Does this sound like you?
We already apply for grants occasionally, but the whole process is chaotic.
Our team is always short on labour, so we never have the time to develop processes or training that would increase efficiency and solve this labour shortage in the first place.
We miss deadlines and forget submission requirements. We can’t keep up with all the moving parts.
We always engage the same donors every year. Our donor base is not growing but instead slowly thinning out.
We don’t want to hire someone new just for grant writing because we don’t know if we could pay them in 12 months.
We fundraise the way we always do, but there must be a better way.
We are new to grant writing and don’t know where to start.
We are knowledgeable about our mission, but we are new to running an organization or writing grant applications.
We spend too much of your time fundraising, instead of implementing our programs. We need recurring, reliable, and larger funding.

Skills & Confidence
Rosaline and her team took us step by step, patiently explaining and guiding us. With each meeting the process becomes more and more comprehensive and our confidence as an organisation grows. UCC team is very professional, organised and very conscientious in their work. Rosaline is very easy to work with, pays attention to our needs as an organisation and this has strengthened the level of trust between our organisations. We are moving to phase B of our process and the UCC team has made us feel confident and deserving to be recognised and partnered with due to the work we do. I feel optimistic like we already won the race!

Skills & Confidence
All my experience with the UCC has been terrific, but if I have to choose only one thing I enjoy best about working with UCC… It’s that your way of mentoring helps me to grow not only with my project, but also as a changemaker.

Practical Results
We hired UCC to help us secure funding for hEr VOLUTION and have already worked with them to apply for a couple of major grants. We are very excited to be working with their teams because we see how professional and knowledgeable they all are when it comes to grant writing. We look forward to achieving our fundraising goals with the help of the UCC team and, with that, make an impact in the STEM industries. We recommend UCC to any organization that is looking to work with a dedicated team of grant writers and fundraisers to help them achieve their goals.
