Empowering Inclusive Funding

At Empower Diversity, we collaborate with funders and organizations to enhance the funding cycle. Our goal is to create a fair and effective process that reaches those often overlooked.

Who we Are

 Two Rooms, One Job

Funders sit in one room deciding who gets the money. Charities sit in another room working out how to ask for it. The same problems appear in both rooms: criteria that quietly exclude, evidence nobody collects, processes that reward polish over impact. We work in both rooms. That is the point. Fixing one side without the other fixes nothing.

 

Fairness on one side of the table fails without readiness on the other.

Our Services

Black Background

1

For Funders

We review how you fund: criteria, processes, data, decisions. Then we help you change what excludes.

Funding Equity MOT from £1,500. A fixed fee 2 week review of how fair and accessible your funding actually is. You get a clear report: what holds, what excludes, what to change first.

Programme Equality Impact Assessment from £2,500. A full EqIA of a funding programme, aligned with the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty where public money flows through your decisions.

Grantee Support Partnership from £1,200 a month. You fund it, your grantees use it. Clinics, assessments and bid readiness delivered directly to your portfolio.

Clinics £750 to £1,500. A single focused working session on one live problem: a programme design, a criteria review, an application process.

2

For Charities

We build your evidence, your equality case and your readiness to compete for funding.

Mapping of the Terrain from £1,500. A fixed fee review of where you stand: your evidence, your equality case, your readiness for the funding you want.

Equality Impact Assessment from £2,500. A full EqIA of your programme or delivery model. Compliance turned into design decisions, and evidence most competitors will not have.

Equity Sprint from £8,000. 12 to 16 weeks working alongside your team to build the equity foundations that funding increasingly demands: data, involvement, evidence, story.

Clinics from £750: 1 focused session, the fastest way to start.

For Employers

We also work with employers: recruitment reviews, workplace equity assessments, and training that changes practice rather than ticking boxes. 

Why Us

Writing on yellow post-it notes

A Named Method

See, Shape, Sustain. First understand the problem with evidence, then change the mechanics, then make it stick.

Both Sides of the Table

We are the only room where funder practice and charity readiness are the same conversation.

Fixed Fees

Every engagement has a price before it starts. No day rates that drift, no surprises.

Evidence Led

We work from your data and the sector's, never from assumption. If the evidence says we are wrong, we say so.
