Bread and Water for Africa UK

Interim Trust Fundraising

 

The Brief:

Bread and Water for Africa UK is a small charity which works with local, grass-roots organisations in some of the world’s poorest countries to fight poverty, relieve hunger, and increase access to healthcare and education. They focus on long-term projects rather than temporary relief efforts. They have a small team in the UK – only 2 staff members – and didn’t have the capacity to spend time developing a case for support or proposals to individual funders across the projects they support.

Action Taken:

Money Tree Fundraising supported Bread and Water for Africa UK to develop a full case for support and two tailored ‘master’ proposals for one of their projects.

Difference Made:

With only two staff members they had the skills and the information but were lacking the time required to pull everything into a comprehensive and compelling written case. Both the full case for support and the proposals are now useful assets for the charity as they move forward with their fundraising.

Results:

With a recent £8,000 success from one of the 8 applications made during the time Money Tree Fundraising was working with them, they will now be able to re-start their food programme in Burundi.
