Find a freelance assessor
For all UK based funders including Trusts and Foundations, Community Foundations, government grantmakers, National Lottery funders and charitable organisations.
I can promote your freelance assessor roles free of charge to a highly targeted network of assessors.
How it works
Grantmakers often need extra assessment support, for example when programmes are oversubscribed or a team is stretched.
But it can be hard to find the right resource, quickly and easily. Almost every funder I've worked for has alluded to the challenge this presents.
I have been assessing grants since 2016 and have over a decade of experience in grantmaking in local government and the charity sector.
Alongside my assessment work, I have built a growing network of grant assessors who are ready and able to work. Additionally, I know there are many funders out there who would benefit from their skills.
That's why I've developed this service. I want to make it easier for assessors and funders to find each other.
All funders need to do is share a few details about your assessor role (it takes just a few minutes) and, after a light review, it’s shared with a unique and targeted network of experienced assessors across the UK including:
-
Assessors with direct experience of reviewing and scoring grant applications
-
Charity and voluntary sector professionals with many years’ experience
-
Freelancers who are ready and available to support
