Charity copywriting backed by first-hand experience
The printing deadline’s looming. The grant closing date has crept up. And you’re still trying to finalise those last-minute details for this weekend’s gala event.
As multi-hat-wearing fundraisers, we all know the persistent pit-in-the-stomach caused by competing priorities.
We’re told to focus on high-income strategies, but we also know that every program deserves attention. And in a small, stretched team with a tight budget, that often means working after hours. Or worse, submitting rushed, poorly written appeals that compromise credibility.
Writing services to help busy fundraisers avoid burnout
With six years’ professional fundraising experience, and a further nine years writing copy for charities across Australia, I provide charities and NFPs with copy and content that increases response rates and moves donors further up the giving pyramid.
From direct mail letter to grant applications and cases for support, everything I write is designed to fit seamlessly into an existing strategy saving fundraisers valuable time while helping them stay focussed on what matters most; building relationships and creating impact.
Fundraising services that won’t break the budget
With six years hands-on experience working across multiple departments in a busy charity, I understand the reality. Even when extra hands are needed, getting spending approved can be a challenge.
That’s why Words and the Bees offers tailored, cost-effective services that make sense for your size and budget. Whether you need help with a one-off project or ongoing support, our pricing is flexible to help you plan ahead and stay in control of your programs and your spending.

Working with Words and the Bees has significantly strengthened our grant funding efforts. They are professional, proactive, and truly collaborative. Their expertise in identifying opportunities and crafting compelling submissions is impressive.
Jo has been a valuable asset ensuring we could build relationships and seek vital funding from trusts and foundations. Jo’s vast experience and understanding of the grant process enabled her to commence work quickly with limited guidance and resources.
We had to work on a very quick turnaround for a Gifts in Wills campaign, but Jo was so professional & accommodating and I am truly impressed at the calibre of work she was able to turn out in such a short time. I look forward to working with her again in future.
Working with Jo on our Fundraising postal appeal twice has been a smooth experience She kindly fit us into her schedule to meet our tight deadlines. Jo’s skill at writing is excellent which has increased our donor database when numbers were dwindling in a tough climate.
