Workflow
Start with need, not supply
Check place-level funding gaps, disadvantage, and community-controlled presence before you prioritise a funder or an application.
What strong users do here
Community organisations search grants, then trace back to aligned foundations and relationship targets.
Foundations search charities and social enterprises by cause, geography, and community signals before opening a round.
