Funding Intelligence Layer
Move from directories to a funding system
78 grants and opportunities in the current funding search. Use one search surface to move between open grants, philanthropic funders, delivery organisations, and relationship tracking without starting again every time.
Workflow
Search live funding
Use grants first when you need open opportunities, deadlines, and application-ready pathways.
Workflow
Search philanthropic funders
Move from causes and places into foundations that already give in those areas.
Workflow
Search delivery organisations
Pressure-test who is already doing the work across charities and social enterprises before outreach.
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.
Corporate and philanthropic teams check place need and existing coverage before funding whoever shouts loudest.
