We recognise that it is a difficult time for charities and not-for-profit organisations across the UK and Ireland. Rising operational costs, inflationary pressures, and an increasingly competitive grant environment mean that making careful decisions about your resources has never been more critical. At the same time, expanding your fixed headcount to bring in permanent staff can carry significant financial risk.
Our professional fundraising consultancy rates are designed to directly address these challenges - giving you flexible access to senior expertise precisely when you need it, without the long-term overheads of permanent salaries. Our fees are clear, proportionate to the work involved, and agreed with you entirely before work begins.
Whether you need affordable grant writing services for a specific funding application or wider strategic fundraising support, we provide a clear, fixed-fee outline of the proposed work. Our aim is to provide practical, experienced charity consultant costs that represent excellent value, helping you maximise your income generation while maintaining total control over your budgets.
Not every organisation needs ongoing fundraising support. Sometimes you simply need help identifying suitable funding opportunities, researching potential trust prospects, or securing an expert bid writing cost for a particular project.
Our short-term support starts from £500, giving charities and not-for-profits instant access to experienced grant writer fees and fundraising expertise without a long-term consultancy commitment.
Depending on your requirements, our project-based packages could include:
Each package is tailored to your objectives and the work involved, with the time required depending on the scope of the work. We’ll discuss your requirements, agree the scope, and confirm the fixed costs before proceeding.
For organisations looking for broader, long-term strategic support, we offer tailored fundraising consultancy on an ongoing or retainer basis. Our multi-disciplinary team provides expertise across a range of core areas, including:
The scope of work and fundraising consultancy fees will depend entirely on your organisation’s needs, objectives, and the level of support required. We’ll discuss these with you and agree on a clear, transparent proposal before any work begins.
We’ll explain the proposed work and associated professional fees before starting, ensuring you have predictable costs and full clarity over your budgets.
As an ethical consultancy led by a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE),we work strictly in accordance with global ethical standards that forbid percentage-based compensation. Commission structures can introduce structural conflicts of interest, shifting focus away from an organisation’s long-term mission and sustainable donor stewardship toward short-term financial gains.
By utilising a transparent, fixed-fee fundraising approach, we provide charities with complete clarity over their costs. This ensures our team remains entirely focused on advancing your strategic fundraising objectives, identifying the right funding opportunities, and building meaningful, lasting donor relationships - rather than earning a percentage of donations.
Whether you need a one-off grant application or an ongoing partnership to deliver a major capital campaign, we’ll recommend a proportionate fee structure that reflects your specific requirements and resources.
If you’re looking for a competitive bid writing cost for a specific funding application, or want to explore how to scale your organisation’s sustainable income generation, we’d be happy to help.

No, Raisor does not work on a percentage or contingent fee basis. As holders of the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) credential, we work strictly within global philanthropic standards, which explicitly forbid percentage compensation. Commission structures can create structural conflicts of interest, shifting focus away from an organisation's long-term mission and donor relationships toward immediate financial gains. Our fixed, upfront fees offer full cost predictability while keeping our entire team cleanly focused on your long-term campaign strategy, donor stewardship, and key objectives.
No. If you need help with a specific project or application, our project-based support offers a way to access fundraising expertise without committing to a long-term consultancy arrangement. We also offer wider support for organisations that need it.
The timeline depends on your goals. Targeted grant applications or specialised trust research packages can be finished in a few weeks. Larger strategic campaigns, such as six-figure grants or million-pound capital builds, typically involve an ongoing partnership over several months and beyond to achieve sustainable results.
