Every Managed customer is paired with a dedicated bid writing expert: a real person who gets to know your organisation, your funders, and what's worked for you before.
What they do
Across the month, your bid writing expert:
Runs your monthly strategy call: walks through your matched grants, sanity-checks your pipeline, and agrees what to draft next.
Drafts your applications: writes up to 3 a month for you, using Fundin's AI plus their own expertise, ready for you to review and approve. See Getting your application reviewed.
Gives ongoing ad hoc support: a real answer when a funder's guidance is unclear, a deadline's tight, or you just want a second opinion.
Examples of what they help with
Building out a project or programme: structuring a new idea, setting realistic outcomes, and costing a budget before drafting starts, so the project fits what funders want to see.
Making sense of monitoring and reporting: understanding what a funder expects once you've won, from the data you'll need to track to how to evidence outcomes in your reports.
Choosing between funders: weighing up which of several matched grants is worth pursuing, based on fit, competitiveness, and funder priorities.
Partnership and consortium bids: thinking through how to structure a joint application, split budgets, and present multiple delivery partners.
Funder relationships: advice on approaching a funder directly, following up after a decision, or handling a query from a programme officer.
Restricted vs unrestricted funding: working out what a grant will and won't cover, and how that fits your wider finances.
Anything you need really. We can support with anything that is grant funding related that our app can't help with directly. You'll have access to a team with decades of experience in the sector to solve any problem you have.
Working together
You can reach them directly by email or WhatsApp as well as your monthly strategy call.
Together you choose which grants to go after, and your bid writing expert takes it from there — drafting, checking, and bringing the strategic judgement of someone who's seen what wins.
