Fundraising strategy and good bid writing should be underpinned by a comprehensive knowledge about the needs of your client group, your local area and the strategic context in which your organisation works.  Increasingly funders require service user input in design and project development. Putting your proposed clients at the heart of your development process greatly enhances your chances of securing funding and the long term success of your project.

Think Funding can help you consult with your local community to help you gather their views or identify their precise needs. By using questionnaires, focus groups, planning for real exercises or face to face interviews, we can help shape your consultation process to give you usable data and commentary.

Think Funding can also work with your proposed client groups to help them become part of your project. Through training, development and support, we can help you build client skills so they can become a real asset for your project.
