Brief:
As we look to the future, Bricks is commissioning the development of a three-year Fundraising Strategy, representing a period from 2025/26 – 2028/29 to secure our organisation. We have an outline fundraising plan for the period, with anticipated income growing 20% year on year in line with our organisational ambition, but we now need to evaluate our assumptions and build a robust roadmap for the period. We need to identify opportunities to realise both core and multi-year funding to secure our organisation, whilst also realising continued project investment. We would like a detailed analysis of our programme, assets, capacity and resource to understand opportunities to realise revenue income, as well as any future resource and organisational development required to secure investment.
To support the implementation of the developed 2025/26 – 2028/29 Fundraising Strategy, we also require immediate bid writing support to ensure we can continue momentum with our immediate fundraising plan with the benefit of critical input into our current fundraising bids. Bricks’ team represents a strong range of skills and experience to lead current fundraising, supported by Bricks’ Board and Income Generation subcommittee. We have a minimum of three defined small – mid-scale bids which we expect this consultancy period to support the development of; in line with the budget available, we are open to a variety of ways of this support being delivered.
