about us.

We see things differently.

BOR&BAR was founded to challenge the way organisations assess the value of grant programmes. Too many organisation dismiss grant programmes, seeing them as little more than a means through which to off-set their operational expenditure. When seen only through this prism, their appetite for diverting internal resources away from revenue generating assignments and into the pursuit of grant funding is understandably low.

Fundraising integrated within a wider strategy.

We believe that when integrated within an organisation’s wider strategy, the engagement with grant programmes can serve as a powerful lever for growth and achieving one’s objectives. In addition to off-setting R&D expenditure, we challenge our clients to reflect on how their engagement with grant programmes can be levered most effectively, including to:

• Cement partnerships with key customers around strategic issues, hereby embedding yourself in their long-term plans.

• Profile your organisation as a thought leader to the world via a unique and highly visible public platform.

• Work with public bodies and regulators to define the future standards and legislation that shape your market.

• Challenge your leadership teams to take on high risk, high reward R&D programmes and go beyond “business-as-usual”.

• Expose your organisation to the disruptive innovations long before they reach full maturity.

• Demonstrate real corporate social responsibility by collaborating in the search for solutions for today’s societal challenges.

This is our Mission.

We want to (re)establish grant programme engagement as a C-Suite priority. Our team of consultants are passionate about helping organisations - big and small, commercial and not-for-profit - to reconceptualise their engagement with grant programmes in order to fully unlock all its strategic benefits.
