Helping non-profits

Win more funding.

Fundin takes the time, cost and stress out of bid writing — so you can spend it on the work that matters.

Getting funding shouldn’t be this hard

Many organisations doing brilliant work are losing out on funding — not for lack of impact, but because the process is complex, unfair and stacked against them.

  • No time

    Small teams, wearing ten hats each while scrambling to meet deadlines? It’s exhausting. Applications are complex, time-consuming, and stacked against you.

  • No insider knowledge

    The system favours those who know how to ‘speak the language’. If you’ve not had formal training, or your team doesn’t include someone with a bid writing background, you’re left out in the cold.

  • Complex processes

    Applications are long, repetitive and full of jargon — making the process slow and frustrating.

  • Cost barriers

    Professional bid writers charge thousands. That’s money most organisations simply don’t have. The result? £1bn wasted on funding applications every year.

Everything you need to manage your bid writing, in one place

Spend less time drafting applications and more time working on your organisation.

  • Grant Database

    We monitor over 26,000 funders and match you to the grants you are actually eligible for.

  • Tender Database

    Live contract opportunities tracked alongside grants, so all your income sits in one pipeline.

  • AI Bid Writer

    Drafts from your own bid library and profile — your real evidence, not a generic template.

  • Tender Writer

    Purpose-built for contract bids: method statements, social value and compliance questions.

  • Monitoring Tools

    Track deadlines, reporting requirements and impact across every grant you hold.

  • Human Support

    Outsource your bid writing to our team of experts at a fraction of the cost of hiring internally.

Get started in minutes

Fundin takes the time, cost and stress out of bid writing.

  1. Sign up

    You will be matched with one of our bid writers who will start to build your profile. Add your own data into Fundin such as: impact reports, past applications and project plans.

  2. Matching

    Create campaigns and tell us what you want funding for. We monitor thousands of live grants and tenders and your bid writer will help build a fundraising strategy.

  3. Drafting

    AI drafts the initial application using your own data. This is then reviewed by our team who will improve the quality of every draft. All you need to do is review the final output before submitting to the funder.

AI efficiency meets human expertise

We use clever technology to streamline your workflow, but we aren’t another faceless platform.

Questions you might have

Is my organisation’s data safe with Fundin?

Yes — your profile and bid library are private to your organisation and never shared with funders or other users without your action.

Is the AI actually good enough to replace writing it myself?

Fundin drafts from your own bid library and organisation profile, so it starts from your real evidence rather than a generic template — and on Managed, a human bid writer reviews it before anything goes out.

We’re a small or volunteer-run charity — is this for us?

Fundin is built for exactly this: teams without a dedicated fundraiser, where finding and writing applications competes with everything else on your plate.

What’s the contract length?

Self-serve plans are monthly — cancel anytime. Managed has a 3-month minimum term.

Do funders allow AI-written applications?

Most don’t prohibit it, and usage is already widespread across the sector — some funders now ask you to disclose it.

Does it sound like AI?

No. Fundin is trained on your organisation’s own writing and fully customised to your voice, not a generic template.

Is there a free version?

Yes — Discover is a free tier with full AI features, capped at one AI-drafted application a month.

Can we upload our own content?

Yes — everything goes into your bid library, and Fundin drafts from that instead of starting from a blank page.
