Fit is assessed before ambition.
Every proposal begins with a clear question: is this call the right fit for your organisation? We assess eligibility, competitiveness, timing, capacity and partner logic before recommending a full application.
Experienced EU project support, from first idea to final report.
Grants Partner helps organisations find the right calls, prepare stronger proposals, coordinate partners, manage funded projects, and produce the outputs funders expect.
A focused project office for organisations that need grant capacity without building a full internal team.
Grants Partner is an independent EU funding and project development consultancy. We work with NGOs, public bodies, education providers, foundations, project partners and mission-led organisations that need practical help with funded work.
We are a compact team of project managers, proposal writers, academics, trainers, sector specialists and digital producers. Between us we have coordinated Erasmus+ partnerships, written funded Creative Europe proposals, managed NGO operations, run EU-wide networks, and produced the reports, toolkits and platforms funded projects depend on.
Most funded work needs more than one type of expertise. Each engagement is staffed by the specialists it requires and scoped to what is realistic. If a call is not worth pursuing, we tell you early.
The people behind the work
Project managers
Planning, partner coordination and delivery rhythm across funded projects.
Proposal writers
Structure, narrative and intervention logic that evaluators can follow.
Academics and researchers
Needs analysis, evidence and evaluation grounded in real research.
Trainers and facilitators
Learning design, workshops and capacity building people actually use.
Sector specialists
Field knowledge across education, youth, culture and civil society.
Digital and content producers
Websites, publications, visuals and dissemination materials.
Programmes we know from the inside
Erasmus+, Creative Europe, CERV and other centrally managed EU calls, alongside EU-wide networks and partnerships.
Work we have delivered
Funded proposals, coordinated partnerships, interim and final reports, project websites, toolkits and training programmes.
Four service families, one connected way of working.
The work is grouped around the decisions you actually face: where to apply, how to build a credible proposal, how to deliver and report a funded project, and how to keep your organisation growing between projects.
01 Funding strategy and opportunity fit For organisations that need a realistic route before investing time in a proposal. Learn more
What this covers
We help you understand which EU or international funding routes are worth pursuing, which calls fit your organisation, and where the effort is unlikely to be justified.
Typical outputs
- Call and programme shortlist
- Eligibility and fit assessment
- Funding route recommendation
- Early project concept notes
02 Proposal development and consortium building For teams that need a credible application, not just a written document. Learn more
What this covers
We turn an idea into a structured application with a clear intervention logic, relevant partners, realistic work packages, stronger narrative and coordinated inputs.
Typical outputs
- Proposal plan and writing support
- Needs analysis and project logic
- Work packages, activities and outputs
- Partner roles, responsibilities and input tracking
03 Project delivery, fund management and reporting For awarded projects that need rhythm, records, coordination and control. Learn more
What this covers
We help project teams keep delivery manageable after approval: partners, timelines, meetings, evidence, financial logic, reporting materials and close-out preparation.
Typical outputs
- Implementation and coordination systems
- Deliverable and evidence trackers
- Financial/admin documentation support
- Interim, final and close-out reporting support
04 Outputs, dissemination and organisational capacity For organisations that need useful project materials and stronger internal capacity. Learn more
What this covers
We support the materials and capacities projects often depend on: websites, reports, toolkits, training curricula, communication, dissemination, facilitation and NGO development.
Typical outputs
- Project websites, landing pages and digital outputs
- Reports, toolkits, curricula and learning materials
- Social media, newsletters, visuals and video
- Training, facilitation and NGO capacity support
Our approach to funded work rests on judgement, structure and evidence.
Projects need logic, not only activities.
Listing activities is straightforward. Strong projects also explain the need, the intended change, the rationale for the partnership, and how the outputs will be used after delivery.
Partnerships should carry real responsibility.
Consortium building is more than assembling partners. Each partner needs a defined role, genuine ownership, adequate capacity and reasons to stay engaged from proposal development through reporting.
Evidence is built during delivery.
Reporting should not become a last-minute reconstruction. We help teams put records, trackers and routines in place while the project is still running.
What makes our work different.
We do not overpromise. We help you understand fit, risk and effort before committing.
We know the full project cycle. Proposal writing, partner coordination, reporting, outputs and delivery are connected from the start.
We can produce the work. Reports, toolkits, curricula, websites, content, dissemination materials and evidence systems are part of the offer.
We use AI carefully. AI-assisted workflows can speed up research, drafting and documentation, but strategy, eligibility logic and final outputs stay human-led.
Questions we hear before most engagements.
Do you guarantee funding?
No. No credible partner can, and we would advise caution with anyone who claims otherwise. We improve the fit, quality and management of funding work, but evaluation and award decisions rest with the programme authorities. Where we believe a call is not worth your effort, we tell you before you invest in it.
Who will actually do the work?
A small team scoped to the engagement. Depending on what the work needs, that can be a project manager, a proposal writer, an academic, a trainer or a content producer. You will know who is involved and why.
Which programmes do you know best?
Erasmus+ is where we have the deepest hands-on experience. We also work on Creative Europe, CERV and other centrally managed EU calls, and we can assess fit for national and institutional funding routes.
How does an engagement usually start?
With a short exchange, usually by email. Tell us your organisation, the call or programme, your deadline and where you are stuck. We review the context, tell you honestly whether we can help, and propose a clearly scoped first step.
How is the work priced?
Scope and cost are agreed before work starts. Depending on the situation that can be a small fixed piece of work, support through a full proposal, or ongoing capacity during delivery.
Do you use AI in your work?
Yes, carefully. AI-assisted workflows speed up research, drafting and documentation, but strategy, eligibility logic and everything you receive is prepared and reviewed by people.
Tell us where you are. We will suggest the next useful step.
Share your organisation, programme or call, current stage, deadline and the kind of support you need. We will review the context and reply by email.
