Project Packaging
Turn the rough idea into a project a funder can assess.
Matt shapes the broad idea into a coherent project proposition before anybody tries to force it into an application form.
Personally handled by Matt.
Working artist and fundraiser.
Co-director of an ACE-funded theatre company.
What you receive
- Clear project proposition
- Intended beneficiaries or audience
- Activity and delivery model
- Outcomes and partner roles
- Budget assumptions
- Evidence gaps
- Suitable funding routes
- Recommended next stage
Scope and responsibility: The deliverable is a reusable project package, not a completed funding application. Application writing can be quoted separately once the project is ready.
The project before the prose
Many bid-writing enquiries are really project-shaping enquiries. A clear package prevents weak assumptions being polished into a form too early.
Inspect the writing before you enquire
Read genuine redacted extracts before choosing human support. Identifying information is replaced with [redacted], while the underlying wording is retained.
- Project overview: A short community-photography overview connecting the activity, people and public exhibition.
- Why now: An earlier theatre application links changing conditions to specific development work.
- Outcomes and evaluation: The supplied reference separates artistic quality, participant experience and decisions about continuing.
- Environment: The supplied reference connects design and touring choices to information the company can record.
- Match funding: The supplied reference separates confirmed and expected income, in-kind value and a fallback plan.
Clear responsibilities
Matt checks current assistance rules before accepting writing work. You check every fact, figure, budget line and commitment before submitting. No funding result is guaranteed.
Send the fund, deadline and rough idea
Matt will assess the brief personally and confirm the scope and fixed price before work starts.
