NEW Helping grant makers

Streamline the application process.

The grant management system that makes it easy to find, fund and monitor your programmes.

Overwhelmed with applications. Still funding the same few.

Every grant round brings more applications than you can properly review — and the process itself is expensive for everyone in it.

Overwhelmed with applications

More submissions than you can properly work through each round, many of them never eligible to begin with.

Funding the same organisations

No visibility into the wider landscape means you default to who you already know, not who’s the best fit.

Funding rounds cost the sector more

Charities spend hours per application, funders spend hours per review — most of that time re-doing work already done somewhere else.

Applicant drafting plus your review time

220 applicants chasing £250k spend about 4,180 hours drafting — £105k of staff time. With a 23% success rate, 77% of that goes nowhere: £80k on unsuccessful bids. Add your 110 hours of review and the round costs the sector £107k — £0.43 for every £1 you award.

Based on 30 minutes review time per bid and a £25/hour blended staff cost

Fundin Portal vs a traditional GMS

Grant management systems process the applications you receive. Fundin does that too — and shows you the charities who never applied.
