FundRobin Grant Funding Partnership
Work with a dedicated grant management expert to identify the right opportunities, develop stronger applications and build a sustainable funding pipeline, supported by FundRobin’s intelligent funding platform.
Choose a consultation time in our booking calendar. Expert support is optional: FundRobin’s self-service software remains available independently.
Who it is for
For charities, nonprofits, social enterprises and other mission-led organisations seeking grant consultancy, funding strategy or additional application capacity.
You may have a small team balancing many responsibilities, an emerging funding pipeline or an experienced fundraiser who needs extra support. We start by understanding what would be useful to you.
What the partnership includes
Ongoing expert support tailored to your organisation’s funding priorities. We agree where to focus across five areas.
Good funding work starts with your mission.
We review your strategy, programmes, beneficiaries, reports, existing funding and previous applications. Conversations with your team help identify strengths, evidence gaps and capacity before application work begins.
A considered plan, rather than a longer list.
Explore relevant trusts, foundations, institutional donors and public grant programmes. Together, we assess eligibility and strategic fit, prioritise opportunities and plan realistic application timelines.
Turn your work into a clear, evidenced case.
Get agreed drafting and review support: interpret funder requirements, shape project narratives, identify missing evidence and review budgets with your finance lead. Your team reviews and approves the content.
Build continuity between funding deadlines.
Review upcoming opportunities, track deadlines and application progress, and identify follow-on funding. Learn from outcomes and adapt priorities as your organisation’s needs change.
Know what is happening, and what comes next.
Agree priorities, deliverables and a regular planning and review cadence. Receive progress updates and visibility into work completed and how your consultancy time is being used.
How it works
Start with a consultation about your organisation, current funding activity, challenges and goals. We discuss whether the partnership is a suitable fit.
Your expert reviews your strategy, reports, programmes and previous bids, alongside conversations with your team. This groundwork takes time; applications do not necessarily start in the first week.
Identify and prioritise suitable opportunities. Agree immediate priorities, upcoming deadlines and the activities that need support.
Your expert supports the agreed research, drafting and review work, using FundRobin to organise the process. You provide evidence, feedback and approval.
Regularly review opportunities, progress and application outcomes. Refine the plan as your funding needs evolve.
Expert-led. Technology-supported.
Your grant management expert brings judgement to funding choices, strategic guidance and agreed drafting and review work. People remain responsible for recommendations, application quality and professional oversight.
FundRobin supports Find → Know → Draft → Manage: opportunity discovery and Smart Matching, reusable context in Organisation Brain, AI-assisted proposal drafting, pipeline tracking and Robin assistance. AI outputs need human review.
What working together looks like
We agree deliverables and a regular review rhythm within your consultancy allocation. You can see activities completed, time used and upcoming priorities.
You provide accurate organisational information, evidence, programme and financial details, and timely feedback. We provide recommendations, research, agreed drafting and review support, and progress updates.
A complex application may need work beyond the ongoing allocation. We scope and agree additional work in advance. You retain final sign-off and submission unless separately agreed.
Bring professional support and your funding workflow together. Research, organisational context, drafts and application progress can support a shared plan rather than become disconnected tasks.
The aim is a more informed, consistent approach to funding, with your team involved throughout. If software alone meets your needs, you can use FundRobin independently.
An optional FundRobin service combining a dedicated grant management expert with our existing funding platform. It brings strategy, research, agreed application support and ongoing pipeline reviews into a collaborative relationship.
Charities, nonprofits, social enterprises and other mission-led organisations that need professional funding expertise or additional capacity. The initial consultation helps establish whether your priorities and needs are a suitable fit.
FundRobin provides tools for discovery, matching, reusable organisational knowledge, AI-assisted drafting and grant tracking. The partnership adds professional judgement and agreed hands-on support. You can continue using FundRobin independently; the service is optional.
Grant writing focuses on preparing an application. Grant consultancy also considers your funding priorities, eligibility, evidence and pipeline, helping you decide which opportunities to pursue before drafting begins. The partnership combines this strategic work with agreed grant writing support.
Yes. You can add external expertise and capacity while keeping control of your funding priorities and application approvals. This is a collaborative grant funding partnership: your team contributes organisational knowledge, reviews content and retains final sign-off.
Yes. Agreed work may include funding research, eligibility and fit reviews, a prioritised pipeline, application narratives, drafting, budget discussions with your finance lead and expert feedback before submission. Quality and relevance come before application volume.
We may review your strategy, programme information, annual reports, financial information, impact evidence and previous applications. We agree what is needed with you. Accurate information and timely feedback help the work progress.
Support is tailored to your organisation’s funding priorities within an agreed scope and consultancy allocation. Together, we set a work plan, deliverables and regular check-ins, with visibility into completed activities and time used.
Complex applications can need substantial work beyond the agreed ongoing allocation. Additional application development is scoped and agreed with you in advance. Support is not unlimited and there is no fixed number of applications included.
You retain final approval and submission responsibility unless a different arrangement is explicitly agreed. Your team supplies accurate programme and financial information and signs off application content. Submissions are not fully automated.
No. Funders make award decisions and grants are competitive. We help you make informed choices and develop well-prepared applications, but cannot guarantee an award.
Choose an available consultation time in our booking calendar. We will explore your priorities, the support you need and a suitable engagement scope before any work is agreed. Commercial arrangements are discussed in the consultation.
