The consultant will be required to secure match funding of around 620,000 GBP as part of the application.In 2023, the Trust worked with fundraising consultancy, The Funding Centre, to create the fundraising plan, submitted as part of our development phase application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which we are now looking to implement.The workplan should consider but not be restricted to:- Creating a strong case for support for the project.- Reviewing and testing and adding to the existing prospect list of trusts and foundations.- Developing approach plans and expression of interest/enquiry letters to potential funders.- Preparing and submitting a number of detailed, full proposals of sufficient number and scale to enable the match funding target of c 620,000 GBP to be met in sufficient time to meet project needs.- Keeping meticulous records, building our database of supporters.
