Funding services

The goal of the CVS Core Services Team is to develop and strengthen the fundraising, organisational and project development skills of people working in the local voluntary and community sector.

We do this by offering organisations guidance on:

how to raise the money they need;
how to manage their resources well and get the most out of them ;
how to establish organisational structures and policies ;
how to influence the right people;
what their rights and responsibilities are;
and, how to plan and develop for the future.

We also speak out on issues affecting the funding of the sector.

Help finding potential funders

Dudley CVS Resource Room further provides a range of publications to assist your quest for funding, or alternatively, you can carry out an interactive search, using the Funderfinder, Trust Funding and Grantfinder facilities.

If you are unable to visit Dudley CVS itself, you can either complete and return a Funderfinder form [Word, 85KB] and email it to: core@dudleycvs.org.uk

Funding factsheets

We have a range of downloadable funding factsheets to help you with those difficult funding issues. If you need more support please contact us.

Making your funding sustainable

Is your organisation ‘fit’ for purpose, requiring structural development, forward strategy, management accountability or policies? We can advise and assist with building the structure, culture and future shape of your organisation and work.

Fundraising Strategy – help and advice towards a tailored strategy for your organisation, to help you prioritise your opportunities and raise the maximum funds possible with the resources available. A must for every voluntary organisation serious about fund raising.

Revenue Fund Raising – we work with dozens of organisations every year to advise and support them to raise funds for their projects and ongoing activities, covering sources such as charitable trusts, statutory funds, lottery grants, company support and individual giving.

Capital Appeals – our Core Service Officers have extensive experience of planning and running capital appeals.

Gift-Aid – are you making the most of Gift-Aid? We have information regarding planning and implementation of tax-efficient giving in voluntary organisations. Arguably the most cost effective ways to raise money – is your charity getting its share?
