HELLO

Hi, I’m Alicia

I’m guessing you might be here because you need some help raising money. I have over 20 years’ experience of fundraising and during that time I’ve written, and read, hundreds of grant applications. I’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t!

I don’t believe trust fundraising has to be complicated. It’s about creating the right project, crafting a compelling ask and presenting that information to the right funder, in the right format.

If you’re already fundraising from trusts and foundations but are feeling frustrated with your results, I can review your pipeline and applications, then create a strategy to help your grow your income.

Need some help writing applications? If you don’t have the resources to employ a permanent fundraiser or if you need interim support whilst you’re recruiting, I offer three levels of support to help you get more applications out the door.
