Bid Writing & Funding Applications

To understand an organisation and their reasons for submitting an application, whether it be for a bid, grant or tender, it is vital to get a feeling for the community behind it. Bid writing, no matter how stringent the funder requirements, is about conveying a story.

While every funder has different priorities, the objective remains the same: to communicate a clear need, a credible response and a realistic pathway towards an impactful outcome.

Periplum’s role is to help organisations translate their experience, knowledge and ambitions, without impeding on their time, into structured applications.

Approach

Periplum’s approach begins with research and conversation. This may involve reviewing existing materials, speaking with stakeholders, understanding organisational priorities and identifying the information most relevant to a particular funding opportunity.

There’s a lot to learn in a short amount of time; trying to balance everyday operations with bid writing will lead to stalled or abandoned applications. A passionate, meticulous writer can clear up that time and head space.

Periplum is committed to socially impactful work. Whether at an early or advanced stage of development, collaborative relationships are the foundation for successful outcomes.
