SUPPORTERS, FUNDERS, AND SPONSORS

Fund the milestone that makes responsible regeneration possible.

Direct sponsorship, readiness purchase, and impact capital toward clearly bounded work, inspectable evidence, and the next accountable decision.

THE MANDATECapital with a defined job
01
Name the mandate

Define the place, building, portfolio question, or impact outcome the support is intended to advance.

02
Bound the milestone

Agree the specific readiness, evidence, or coordination work the contribution will pay for.

03
Inspect the evidence

Make the resulting output, responsibilities, and remaining uncertainty visible to the right decision-makers.

04
Take the next decision

Use what has been learned to stop, refine, commission, sponsor further work, or consider a separate capital route.

Route, terms, and decision rights stay explicit.

A DEFINED JOB FOR SUPPORT

Move from a broad intention to a decision-ready contribution.

Empty buildings rarely need undirected money. They need the right evidence, people, and responsibility to be assembled around a defined question. Grand Bequest helps make that job explicit before a route is chosen.

  1. 01

    Bound the milestone

    Agree the specific readiness, evidence, or coordination work the contribution will pay for.

EVIDENCE BEFORE ESCALATION

Fund what makes the next decision more responsible.

A useful contribution does not force every opportunity toward the same destination. It helps decision-makers see what is known, what remains uncertain, and what should happen next.

01Bounded readiness work

A named question, output, owner, and timeframe.

02Inspectable evidence

Useful information with uncertainty left visible.

03Accountable decision

Stop, refine, commission, support, or enter diligence.

THREE DISTINCT ROUTES

Keep sponsorship, service purchase, and project capital separate.

Each route has a different provider, purpose, evidence expectation, and relationship to financial return.

01SPONSORSHIP

Readiness sponsorship

Support a clearly named milestone without presenting the contribution as an investment.

BOUNDARYScope, attribution, governance, and reporting are agreed before work begins.
Who provides it
A corporate, philanthropic, or institutional sponsor.
What it pays for
An agreed evidence, engagement, or coordination milestone for a named building or bounded portfolio question.
Evidence or progress
An inspectable output, clearer responsibilities, and a recorded next decision.
Financial return
No financial return is offered.
What happens next
Review the evidence and decide whether any further support or route is appropriate.
02SERVICE PURCHASE

Readiness purchase

Commission a defined Grand Bequest readiness service for a specific opportunity.

BOUNDARYDeliverables, timing, price, and decision ownership sit in the service agreement.
Who provides it
An owner, public body, sponsor, funder, or delivery organisation acting as a buyer.
What it pays for
A named service such as Grand Grade, Kick Off, Investment Readiness, or GreenLit.
Evidence or progress
The contracted readiness output and the evidence defined in the service scope.
Financial return
This is a service purchase, not an investment.
What happens next
Use the output to decide whether the opportunity should progress, pause, or be reframed.
03PROJECT-SPECIFIC CAPITAL

Project capital

Consider capital only in relation to a sufficiently developed project proposition.

BOUNDARYNothing on this page is an offer; capital remains subject to terms, permissions, and diligence.
Who provides it
A funder or investor considering a specific building or project vehicle.
What it pays for
A project proposition defined after appropriate readiness work, governance, and commercial structuring.
Evidence or progress
Project information suitable for the relevant decision, subject to professional advice and diligence.
Financial return
Any return is project-specific and exists only under separately agreed terms.
What happens next
Proceed to the appropriate project diligence and accountable investment process.

CLEAR COMMERCIAL BOUNDARIES

Make the route clear before discussing the capital.

Donation, sponsorship, service purchase, and project investment are not interchangeable. We name the route first, then define the appropriate evidence, agreement, and decision process.

THE NEXT USEFUL MOVE

Put your impact mandate behind a defined milestone.

Start with the place, building, portfolio question, or outcome you want to advance. We will help identify the appropriate route and keep its boundaries explicit.
