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 steps, and you're never out of control.

01

Apply to join

Tell us about your organisation through one short form. It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing.

02

We check you're a fit

We review your eligibility and funding history, then confirm whether we can genuinely help. If we can't, we'll say so plainly rather than take you on.

03

You approve the shortlist

We match you against every funder we track and come back with a shortlist worth pursuing. Nothing proceeds until you say yes to it.

04

We write, you approve, we submit

We draft each application and send it to you for final sign-off. Nothing is ever lodged in your name without your approval.

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

You only pay when you win.

Our fee is a share of the funding we actually secure for you, on a sliding scale from 12.5% down to 5%. The larger the grant, the lower our rate. Nothing to join, nothing to be assessed, and nothing owed if a grant is declined.

How the scale works

Under $10,000 we charge 12.5%. From $10,000 to $50,000 it's 10%. From $50,000 to $100,000 it's 7.5%. Above $100,000 it's 5%.

Our fee is invoiced to you and paid from your own unrestricted funds. We never take it out of a grant, because most funders rightly forbid that.

All fees plus GST. No lock-in, leave any time.

Reporting & accountability
Optional, fixed fee

Funder report-backs, board reporting and your annual report. This is what keeps you fundable next year, and it's often an eligible cost in itself.

  • Accountability reports to funders
  • Board and annual reporting
  • Impact evidence for future asks
Quoted per engagement

Not every organisation is a fit, and we'd rather tell you that at the start than take you on and waste your time. If we don't think we can win you funding, we'll say so.

Questions

The things charities ask us first.

What does it actually cost?
Nothing to join and nothing to be assessed. After that we charge a success fee only on funding we actually secure: 12.5% under $10,000, 10% from $10,000 to $50,000, 7.5% from $50,000 to $100,000, and 5% above $100,000. All plus GST. Reporting work is quoted separately as a fixed fee.
We can't afford anything until we have funding. Can you still help?
Yes. Applying and being assessed costs nothing, and you owe us nothing unless we win you funding. Several funders also run capability funds designed to strengthen organisations like yours, and those are often a good first target.
Do you work on commission?
Yes, that's our main model, and it means our incentives match yours. One important detail: our fee is invoiced to you and paid from your unrestricted funds. We never take it from a grant, because most funders explicitly forbid a success fee being paid out of grant money.
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.
