If your not-for-profit organisation is looking for new ways to raise funds, social investment via repayable finance is a useful but often overlooked alternative to grants and donations.
You may not even have to pay us for this service. The Reach Fund provides grants of up to £15,000 to spend with consultants such as Eastside People to help you gather the information needed by investors to make a funding decision.
Our specialist consultants work very closely with a number of the UK’s biggest social investors and are ready and able to help organisations who are considering applying for funds.
You could also receive funds that include blended finance options combining loan finance with a grant. This, added to the availability of flexible packages designed to suit the needs of the social sector, help recipients to offset any risks and make loan finance more affordable.
We can help you navigate the application process and provide support to build the portfolio of information and documentation such as financial forecasts, business plans and governance reports needed to gain investment approval.
Read how we helped Support When it Matters (SWIM) and Chanctonbury Leisure Centre acquire social investment funding.
Find out more about our services for Social Investment.
From the initial consultation through to the confirmation of support, the process was made incredibly smooth by Eastside People. The professional approach enabled us successfully apply for an Access Reach Grant.
