Securing EU funding is about much more than submitting an application. It requires a clear strategy, a compelling project narrative, and a partner who understands both your business and the funding landscape. At Civitta, we go beyond consultancy – we become your long-term strategic partner, guiding you through the full funding lifecycle.
Many organisations focus only on writing proposals, but our approach is end-to-end:
This means you’re not just “applying for a grant” — you’re securing a funding strategy for long-term growth.

Our clients value that we are interactive partners – we don’t just request documents, we co-create with you.
We believe funding success comes from active collaboration. We expect and encourage your involvement to ensure the proposal reflects your vision, aligns with your strategy, and sets you up for long-term impact.
