Your blueprint for funding success
Grants Strategy and Governance Solution
We provide organisations with the systems, tools and frameworks to make grant funding predictable, auditable, and aligned with strategic objectives.
The competition is tough. But we are tougher.
With demand for grant funding continuing to surge, the competitive landscape has become fierce. Across many UK competitive schemes, overall success rates typically fall below 25–30%, with major research funders often reporting award rates in the 20–30% range. Surveys of UK charities show average success rates of approximately 35.6%, down from around 40% in recent years.
However, the data consistently demonstrates that strategy, preparation, and structured governance significantly improve outcomes.
If you want to outperform sector averages and secure significant funding, partner with us to implement a disciplined strategy, robust governance, and expert grant management designed to help you compete smarter and win more consistently.
Research confirms that strategy, preparation, and structured governance improve outcomes:
>25-35%
Applicants with refined strategies and established internal processes frequently achieve success rates of 25–35% or higher compared to first-time or poorly prepared applicants, who often fall within the 12–15% range.
3x higher
Organisations that apply industry best practices (e.g., targeted opportunity research, compliance discipline, and internal governance reviews) report achieving up to three times higher success rates than those using ad-hoc approaches.
