It has its own charity funders but it also uses its 100s of Funding Finder links to connect you to online charity funding lists and other free charitable grants directories in the UK and globally. Updated every week, you'll find the latest charity grant funding using the Recent Additions search. Or use Help Finder to find companies that make donations, plus lots more - quick, simple and very effective.
Find Funding, Free Help & Resources - Everything Is Free.
Funding Finder doesn't just hold its own charitable grants, its Funding Finder links connect you to a global network of 400+ other online charity funding lists and grant directories, giving you click through to 100k grant funders. And because many of the online funding lists have been created by fundraising professionals, you don't have to create your own, so it saves you time too. Watch the 3 min Demo Video to find out how it will help you secure more funding.
Most of us aren't fundraising professionals, almost everyone has limited time, some find using technology challenging and, for others, English is a second language. Charity Excellence Funding Finder grants directory was designed specifically to be very quick and simple to use. All you need to do is watch the 3 min Demo Video and it also has links to Charity Excellence fundraising guides and videos to help you make your charitable grant funding bid applications successful.
The first step is to set the geographical parameters you want. The system can search Internationally, UK Wide, for each UK country, major cities and, for England, counties. Select all the geographical settings relevant to your charity to maximise your charitable grants search.
Funding Finder has 13 search categories for groups of people, from young and older people to the disabled and BAME Communities, and a search specifically for small charities and community groups. The more options you select, the more grants Funding Finder will display.
Many small charities and community groups struggle to find charitable grant funding. As I load new records, I assess each grant funder and if it prioritises, or only funds small charities, it is allocated to the Small Charity & Community Groups search category.
Funding Finder has 13 search categories for types of funding from core funding to education and health, and more niche charity funding such as tech and for social enterprises. The more options you select, the more grants Funding Finder will display.
You can filter the charity grant funding displayed by selecting grant amount and also be using the Any or All Categories pull down menu. The system default is 'Any'. That is, if you select more than one of the options above, the system will display charity funding from grant makers that meet any of the criteria you have chosen. Howeve3r, if you use the pull down menu to choose 'All', the system will only display charity funding from grant makers that meet all of the criteria you have chosen. Your search will return less charitable grants but these will be a better fit for what you are looking for.
You can use the Key Word search box to find very local charitable grants and more niche types of charity funding.
To help you even more, there are 60+ charitable trust and foundation grant funding lists that can be downloaded from the system's fundraising questionnaire. These are listed in the Funding List Index.
Completing the fundraising questionnaire will enable you to assess every aspect of your fundraising and be connected to a huge range of resources. The grant funding lists can be downloaded from the assessment question on finding new funders. It Has FUNDER LISTS typed in block capitals in the question, so you can't mis it.
A registered charity ourselves, we provide 8 online health checks, the huge information hub, Quality Mark and 2 other directories.

Make Sure You Stay Safe Online
We would never knowingly link to any website that contains offensive, illegal or suspect information, or potentially scam links and we carry out checks as best we can. However, our system links charities not only to help but also websites with online lists of links and other databases and a volunteer run charity, can't possibly check and validate everything. Consequently, in using our system you accept that we cannot take any responsibility for 3rd party content or links and you agree that you will carry out all reasonable checks to keep yourself safe. Here's our guide to staying safe online.
