Start from your current project stage.

We screen funding opportunities, match them to your organisation and project idea, and shortlist the realistic routes before your team invests time.

05. How we work

A clear process, scoped around your stage.

Every engagement starts by understanding your organisation, programme or call, deadline, partner structure, internal capacity, and the support you need. We then define the deliverables, timeline, responsibilities, and review process before work begins.

01

Understand the context

We review your organisation, funding route, current stage, deadlines, existing documents, and internal capacity.

02

Define the scope

We clarify what support is needed, what is excluded, what inputs are required, and what can realistically be delivered within the timeline.

03

Structure the work

We set up the proposal, project-management, reporting, or output-production workflow with responsibilities and checkpoints.

04

Deliver with documentation

We produce agreed materials, keep records, manage versions, and support review cycles with clear communication.

05

Close or continue

We either close the engagement with agreed deliverables or continue through implementation, reporting, outputs, or monthly support.

06. Who we support

Built for organisations and teams working with funded programmes.

01

NGOs, associations, and foundations

For organisations that need funding routes, proposal capacity, project coordination, reporting systems, or ongoing external grant support.

02

Municipalities and public bodies

For teams managing calls, partners, administrative obligations, project files, and cross-departmental coordination.

03

Universities, schools, and education providers

For project ideas, Erasmus+ and education proposals, project outputs, training materials, and reporting workflows.

04

Project coordinators and partners

For organisations already inside a consortium that need help with coordination, deliverables, communication, documentation, or reporting.

05

Private and mission-led organisations

Where EU or institutional funding routes are relevant and the organisation needs external capacity to assess, apply, or manage funded work.

07. Ongoing capacity

External grant and project capacity when your team is stretched.

01

Monthly retainers for NGOs

Recurring call screening, funding opportunity summaries, proposal calendar management, project coordination, and board or management briefing notes, as an external grant operations layer.

02

Interim and embedded support

An experienced specialist working inside your team for a defined period when you are overloaded, partner inputs are delayed, documentation is scattered, or a deadline is approaching.

03

Human-led, AI-assisted workflows

We use AI-assisted workflows where they improve consistency and speed. Human review stays central for strategy, eligibility, proposal logic, and final client-facing materials.

08. Common questions

Straight answers before you reach out.

Q

What does Grants Partner do?

We are an independent EU funding and project development consultancy. We help organisations find relevant calls, develop competitive proposals, manage awarded projects, handle financial administration and reporting, and produce the outputs funded projects require.

Q

Which EU programmes do you work with?

We support work connected to programmes such as Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Creative Europe, CERV, and Interreg, plus other EU and international routes, subject to official eligibility rules and call requirements.

Q

Do you guarantee funding?

No. We improve how applications are prepared and how projects are run, but funding decisions, eligibility, and approvals remain with the relevant programme authorities and evaluators.

Q

Can you write the whole proposal for us?

Yes. Proposal development takes an idea from concept to a submission-ready application, including the narrative, work plan, budget structure, and partner coordination, with drafts and review rounds agreed up front.

Q

Do you work with NGOs and small teams?

Yes. Alongside one-off engagements, monthly retainers and embedded support give NGOs and small teams ongoing grant capacity without building a full internal team.

Q

Are you affiliated with the EU?

No. Grants Partner is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with the European Commission or any EU institution.

Grants Partner is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with the European Commission or any EU institution. We do not guarantee funding decisions. Final eligibility, approval, and funding outcomes depend on official programme rules, call requirements, and evaluator decisions.
