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.

The work happens in halls, kitchens and back rooms. The funding should follow it there.

Apply to join

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

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.

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

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

Pricing

Our fee scales in as your funding does.

We know the hardest grant to win is the first one, and that starting out you have nothing spare to gamble. So when you have nothing secured, you pay nothing. Our fee only begins as funding begins, on a sliding scale from 12.5% down to 5%, and never before the money has reached your account. If a decision takes six months, so does our invoice.

Funding secured under management

We track every dollar we secure for you as your funding secured under management, and we keep supporting it through reporting and renewals. The larger a grant, the lower our rate on it: 12.5% under $10,000, 10% to $50,000, 7.5% to $100,000, and 5% above that.

The money is always yours and always in your account. Under management means the funding we have secured and continue to support, never funds we hold. Our fee is invoiced to you once a grant is banked and paid from your unrestricted funds, never taken from the grant itself.

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

Reporting & accountability
Optional, fixed fee

  • 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.

Our guarantee

No funding means no invoice. Ever.

There is no cost to apply, no cost while you wait on a decision, and no cost if an application is unsuccessful. You will never receive an invoice for a grant we did not win. Not at the time, not later.

And if it turns out we are not the right fit for each other, everything we have made for you is yours to keep and use however you like.

Why EverGrant

Your success, tied to ours.

We start where you are

Nothing to pay while you have nothing secured. Our fee scales in only as funding arrives, so the risk of starting sits with us, not with you.

You stay in control

You approve every application before it's lodged. We never speak to funders in your name without you.

We stay with the funding

Every grant we secure joins your funding under management, and we keep supporting it through accountability reporting and the next renewal.

Built for Aotearoa & Australia

We know the local funders, their language, and exactly what they're looking to support.

Questions

The things charities ask us first.

What does it actually cost?
Nothing while you have no funding secured. Our fee scales in as grants are won, and is only ever invoiced once the money has landed in your account: 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, and this is exactly why we built it this way. We understand that securing funding at the beginning is the hardest part, so our fee scales in as your funding does. While you have nothing secured you pay nothing, and you only ever see an invoice once money is sitting in your account.
Do you work on commission?
Our fee depends entirely on whether we succeed, and it isn't payable until the funding has reached your account. Two details worth knowing: the invoice comes to you and is paid from your unrestricted funds, and we never take our fee out of the grant itself, because most funders explicitly forbid that.
What if we don't win anything?
Then there is no invoice. None at all, at any point. Our fee only ever applies to funding that actually reaches your account, so an unsuccessful application simply costs you nothing. You also keep everything we produced: your funding strategy, the funder shortlist with all our notes, and the full text of every application we drafted, to reuse or resubmit yourself.
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.
