Grant Guide
Finding the right grant is less about searching harder and more about searching smarter. This guide explains how UK charities can identify funders whose priorities genuinely match their work.
Funders fund outcomes, not organisations. Before searching, define the project, the people who benefit, the budget and the change you expect to see.
Most UK grant income comes from trusts and foundations, the National Lottery Community Fund, local authorities, community foundations and corporate giving programmes.
Read funder criteria, past grants and exclusions carefully. Applying only where you clearly fit is the fastest way to raise your success rate.
If your team lacks time, a UK grant research service like Quins Aid builds a prioritised funder pipeline matched to your work, with deadlines and fit scores.
