BidBuilders is run by Colin Ellis — a real, named person you can look up, not a consultancy brand hiding a pool of freelancers. Here's who you'd be working with, and exactly how your application gets built.
I've volunteered with small associations, CICs and charities since 1990 — after a decade as a Royal Marine Commando — and along the way I've written several constitutions and felt first-hand the pressure of needing funding to survive. As a director of a small North Tyneside community interest company, I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant community work, and funding the organisation was eligible for, left on the table because the admin of applying was too heavy for a small team with no spare evenings.
Committees don't have the resources — the time or the knowledge — to be bid-writers. I built BidBuilders to take that weight off small organisations, so a good project isn't lost to a blank form.
Every bid is drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by me, line by line, before it reaches you — we say this openly because you'd rather hear it from us than wonder. The AI does the exhausting first pass: your answers turned into funder-shaped prose. The human pass is where the bid is actually won: checking the evidence of need reads true, the budget adds up, and every gap is flagged as [TO CONFIRM] — never invented. Nothing is sent straight from a machine, and nothing is made up.
You see a real, reviewed draft built from your real answers before you pay anything. If it isn't obviously better than what you'd have written yourself, you've lost nothing. After that it's the Charter place or the monthly plan — current prices are always on the homepage. Start the free trial →
