Funding HQ can help lift your fundraising capability to the next level.
We’re here to help in a range of sectors and communities; from art organisations, to social service providers, environmental groups, sports groups, and schools that require funding.
We know some groups now need to look at new ways and approaches to fundraising. Now more than ever it is important to be strategic with fundraising. This requires planning and diversification. That’s where Funding HQ can help. We believe those looking to raise between $30,000 and $2million will get the most from Funding HQ.
Funding HQ can help with a vast range of funding needs – both for one-off projects, to organisations needing ongoing fundraising support.
Funding HQ helps you to:
- Discover new funding opportunities that match your needs
- Build a compelling case for investment
- Develop a funding plan with a diverse range of funding sources
- Tailor applications to demonstrate alignment to a funder’s priorities and criteria
- Understand how to approach funders and make ‘the ask’
- Measure and report on the ‘impact’ of a funder’s contribution
- Look after funders and establish long-term partnerships
Funding HQ is your complete solution
Funding HQ is a self-directed online platform that gives you all the coaching, templates, tips, tools and resources you need to get a successful funding outcome. It guides you through the following essential steps to navigate today’s new funding environment.
The platform has three key modules.
- Building a compelling case for funding
- Creating your funding plan
- Designing your funder retention plan
- Build a compelling case for funding with the information that funders look for most. This resource will help you to effectively position your project or organisation to meet funder criteria and increase your chances of funding success.
- Create your own tailor-made fundraising plan which identifies funding opportunities across a broad range of sources and outlines the ‘who, what and when’ for your funding applications. Being organised is one of the keys to winning funding. Having a clear and strategic plan will help you increase your chances of getting more funding, more often.
- Create a plan to look after your funders effectively in order to retain and even grow their contributions over time
And this is only the start! Funding HQ will continue to release additional features and content. The fundraising landscape is ever changing, so we will be updating and adding material on funding opportunities constantly.
