Grant funding is hard enough without your tools making it harder.
Most charities are managing their funding across a mix of tools, spreadsheets, email threads, shared drives and memory. They win a grant, deliver the project, and then spend three days before the reporting deadline trying to piece together what actually happened.
We built Fundin to change that. And today, we are taking the biggest step forward since we launched.
Introducing the Discover tier.
What is Discover?
It brings together three things we have been working on for a while, and we think they work better together than anything else in the sector right now.
Here is what is included.
Reporting
When you win a grant, the work does not stop at submission. Funders want to know how the money was spent, what changed, and whether it was worth it.
Until now, most charities were doing that reporting in Word documents, spreadsheets, or whatever format the funder asked for that particular year. There was no single place to keep it all, and every report felt like starting from scratch.
Reporting changes that.
Track your budget against actual spend. Upload photos, receipts and evidence as you go. Record outcomes and case studies. Add milestones with automatic reminders so your team gets a nudge before a deadline creeps up on them.
When it is time to report back, you export a branded PDF. Everything is already there. It takes minutes, not days.
We built it for the charities who told us the hardest part of grant funding was not winning, it was proving it mattered.
AI matching and eligibility
Finding the right grants to apply for has always been part skill, part luck, and part spending hours reading guidelines that were not written for you.
Our AI matching already does the heavy lifting of finding relevant opportunities. With Discover, we have gone further. You can now see how likely you are to be eligible before you invest time in an application, based on your organisation profile, your project, and what the funder is actually looking for.
We don’t just guess eligibility based on superficial text descriptions or generic “vibe matching.” Fundin cross-references your live profile against a funder’s hard, binary regulatory gates.
The system instantly checks real-world constraints like:
- Strict turnover caps and income thresholds
- Mandatory trustee counts
- Historical application blackout periods
Apply to the grants worth your time. Skip the ones that were never going to work.
Your Connected Bid Library
Every charity has a master project plan, a detailed budget, or a safeguarding policy buried somewhere in a shared drive. But when a grant deadline is looming, finding that one specific statistic or budget line item can take hours of frantic searching.
We are introducing your automated Bid Library.
You can upload your master project plans, annual budgets, and policy documents directly into Fundin. Our data engine automatically maps and indexes these files, breaking them down into searchable, context-aware “knowledge chunks.”
This fundamentally changes how you write bids:
- A Source of Truth, Not a Blank Page: Instead of guessing beneficiary counts or project milestones, Fundin allows your AI assistant to pull real figures straight from your own planning documents. It keeps your data accurate, consistent, and traceable across every single application.
- Query by Concept, Not Just Keyword: Because this uses advanced semantic search, you don’t need to remember the exact title of a file. You can simply ask the system to find details on your “safeguarding procedures,” “volunteer pathways,” or “sustainability plans,” and it will instantly extract the precise paragraph you need.
- Seamless Consistency: Your new campaigns, grant answers, and end-of-year reports are all grounded in the exact same underlying evidence base. You never have to reinvent the wheel or scramble for numbers again.
Powering Claude and ChatGPT
This is the one we are most excited about.
The best AI models in the world are getting remarkably good at research, analysis, planning and writing. But they have always had one problem: they know nothing about the grant funding sector. They do not know how funders think, what eligibility really means, or where to even look for opportunities.
Until now.
With Discover, you can connect your Fundin account directly to Claude or ChatGPT. That gives those tools access to your live grant data, your matched opportunities, your reporting records and your organisation profile.
What that means in practice is that you can open Claude and ask things like:
- “Every Monday send me a list of new grants that we are eligible for that have been updated over the last 7 days”
- “Find me 10 funders in Leeds that support Youth Work, have an average award over £10k and fund core costs”
- “Pull the exact, live application questions for the Trust XYZ grant and draft an application for me to review.”
Because Fundin holds the actual, un-hallucinated question schemas for UK funders, Claude becomes a context-aware writing terminal tailored exactly to your charity.
For more complex workflows, Claude Cowork lets you build multi-step automations. Connect Fundin to your email, spreadsheets, project management tools and more.
