BidBuilders matches your charity, CIC or community group to the right small-grant funders and writes your first-draft application from a proper interview about your work — not a template. Every draft is personally reviewed by a CIC director who has won National Lottery, Sport England and council funding for his own organisation.
A structured intake asks the questions a good bid writer would ask — your beneficiaries, your evidence of need, your numbers, your track record. Funders can spot a generic AI application a mile off. Ours are built from your facts, and anything we don't know is flagged, never invented.
Awards for All, Sport England small grants, community foundations, council funds, supermarket schemes — we keep a working map of who funds organisations like yours, at the amount you need, in your area.
Every draft is reviewed and edited by Colin Ellis — chair of NET 360 CIC, which has won over £54,000 in grants including National Lottery, Sport England and North Tyneside Council funding. Nothing leaves BidBuilders unread.
Taking a percentage of grant money breaches the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's code, and funders hate it. You pay a flat monthly fee, you know exactly what it costs, and every awarded pound goes to your community.

If you deliver real work in your community but the funding applications keep slipping down the to-do list — or the last one took your whole weekend — BidBuilders is built for you. We work with sports clubs, youth projects, community hubs, wellbeing groups and everything in between.
You can — and funders are already tired of the results. Generic AI bids assert need instead of evidencing it, invent statistics, and read like everyone else's. Our drafting is different in three ways: it starts from a structured interview about your organisation, it never invents a fact (gaps are flagged for you to fill), and a human who has sat on both sides of grant funding reviews every word before you see it.
