The services you need to deliver successful bidding will depend on your organisation type and where you are in the income generation process. Bid consultancy helps organisations actively pursuing opportunities demonstrate their value to funders and procurement teams. Income generation support equips not-for-profits with the tools they need to get ready to bid for opportunities.
Bid consultancy
Bright Bids’ bid development and writing services are flexible and responsive to what your organisation needs and the scale and type of the opportunity. Helen can complete all the written responses within smaller bids or funding applications for you or join your in-house bid team to support the writing of a larger bid. If you can complete all the writing in-house but need reviewing resource, she can provide feedback that identifies any concerns and suggests opportunities for improving the quality of your bid.
Income generation support for not-for-profits
Successful grant-seeking is founded on a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the organisation’s strengths and capabilities, experience and expertise and how it delivers, or can deliver, services that achieve funders’ objectives. Services that will guide you to that understanding, and equip you with skills and resources needed to articulate it well, include:
• Strategic Assessments that draw on conservations with key individuals, including employees, board members and stakeholders, and reviews of internal and external policies and collateral to analyse the factors impacting on income generation. They identify strengths and providing detailed immediate and longer-term recommendations that will drive improvements.
• Facilitated Workshops that create tools that harness collective expertise to enhance fundraising and service delivery including:
• Theories of Change
• Development of new products, activities and services
• Monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
• Grantseeking support including recommendations re finding and applying for grants, pipeline development and guidance on creating and tailoring of content that forms the basis of applications and proposals.
