Why we started
Thousands of grant programs are offered every year by foundations, community funds, local initiatives and corporate giving schemes. Yet many people who would qualify never apply. The opportunities are scattered, the forms are long, and every funder asks the same questions in a slightly different way.
Grant Finder replaces that maze with a single, carefully designed application. You describe yourself and your project once. Our review team then assesses it against the criteria of active programs and contacts the applicants who qualify or are selected.
What we believe
- Applying should be free. We never charge applicants, and we will never ask for card numbers, bank logins or a "processing fee". Anyone asking you to pay to receive a grant is not us.
- Every application deserves a fair read. Applications are reviewed by people, using published criteria, regardless of how polished the writing is.
- Your data is yours. We collect only what reviewers need, keep it secure, and never sell it.
- Honesty about outcomes. Funding is competitive. We'd rather be clear that not every applicant will be selected than make promises we can't keep.
Who we help
Our applicants include first-time founders, students funding a course, community groups planning a new program, researchers testing an idea, artists finishing a body of work, and farmers investing in their land. If you have a clear plan and a genuine need, we want to hear from you.
How we're funded
Grant Finder is supported by program partners and by advertising shown on our informational pages. Advertising never influences how applications are assessed, and ads are never placed inside the application form itself.
