We have added 1,115 new grants to Fundin this week, taking the database to 2,828 open grants.
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 and how to apply.
Verified and unverified grants
You will 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.
Our AI is about 98% accurate, so a small number of details will be wrong 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.
