FAQs
What types of organisations does Community Grants Studio work with?
We specialise in supporting Community Interest Companies, charities, grassroots groups and community-led initiatives that are making real impact. Whether you are launching your first project or scaling an existing programme, we help you secure the funding you need. Our approach is particularly suited to organisations that may not have the time, confidence or in-house expertise to navigate the funding landscape.
What makes Community Grants Studio different from other grant-writing services?
At Community Grants Studio our staff are trained and have lived experience of winning various grants and managing community projects, we have partnered with CIC tribe, the leading CIC grant-writing organisation that has helped more than 1,000 community groups secure funding. This means you benefit from best-practice methods, proven structures and funder-ready writing techniques. We also draw on lived experience as a CIC founder, giving us both empathy and deep understanding of the realities of running a community project. Our writing blends clear evidence, strong storytelling and a community-first approach.
What can I expect when working with Community Grants Studio?
You can expect a clear, structured and funder-ready application, supported by thoughtful project design and outcome planning. You will have a dedicated partner throughout your funding journey who ensures your community’s voice is central to the application. We guide you through each stage, help refine your project idea where needed and make the grant-writing process far less overwhelming. Our goal is not just securing one grant, but building a sustainable long-term funding pathway for your organisation.
Do you guarantee that my organisation will receive funding
No grant writer or consultancy can guarantee funding, because final decisions rest entirely with the funder. What we do guarantee is that your application will be written to a professional, funder-aligned standard, using the same proven CIC Tribe methodologies that have supported over 1,000 successful community applications. We ensure your proposal is clear, evidence-based and compelling, giving you the strongest possible chance of success.
