Charity & Funding Consultancy across Sussex
Sussex is a county of contrasts — coastal communities with significant deprivation alongside affluent inland towns, a thriving creative and social enterprise scene alongside long-established traditional charities. KA Consultancy works with organisations across East and West Sussex, from Brighton and Hove and Eastbourne through to Chichester, Hastings, Lewes and the rural Weald.
Our work is senior and hands-on: grant fundraising, business planning, cashflow modelling, community hub development, partnership design and funding readiness reviews.
Local context
Coastal Sussex contains some of the most disadvantaged communities in the South East. Inland Sussex sits closer to the affluence narrative. National funders read the county unevenly; local funders and place-based programmes — Sussex Community Foundation among them — tell a fuller story.
We help Sussex organisations build pipelines and proposals matched to the funders genuinely active in their area, with the evidence base to cut through national misconceptions.
