Resources for Charities, CICs & Not-for-Profits
At Raise to Rise, we believe that every charity—no matter how small—should have access to expert fundraising support. But we also know that hiring consultants or investing in bespoke services isn’t always possible for organisations with limited resources. That’s why I’ve created these affordable, practical fundraising resources—to give small and new charities the tools they need to confidently approach fundraising in-house.
With multiple years of experience securing funding for charities of all sizes, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that organisations face when trying to write grant applications, attract corporate sponsorships, or build a sustainable fundraising strategy. These downloadable bundles are designed to make fundraising easier, providing step-by-step guidance, templates, and checklists to help you work efficiently and effectively.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to strengthen your existing efforts, these resources will help you take control of your fundraising journey and secure the funding you need to make a real impact
