Helping churches and charities raise finance for building projects and organisational growth
Bringing together fundraising expertise and debt finance to help churches and charities realise their ambitions. We help organisations develop funding strategies that combine grants, donations, fundraising and affordable borrowing.
Challenges churches and charities face
Hundreds of churches and charities are pursuing ambitious building projects and growth plans, yet many lack the knowledge, skills and capacity needed to raise the finance required. Identifying funding opportunities, developing compelling fundraising proposals and understanding affordable borrowing can be challenging, particularly when rising construction costs put additional pressure on budgets.
Common situations
Often, churches and charities have ambitious plans but struggle to identify how best to fund them. Grants and donations may leave a funding gap, while developing a successful fundraising strategy requires specialist knowledge and time.
Equally, organisations may be unsure whether borrowing could form part of their funding solution, how much they could afford or which lenders might support their project. There are often more funding options available than organisations realise.
What we offer
At Ricosta Capital, we bring together fundraising expertise and specialist finance advice to help churches and charities raise the finance they need. We develop compelling Cases for Support, realistic Fundraising Strategies and Debt Capacity Assessments, combining grants, donations and affordable borrowing into one coordinated funding plan.
We also help organisations prepare for lenders and identify appropriate funding opportunities, supporting the process through to completion.
