About
Hi, I’m Neil, an experienced Senior Bid Writer and the founder of FundToday (all one word, no spaces!).
We help charities, CICs, and other not-for-profits secure the funding they need to grow, thrive, and make a real difference in their communities.
We support organisations across a wide range of funding streams, from grant applications for core costs and projects to large capital bids and public sector contracts. We work with a mix of regional and national funders, including the National Lottery, BBC Children in Need, Sport England, Postcode Lottery, The Clothworkers’ Foundation, Garfield Weston, and many more.
Whether you’re applying for your first grant or looking to scale up with larger or long-term bids, we’re here to help you build confidence, clarity, and momentum.
Pricing
Clear and Fair Costs
We like to keep things simple and transparent. Every organisation is different, so we don’t offer set packages or one-size-fits-all pricing. Instead, we’ll give you a clear quote based on what you actually need. There are no commissions, no hidden fees, and no surprises. Whether it’s a straightforward application or a more involved project, we’ll always talk things through with you at the start so you know exactly what to expect.
Simple Process
For bid writing, we normally take a 50% deposit before getting started, with the rest due once the final draft is finished. The fee covers any revisions needed along the way, and nothing gets submitted until you’ve had the chance to fully review and approve it. That way, you’re always in control and can feel confident at every stage.
