“Most charities I’ve worked with don’t lose grants because their work is weak. They lose them because nobody has the time to apply well. FundCore gives them that time back, and it asks the questions I would ask.”
David Lloyd, fundraising consultant for over twenty years. FundCore builds every case for support on his ten questions.
Questions
- Does it submit the application?
- No. UK trusts use portals, Word forms and email, so there is nothing to submit to automatically. FundCore answers each of the funder’s questions within their word limits, with a source under every figure. You send it, and FundCore tracks it through to the decision.
- What if we don’t have a case for support?
- Most charities this size don’t. FundCore drafts one from your website and your own documents, then takes you through the ten questions every funder asks.
- How does FundCore learn about our charity?
- Give it your website and it builds a profile for you to correct. Then upload the documents that know you best: your impact report, your strategy, your last two applications. Figures only ever come from your own records, never from the web.
- Is it one price?
- Yes. £500 a month, or £5,500 a year. No setup fee and no per-seat pricing. The one limit is four new applications a month, which roll over; reworking an application never counts. There is a 12-month minimum term.
- Who is this for?
- UK charities with roughly £500k–£5m in annual income, where trust fundraising isn’t anyone’s full-time job.
- What does onboarding involve?
- A call, then a working session to build your profile. Uploading your documents and a spreadsheet of past gifts takes minutes.
