Unlock grant success
In today’s competitive funding landscape, securing grants is more than just filling out forms — it’s about crafting a compelling story backed by solid evidence, aligned with the right funder. At IFCo, we specialise in helping organisations unlock the full potential of grant funding by supporting every step of the process, from strategic research to powerful bid writing.
The importance of intelligent grant research
The first step to a successful grant application is identifying the right opportunities. With thousands of grant makers operating across the UK and globally, knowing where to focus your efforts can be overwhelming. Our consultants work closely with you to:
- Understand your organisation’s mission, needs, and funding priorities
- Identify well-matched trusts, foundations, and statutory funders
- Create a tailored pipeline of opportunities aligned with your programmes and impact
By targeting funders whose goals genuinely align with your work, we increase your chances of success and save valuable time and resources.
Crafting compelling applications
Even the best-fit funder won’t award a grant without a strong application. That’s where our expertise in bid writing comes in. Whether you need support developing a single proposal or a full grant fundraising strategy, we help shape applications that:
- Highlight your organisation’s unique impact
- Clearly communicate your outcomes and theory of change
- Align with funder priorities and language
- Present budgets, evaluation plans, and sustainability strategies effectively
Our team ensures your bids not only meet all technical requirements, but also stand out for their clarity and emotional resonance.
Flexible support: From training to full-service delivery
No two organisations are alike, which is why our support is fully customisable. We offer:
- Training for your in-house team to build internal capacity and confidence
- Bid reviews and feedback to strengthen proposals before submission
- Full-service grant fundraising programmes managed by experienced consultants
Whether you're looking to upskill your staff or outsource your grant fundraising, we offer a flexible, expert-led solution that fits your organisation’s needs.

Grant funding remains one of the most cost-effective and sustainable ways to support charitable programmes — but only when approached strategically.
