Helping you to secure funding

Regardless of the current economic situation, funding bodies (including Government) continue to award millions of pounds in financial support to organisations in the UK every year. These come in an increasingly varied number of forms: grants, loans, award schemes and more. Despite the Government and many other funding bodies increasingly exploring alternative, more sustainable forms of support, grants remain the most sought-after source of funding available to organisations. This is largely because grants have historically been interest-free and non-returnable. As a result, grant funding is sometimes incorrectly regarded as ‘free money’, however, they are generally awarded with strict terms and conditions attached. Very often failure to meet these conditions may result in the withdrawal of future funding, or even funding already awarded being made returnable.

Funding Sources

Grants are awarded by many different sources, including central, regional and local government, the European Commission, or other national and local bodies such as charitable trusts and community foundations. With many funding bodies scaling back their activities in the current economic climate, the competition for a share of the UK’s grant funding opportunities is becoming increasingly difficult. As a result, it is vital to research the available funding options and choose the right funding body and grant scheme before making an application. Making both your organisation and your project stand out from the crowd is essential to get the funding you need and that is where Fortior Project Consultancy can help you.
