The problem

The funding is out there. Winning it shouldn't be so hard.

There are hundreds of funders across Australia and New Zealand, each with its own priorities, forms, deadlines and reporting. For a small team already stretched thin, keeping on top of it can feel like a second job.

We don't think good causes should miss out just because nobody had the time to find the right grant and put a strong application together before the round closed.

That's where we come in. Whether you're volunteer-run or well established, we take on the grant work so your team can stay focused on the people you're here for.

How it works

Four gentle steps, and you're in good hands.

01

A free, honest assessment

We review your organisation, your past grants and your plans, then tell you plainly what you're realistically placed to win. No cost, no obligation.

02

We match you to the right funders

We track the funders that fit your kaupapa and your region across New Zealand and Australia, and line up the rounds genuinely worth going for.

03

We write and submit

We draft strong, tailored applications and lodge them on time. You review and approve everything before it goes anywhere.

04

We report and follow up

Weekly updates on where things stand, accountability reports when grants land, and we chase every decision so nothing slips through the cracks.

What we do

Everything from first search to final report.

Fractional fundraising manager

A senior fundraiser on your team from half a day a week, without the cost of hiring one.

Grant assessment & strategy

An honest read on your eligibility, your track record, and where your best odds are.

Capability funding first

Where you qualify, we target the funds designed to pay for bringing in help like ours.

Funder matching, AU & NZ

The right grants for your cause and region, from foundations to gaming trusts to government.

Applications written & submitted

Tailored, compelling applications drafted for you and lodged on time, every round.

Weekly reporting

A clear weekly update: what's progressing, what's due, and what needs your call.

Accountability & follow-ups

We handle report-backs to funders and chase decisions so obligations are never missed.

Annual report for your stakeholders

Your yearly impact story written up properly, ready for funders, your board and your community.

Pricing

Your first grant can pay for us.

Several funders in Aotearoa run capability funds built for exactly this: bringing in outside expertise to strengthen your organisation. Often our first job together is winning one, so your fundraising support is funded from the start.

Why not just a commission?

Percentage-only fundraising sits awkwardly with funders and with sector ethics guidance here. We'd rather be straight with you and with them.

So you get a real person on your team for a known monthly cost, and everything we charge can be named openly in a budget.

All fees plus GST. Minimum six month term.

Questions

The things charities ask us first.

What does it actually cost?
Most charities take a fractional fundraising manager: a fixed monthly fee for anything from half a day a week upward, so you always know the number. One-off project work and reporting are quoted as flat fees. Everything is plus GST, and the first assessment costs nothing.
We can't afford anything until we have funding. Can you still help?
Often, yes, and it's the most common place we start. Several funders in Aotearoa run capability funds specifically for bringing in outside expertise, so our first job together can be winning one to cover your fundraising support. We'll tell you honestly at the assessment whether you're likely to qualify.
Do you work on commission?
Not as our main model. Percentage-only fundraising sits awkwardly with funders and with sector ethics guidance in New Zealand. If you'd like some of our fee tied to results we can add a modest success component, but it's invoiced to you and never taken out of a grant.
Are we eligible to work with you?
Most registered charities and not-for-profits across New Zealand and Australia are. The free assessment is exactly where we confirm it, and tell you honestly where your best opportunities lie.
Do you take over our funder relationships?
No. The relationship stays yours. We do the groundwork and drafting, you stay the face of your organisation, and you approve everything before it's sent.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within a week. We complete your assessment, then start lodging applications as suitable funding rounds open.
Is our information kept safe?
Yes. Your organisation's information is held securely and never shared with anyone outside the work we do for you.
