Grants for Consultancy & Training @ Messrs G Owen & Co:

...........how could you get your consultancy services paid for

Fundraising Consultancy is a worthwhile ‘long term investment’, (rather than an ‘expense’), the benefits of which will repay itself many times over. For some charities, fundraising consultancy fees may initially appear to be out of the question. Often, simply insufficient funds to pay for expert consultancy advice is not available.

If you feel your group/organisation would benefit from the type of services/training/support we provide, but funds are genuinely not available, then it may worthwhile contacting one of the following:

Apply Yourselves is a Windows only software program that helps to write a grant application. The program is free and can be downloaded from:
Download the program to a convenient location, find the file using Windows Explorer or the tool of your choice and double-click on the file to run the installation of Apply Yourselves. For further information on how to install the program: To download a full version of the Tutorial in rich text format (*.rtf) (149 kB).

Budget Yourselves is a software program that helps a voluntary organisation or community group write a budget. It runs on Windows 95 or above. The program is free and can be downloaded from Download the program to a convenient location, find the file using Windows Explorer or the tool of your choice and double-click on the file to run the installation of Budget Yourselves. For further information on how to install the program

GIN update Save the file somewhere like Windows Desktop. To start the update, double click on the downloaded.

You will see a dialog box for the WinZip Self-Extractor. This contains the name of the folder where the updated files will be put. By default this is set to C:\FFUPDATS. WinZip [see below) will create this directory automatically if it is not present. You will also see that the WinZip Self-Extractor is set to overwrite files without prompting and, when done unzipping, to run another program.

The program that WinZip will run when it has unzipped the files is very similar to FunderFinder's ordinary update utility. It will examine your computer to see where you keep GIN and then update the relevant files.

It is strongly recommend that you do not change the default settings. Simply click on the top button, labelled 'Unzip' and let the update take its course.

It is sensible to run GIN after you have done the update and check the opening screen to confirm that you are using the latest version data.

Links | Downloads | Compression:

The size of some data files and programs are sometimes slightly too large, (which will inevitably slow down the download process). Similarly, where movies (.mov or .pps) or music in QuickTime Player or iTunes (.mp3 ) are shown, if you have a standard 56k service, (as opposed to BroadBand, ADSL, or ISDN), you may equally find that it will take a little longer to load. To reduce this, (where feasible), the larger data/programs have been compressed using either StuffIt or WinZip – free versions of which can be downloaded by clicking on the logos above and following the instructions on the respective web sites.

NOTE: Simply either click on the links or logos to either download or view the web site concerned. Alternatively, highlight/copy and paste the above hyperlink to the web address browser and click return. The link will either automatically download or take you straight to the relevant web page. Dependant upon the Server/ISP used it will take some little while to download owing to the size of the data file(s)/program(s).

SPONSORSHIP:

We need your help to keep the web site(s) @ Messrs G Owen & Co moving forward!

It takes a lot of time, commitment and money to continue to update this site alone with over 186+ web pages needed material FREE for the asking! This excludes the work of material to download. You can help in three simple and easy ways.

Firstly, become an annual sponsor of this site with a contribution of only £25.00 – please pay this before downloading ANY material. To fail to make payment deprives future development for Voluntary Groups and penalises small organisations/groups – please help us to help you!

Secondly, in addition, or alternative, you can sponsor a web page, (dedicated to your concern, with your logo depicted at the top left hand box, promoting your services or products – linked to a host of search engines and therefore locatable not just by people who specifically visit this site, but by users of the Internet as a whole.

Thirdly, please spread the word about this (and our other web sites), to every Organisation/Group staff person you have ever talked to as well as to other Voluntary Sector/non-for-profit bodies that need help!

In recognition of your direct kind support and to reciprocate the same, acknowledgement of this will be accorded in our extensive publicity material and in Press Releases, plus Web site(s), (of which we have no less than eight), and web pages, (of which there are over 186+ on this site alone), which would provide a excellent high profile and good customer relations for yourselves alone. Added to this will undoubtedly be the excellent publicity/public relations this would create for your body, coupled with the interest it would continue to create on the part of other sources/companies involved, which, in the past has precipitated business for companies who have supported us and would potentially continue to be of value in terms of future business.

It cannot be stressed enough that your kind contribution would not only be deeply appreciated but will go towards a very good and worthwhile cause - once again, PLEASE...PLEASE SUPPORT!! Just the help with the provision of the some or all of the sponsorship would make a significant difference and valued contribution long remembered - making this small contribution a longer term investment rather than an expense.

We can but once more only hope that you will feel able to help in some way in relation to the above in support of this invaluable work, (targeted at new, small, and emerging voluntary/charitable organisations/groups), if only as a goodwill/customer relations exercise. The added benefit to yourselves of this proposed work with the aid of the resources sought would provide advertising for yourselves as well, which would positively promote your business.
