Welcome to Tender Shift
Winning funding shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Yet for most for-purpose organisations, that's exactly what it feels like. Hours of work, stretched teams, tight deadlines and still no guarantee the bid will land.
Tender Shift changes that
We bring the strategy, structure and storytelling that helps evaluators see not just what you do but why your organisation is the right choice.
Value Shift carries a 66% tender win rate across competitive government, philanthropic and corporate funding rounds.
Stop writing tenders that get lost in the pack. Start putting forward bids with a real chance of success.

Why Value Shift?
We know the for-purpose sector. We know what funders want, what evaluators respond to and what separates a winning bid from one that just meets the brief.
Every tender is different. Every organisation has a unique story.
When the funding matters - and it always does - you want the right partner.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with all types of For-Purpose organisations?
Yes, we work across the full spectrum including charities, not-for-profits, social enterprises, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, disability service providers, community housing organisations and more.
What type of funding can you support us win?
Government contracts and grants, philanthropic foundations, corporate and community partnerships across sectors including health, education, housing, environment, disability community services, employment and many more.
How far in advance should we contact you?
For full tender writing, we recommend getting in touch as early as possible, ideally a few weeks before the submission deadline. For reviews, we generally need a minimum of three to five business days.
What if I'm not sure our organisation is ready to tender?
That's a great question and exactly the kind of conversation we're happy to have. Sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is help you assess readiness before you invest time and energy in a bid you're not positioned to win.
Ready to shift your results?
You've put in the hard work. Your organisation is doing important things. Let's make sure the way you tell your story is compelling enough to win the funding it deserves. Winning funding isn't luck, it's strategy, structure and the right expertise in your corner.
