We have added 562 new grants to Fundin this week, taking the database to 1,768 open grants.
They came from a new process, so here is how it works and what it means for you.
How we found them
- We search the Charity Commission register for funders.
- AI finds the grants each funder has open right now.
- It pulls the details into Fundin: amounts, deadlines, eligibility, how to apply and application questions.
Verified and unverified grants
You will now see two types of grant on Fundin:
- Verified means our team has reviewed the grant.
- Unverified means AI has retrieved the grant and we are in the process of verifying it.
Why we have added them before verifying
Our AI is about 98% accurate, so a small number of details will be inaccurate until we have checked them. But there is a goldmine of funding here, and we do not want you to miss out while we work through it.
If an unverified grant looks like a fit, check the details on the funder’s website before you apply.
