Charity & Funding Consultancy in London
London's social sector is one of the largest and most competitive in the world. Funders are sophisticated, expectations are high and the bar for a credible proposal sits well above the national average. KA Consultancy works with London charities, CICs, social enterprises and purpose-led SMEs that want senior consultancy support without the cost or commitment of a permanent hire.
Our work spans grant fundraising, business planning, income diversification, organisational development and partnership design. Hands-on, structured and delivered directly by senior practitioners.
Local context
London funders — City Bridge Foundation, Trust for London, the Mayor's Office, major national trusts headquartered in the city — operate with their own rhythms, priorities and standards. We build pipelines and proposals that take those rhythms seriously.
Borough-level funding, place-based programmes and Greater London Authority routes add another layer. We help organisations navigate the full picture rather than chasing the loudest opportunities.
