose; after review and up to two reasonable revision rounds, the next ready request begins.

Questions about this monthly service

Can priorities change when a deadline moves?

Yes. Your authorised contact can change anything that has not started. If the current request cannot move because information is missing, Matt can start the next ready item.

What does unlimited mean?

You can add as many suitable fundraising requests as you need to one queue. Matt works on one request 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.
