Who this is for

Small UK charities with nobody on trusts and grants

Registered with the Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI, running real services, with the CEO or fundraising manager finding funders in between everything else. Any cause, any region.

  • No trusts and grants person on the team
  • Funder research done by whoever has a spare evening
  • A long list of funders, and no time to check which ones fit
  • Funding ending soon, and a gap to fill

Probably not for you if

You already have a trusts fundraiser or consultant, you're a national charity with your own trusts team, or you're a grant-making trust yourself. We do work with consultants separately: mention it on the call.

How it works

One email a week. Ten minutes of your time.

  1. Monday, one email

    A handful of funders land in your inbox, each with the reason it fits your charity and the deadline. Not a database dump: every one has a direct connection to what you do.

  2. Ten minutes, not an afternoon

    You read the why behind each funder and tap approve or skip. That is the whole job.

  3. Drafts, in your voice

    Approved funders come back as application drafts written from your charity's own case for support.

  4. You submit, you stay in control

    Nothing goes anywhere without your approval. Your charity signs and submits every application.

Who's behind it

“Trying to find money.” It was the first thing they said.

I'm Cam. I'm not a fundraiser, and I'm not a grants expert. I build systems, and I've built them for a working charity, so I know how the week actually goes for a small team.
