A software platform designed to help the UK’s smallest charities secure funding from trusts and foundations has been unveiled.
Raiser is a tool that is aimed at helping small charities write stronger funding bids, demonstrate their impact and save valuable time. It has been created and developed by Buxton-based fundraiser and former small-charity CEO Luke Wilkinson with the support of co-founder James Poulter, an AI and innovation expert.
The tool helps small charities write stronger funding bids, demonstrate their impact and save valuable time.
Raiser is will shortly be available to any small registered charity (under £1 million income per year) across the UK. Charities are invited to join a ‘Waitlist‘ so that they can be notified as soon as the platform opens.
Raiser is a UK-built Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that helps small charities let their impact do the talking. It’s unclear from the Raiser website whether this is a free service or whether small charities will have to pay a fee to access it.
Wilkinson explains that, rather than simply speeding up grant applications, it enables them to feed in real stories and evidence of the difference they make so that funders can see and support their impact-making activity, without making them fill out endless forms.
By combining AI-driven impact storytelling with smart bid support, he added, “Raiser aims to become the go-to place for those serious about backing the smallest charities making the biggest difference”.
