Transforming funding for small charities
Used by people changing the world. Built by those who get it.
Raiser doesn’t just help you write better bids — it’s fundamentally re-designing the system of funding for small charities. We’re building a future where money moves faster, more fairly, and through fewer hoops — to help charities and funders raise their game, together.

Raise more funds with less effort
Most bid-writing tools only support applications to the 15% of funders with open calls.
Raiser helps you showcase your work and impact in ways that reach the other 85% — those who don’t use forms, but still want to fund great work.
Too many hats?
Raiser helps you save time with smart templates and reusable answers, so you can focus on the work that matters.
Overwhelmed and isolated?
You’re not alone. Get on-demand and live training when you need it most.
Blank page syndrome?
Stuck writing the same thing again? Raiser stores your best answers and helps you tailor them quickly.
Drowning in digital?
One place for everything: track deadlines, manage applications, and store your projects all in one tidy dashboard.
We’ve been in your shoes
“I’ve worked in charities my whole career, including 8 years as Chief Executive of a small mentoring charity. I know firsthand how overwhelming fundraising can be for small charities.
Raiser is the tool I spent almost 20 years hunting for, and couldn’t find. It’s specifically designed for the unique needs of small organisations with limited resources but unlimited passion. I hope you enjoy using it!”
— Luke Wilkinson, Founder

Why We Built Raiser
Charity is love in action. But the way it’s funded? That needs to change.
We believe in faster, fairer, more human funding — and that includes reaching the funders who don’t ask for forms but still want to make a difference.
