Our Added Value
Our strength is in taking care of the complete application process to enhance your group or organisation's chances of success. The difference between a successful or rejected application does not just depend on the quality of the project itself but also lies in the quality of the written application. Your project must perfectly align with the objectives and requirements of the grant or proposal scheme.
Making a difference for organisations and individuals
One Purple Rose Fundraising client from Galway stated, 'Securing the seed funding for our project will make a huge difference to us as an organisation and to the community we serve'.
At Purple Rose Fundraising we approach fundraising with the SMART-IE principle. Keeping proposals and grant applications simple, informed, and concise to achieve results.
