How We Do It
Our tried and tested eight-stage framework ensures that your commitment supports your objectives, community priorities and makes a real impact.
Firstly, we work with you to establish if there are any particular challenges to address and how these can be overcome. We are flexible and able to adapt our service to meet your specific needs.
We then design a robust end-to-end process, including impact measurables to fully support the aims of the Fund. These are summarised in Progress Reports at agreed intervals.
Once agreed, we promote and launch the Fund, create an independent local panel, review and assess applications, ensure claim and reporting requirements are in place plus governance and due diligence.
We provide a full range of services to support individual or every stage of community funding and subsidy payment schemes.
Our expertise in creating and managing Community Benefit Funds and Subsidy Initiatives means we can support your Community Engagement objectives from the very beginning.
