Who we can help
Local & National Government
We can help both local and national government to examine the non-profit ecosystems of specific places. By analysing the data, we build a rich, detailed, and nuanced picture of what's going on financially in any particular geographic area.
Grant Funders & Social Investors
We help grant funders and social investors in a variety of ways, from evaluation of grant programmes, to analysis of potential grantees, and due diligence ahead of funding. We also provide monitoring of grantees and investees after funding.
Charities & Community Groups
We help charities and community groups to better understand and act upon financial data from comparative organisations. After all, if you understand the numbers better, you can make your money go further.
Creative Businesses & Entrepreneurs
We have years of experience of working with creative folk and entrepreneurs. We help them to understand what others in their industry are doing, based on solid financial data. Helping them to run their businesses, rather than letting their businesses run them.
Testimonials
I've been fortunate enough to have had more than a glimpse of MyCake's data across the arts sector and am absolutely bowled over by the depth, interest and value of this work. It really informs an understanding of what is going on in my sector and across all the sectors. The mind boggles at everything that can be inferred from such thorough, accurate and easy-to-handle information. Incredible job.
Bill Bankes-JonesSarah and her team adapted to a frequently changing brief and delivered on what should have been impossible deadlines. They listened to our queries and explained concepts in an easily accessible way.
Gemma Rocyn JonesThe National Lottery Community Fund
Previously, we had only known the low hanging fruit. We can now find the hidden gems of social enterprise.
David BaxterWigan & Leigh Community
The data dashboard has provided for the first time a real insight into the scale of the local VCSE sector on a number of levels such as: how many and types of organisations are plotted across the city and key data on the financial health of them – how they are faring, sources of income and trends. This data is key for informing current and future strategies, as it provides a clear snapshot of the state of the sector, investment into the city of grant funds and gaps in coverage and services.
Angie WrightB Inspired
We engage with community businesses across the country to support those facing difficult times and to mitigate challenges. Having access to accurate, up-to-date information data helps us do this effectively, and it’s been a pleasure to collaborate with MyCake on producing our 2024 ‘Better form of business’ research report.
