Most not for profit organisations need to secure a mixture of restricted and unrestricted funding to achieve their objectives. Achieving this requires careful planning and normally entails the use of a mixture of fundraising techniques. These must be well thought out and planned to ensure that whatever strategy is developed will work in each organisation's specific circumstances. Your options include:
Whether you are a charity/CIO, social enterprise, sports club or a community group, securing funding can be a tricky process and knowing what is available even trickier. Through experience, we know that the best funding solutions for an organistion vary depending on its specific circumstances and needs.
If you have a charity number there are a variety of avenues open to source the funding you need but each still has unique pros and cons. If however, you are a social enterprise or unincorporated organisation like many sports clubs and residents associations your options are likely to be more limited.
By using Heaward Solutions as your specialist advisor you can benefit from our extensive experience and knowledge of the fundraising sector to build a fundraising strategy based on your specific situatiion and needs. By doing so you will be maximising your chance of securing the funding your organisation needs.

HeawardSports Ltd is a company I have worked with on several projects now and I have found that they...
Andrew taught me so much when it came to capital projects. I enjoyed working alongside him during the renovation of the Wallace Centre, which went on to be a hugely successful project. Highly recommended.
I would encourage any charity, CIC or any organisation whose mission is to make a difference to get in touch with Andrew. From accessing grant funding to crowdfunding or sponsorship, Andrew's experience will be invaluable to your organisation.
Heaward Solutions has provided bid writing support for two charities I've been involved with, both focused on developing young people, but of different sizes, staff teams, and priorities. Their support has enabled some crucial successes that we'll build upon to grow and develop our work. What they do well enables us to focus on the work we do well, genuine partnership working.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Andrew Heaward on two successful rounds of grant funding, and I am thrilled to offer my highest recommendation for him.
Andrew recently supported us with a large, multi-year bid for core funding for our charity. We have not worked with a bid writer before, and we were so glad we did, as thanks to Andrew's expert approach we seamlessly progressed to the stage 2 site visit, eventually securing over £120k.
Andrew has worked closely with the Senior Leaders of Burton YMCA in delivering a fundraising strategy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to any Business Leader or Charity Leader in developing and delivering a fundraising strategic programme that will help you and your organisation.
I've worked with Andrew on a recent fundraising project that has both generated significant income and raised awareness in our chosen market place. The resulting raised profile within our sector has meant that we are now experiencing far more inbound calls from the education sector with potential clients both wanting to talk to us and wanting to place orders. I can not praise Andrew and his team highly enough
Andrew was our fundraising consultant for a major capital project. His work was excellent throughout, starting with in-depth research of funding opportunities and then writing applications and other funding documents that really did the job. His knowledge was excellent, he was always available to give advice or make last-minute changes, and got a lot done in a quick time. Thoroughly recommended.
Andrew has been amazing, very professional, knowledgeable yet very realistic. He has provided 5* service in our opinion, and we are very looking forward to having Andrew support and guide us further in the coming months/years in this very exciting growth time of our organisation.
Their expertise in effective fundraising, strategy, monitoring and evaluation, management, and marketing has helped our charity maximise its impact and strengthen its ability to thrive. I am incredibly grateful for their knowledge, patience, and encouragement. I would highly recommend Heaward Solutions to any organisation seeking expert and compassionate support.
