Meet the founder
Adam Warriner
Founder
Adam spent 15+ years writing the bids, and deciding which ones to fund. He's secured £10 million+ as a charity leader and distributed millions more during his time leading the team at JD Foundation, building grant programmes that continue to support thousands of UK charities today.
He founded inked. to give charities access to the kind of expertise most can't afford to recruit. The team at inked. have a unique perspective made up of people who have sat on both sides of the table; bid writers and grant givers, and it really helps to have someone in your corner that knows how this works - someone who knows exactly what funders want to see.

What our clients say
Real charities. Real results.
Adam and the team have supported our CIC over the last year in a way that genuinely understands our cause. They took the time to understand our vision and have consistently adapted our applications to highlight the niche we fill and the gap we're addressing. Nothing is ever too much to ask, the contact is regular, the bids are consistent, and the income we've generated speaks for itself.
We've been working with inked. (formerly Foundable) for six months and from the start, Adam and the team made the effort to really understand our organisation. The funding they've helped us secure has been significant, directly enabling us to change the lives of young people in some of the most deprived areas of Birmingham. What stands out is their responsiveness. When we were invited to apply for a major local grant with a 36-hour deadline, they turned around a compelling, successful application without missing a beat. The support goes beyond bid writing, regular calls, strategic input, and a genuine sense that they're invested in what we're trying to do.
