SUMMARY:Proving Your Value to Funders - July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Proving Your Value to Funders\nWriting a funding bid isn’t just about filling in a form\, it’s about turning your funding application into a story that funders want to be a part of. \nIt’s about making a compelling case for support\, one that moves beyond good intentions to clearly showing why your work matters. It’s about showing that no-one else is already doing it for the community you support\, evidencing the need\, proving how and why it works\, the change it is already making for individuals and in relieving demands on wider local resources\, and the reasons it deserves backing for ongoing and increased impact. \nProving Your Value to Funders is a practical\, insight-driven course designed to help you transform your funding applications into powerful stories of change. \nThe course will help you: \n\nMove beyond telling a funder your project will make a difference and show them how and why it already does with real-world examples\nPresent your work as a compelling story of change addressing the challenges and issues the funder cares about\nBack up your ambition with meaningful facts\, figures\, lived experience and evidence of the benefits through case studies\nUsing data effectively (without overwhelming the reader)\nConnect emotionally while staying professional\nDemonstrate how your work reduces pressure on other services and the community\, how it prevents escalation and crisis and illustrates long-term change\nPosition your organisation as a credible\, investable partner\nPresent outcomes clearly\, concisely and confidently so they feel confident in you and what you’re telling them!\n\nWho this course is for \n\nCharity and community organisation leaders\nSocial enterprise founders close to launch or those contemplating a community project\nBid writers and fundraisers\nAnyone responsible for securing funding\n\nWhether you’re new to bid writing or looking to strengthen your success rate\, this course will help you present your project and organisation with clarity and credibility. \nBy the end of the course we hope that you won’t just be asking for funding\, you’ll be inviting funders to invest in meaningful\, measurable change.
