How to write a funding bid

Identify possible partners

  • Consider the needs of your project and any gaps in your ability, such as capacity or expertise.
  • Identify partners to meet these gaps – define why they will be involved, what they will be committing to and how much funding they will bring to the project.
  • Explain how the partnership will be managed – consultation, partnership, governance, contract, reporting – monitoring and evaluation systems, meetings and so on.
