No matter how good and needed your front-line work, you can still be un-fundable.
Is your Board/Management Committee functioning well? Are you abiding by the requirements of your legal status? What does your entry on OSCR show (if you are registered)? Do you have a strategic plan? Do your Trustees understand what you do and how you fundraise?
If a funder were to probe these matters – and they often do – what would they find? Are you clear what your governing documents let you do? Have you got them available to you digitally?
