Matthew Cock
Matthew offers trusts and foundations fundraising and consultancy for charities / non-profits, based on 8 years’ experience as CEO of an arts access organisation, and 28 years in the arts/museums sector.
While CEO of an arts access charity (2015-23), I made successful applications to Arts Council England (for National Portfolio Organisation status, and a National Lottery project grant), National Lottery Heritage Fund, and multiple grants from trusts and foundations.
I can provide either:

Short-term support to help create a case for support, and develop a trusts and foundations fundraising strategy.

-
Hands-on support for 6-12 months before you decide whether to commit to an in-house fundraiser.
