Request for Proposals: Fundraising Strategy and Bid Template Development
Parish of St Mary’s and St James, NW6 London
1. Introduction
The Parish of St Mary’s and St James, located in NW6, London, is seeking to appoint an experienced fundraising professional to develop a comprehensive fundraising strategy and bid-writing template to support essential large scale capital repair projects at both church buildings.
The appointed consultant will produce a clear, actionable, and sustainable fundraising plan that draws on multiple funding streams — including grants, partnerships, individual giving, digital fundraising, and community events — while ensuring both projects progress cohesively and without internal competition for resources.
2. Project Background
The parish comprises two Grade II listed churches, both of which are active places of worship and important community landmarks within West Hampstead and South Hampstead.
St Mary’s Church
St Mary’s is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1856-1862, and currently listed on the Historic England “At Risk” Register. The church requires urgent repair works to its spire, estimated at £1.5 million, alongside further essential maintenance identified in the quinquennial inspection. As a historic and much-loved building, St Mary’s preservation is a key priority for the parish and local community.
St James Church
Built in 1887–8 and designed by A.W. Blomfield, St James Church is also Grade II listed. The large red-brick structure, with steeply pitched tiled roofs and Bath stone dressings, is a notable local landmark and the only listed building within the South Hampstead Conservation Area. Camden Council’s Conservation Area Appraisal describes it as “a very important part of the quality and character of the area.”
St James is recognised nationally as a model of how historic churches can be adapted for sustainable use. Reopened in 2014 as The Sherriff Centre, it combines traditional worship with a thriving community and social enterprise hub — including a Post Office, soft play centre, café, retail space, and event venue.
St James now faces essential capital repairs to its roof, guttering, and masonry, as identified by its quinquennial inspection.
Fundraising Objective
Although St Mary’s and St James are distinct buildings, the parish seeks a single, unified fundraising strategy that will enable both capital projects to move forward in tandem, sharing messaging and timelines to avoid competition for funding opportunities.
3. Scope of Work
The consultant will produce a detailed and actionable fundraising strategy and a skeleton bid-writing template to support the parish in delivering its capital repair objectives.
A. Fundraising Strategy
The strategy should cover five core fundraising areas, each with specific recommendations, timelines, and success measures:
- Grant Applications to Trusts and Foundations
- Identification of suitable capital funders, including National Lottery Heritage programmes and major charitable trusts.
- Corporate Partnerships
- Identification of potential local business partners with corporate social responsibility programmes.
- Individual Giving
- Recommendations for regular giving schemes, major donor cultivation, and legacy giving programmes.
- Digital Fundraising
- Plans for social media campaigns, crowdfunding, and email marketing.
- Recommendations for digital platforms, messaging, and performance tracking.
- Community Fundraising Events
- Framework for community-focused events to engage local audiences and raise funds.
B. Skeleton Bid Template
An editable bid-writing template will be created to assist the parish with future applications. This will include:
- Core content sections (e.g., project summary, need, impact, budget, sustainability).
- Example text and guidance notes.
- Style and structure recommendations for clarity and professionalism.
4. Deliverables
- Comprehensive Fundraising Strategy Document covering both churches.
- Action Plan with timelines and priority recommendations.
- Skeleton Bid Template
5. Experience and Expertise
The appointed consultant should demonstrate:
- Proven success in fundraising for capital projects involving heritage buildings, ideally churches or places of worship.
- Experience in heritage and conservation funding, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
- Demonstrable ability to develop multi-strand fundraising strategies integrating grants, individuals, corporate, and community income.
- Excellent bid writing and stakeholder engagement skills.
6. Submission Requirements

- Experience and Suitability

- Examples of similar projects delivered.

About us
Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet – and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate – we litigate and campaign to fix it.
Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI.
Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We’ve filed the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision over the government’s failure to properly assess their environmental impact. We’ve forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.
We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech.
