NEW Helping grant makers

Streamline the application process.

The grant management system that makes it easy to find, fund and monitor your programmes.

Overwhelmed with applications. Still funding the same few.

Every grant round brings more applications than you can properly review — and the process itself is expensive for everyone in it.

Overwhelmed with applications

More submissions than you can properly work through each round, many of them never eligible to begin with.

Funding the same organisations

No visibility into the wider landscape means you default to who you already know, not who’s the best fit.

Funding rounds cost the sector more

Charities spend hours per application, funders spend hours per review — most of that time re-doing work already done somewhere else.

Applicant drafting plus your review time

220 applicants chasing £250k spend 4,180 hours drafting (£104.5k of staff time). Add your 220 hours of review and the round costs the sector £110k — 44% of the money you are giving away. At a 23% success rate, 32% of the grant value is burned on bids that fail.
