Writing Funding Bids
Published on: 7 June 2025
Information on how to write good funding bids and some of the pitfalls to avoid
Ealing and Hounslow CVS offers support to organisations looking for project funding. Funders have limited resources, and the competition is fierce.
Our advice, resources and training help you to ensure your bids meet all of the funders’ requirements and have every chance of success.
Questions to consider before applying for funding
- Does the funder fund the kind of project you are proposing?
- Is there information on their website about previous projects they have funded?
- Are they willing to have an initial telephone conversation about your project before you prepare the bid?
- Have you researched whether there are any similar projects in the locality that might limit funding potential? E.g. Awards For All will not offer funding if there is a similar project in the area they have funded via another organisation.
- Are you able to provide evidence that your project is needed?
