Sources of Funding

GRANTfinder

GRANTfinder can help small businesses, charitable and community groups to find suitable funding.  It helps you identify and select only funding schemes and awards that are appropriate for your business.

The main features of this interactive database are:

• an easy-to-use search tool
• up-to-date information on over 4,000 grants and other incentives
• rapid identification of funding sources specific to need
• data sourced from EC and UK Government sources, including Government departments, local authorities, charitable trusts and corporate sponsors
• an Account Profile option, enabling you to store information (such as your location and number of employees) removing the need to input the same information unnecessarily for subsequent searches.
