“Sue’s knowledge of trusts is truly encyclopaedic.” (Gill Henry, Grants Fundraiser, National Star College)
Welcome to trust-fundraising.co.uk and to the home page of Sue Crow, a Trusts and Statutory Fundraising Specialist.
Sue provides hands-on fundraising support to UK-based charities. She has over 20 years’ experience in the fundraising sector with a proven track record of securing funds from trusts and foundations, the Big Lottery (in its many incarnations) and UK government. She relies on careful, in-depth research and well-honed communication skills to give your charity the best possible chance at securing much-needed, and increasingly hard to come by, funds.
Sue offers the following services:
- Trust and Foundation appeal drafting
- Big Lottery and statutory application drafting
- Bespoke funding research tailored to your charity
- Trust fundraising audits
- Bespoke reports for donors
- Trust fundraising training and workshops
- Advice on UK funding
She also offers the E-Coaching Service which aims not only to develop new successful grant-seekers, but also to bring fresh ideas to more experienced fundraisers. Rather than simply reviewing and correcting applications, the email-based service encourages the fundraiser to approach their applications with a fresh mind, questioning each section of the document, considering the thought processes of the grant-maker and answering their questions before they arise. This new innovative service will improve charities’ in-house skills set in the most cost-effective manner and increase their chances of fundraising success.
