A free tool for UK charities

Who funds charities like yours?

Every funder database tells you what's open for applications. Almost none of them tell you who is actually disposed to fund a charity like yours.

Funder Map reads the public record instead: just over a million grants that UK funders have published, joined to the Charity Commission register. Type your charity's name below and it finds the charities that share your funders, the charities registered to do what you do, and then the funders who back those charities far more often than they back everyone else.

No AI writes any of this. Every funder on your report traces back to real, published grants, and you can see them. The only thing this page sends anywhere is the charity number you pick.

What this can see, and what it can't

Funder Map only knows about grants that funders choose to publish through 360Giving, the UK's open standard for grants data. A few hundred funders publish; thousands don't. So an empty section on your report doesn't mean nobody funds work like yours. It means the funders who do haven't published, and that is worth knowing in itself.

For what's open to applications right now, the directories do that job well: Charity Excellence's Funding Finder, My Funding Central, and GOV.UK's Find a Grant for government money. This report answers the question they can't: which funders' past behaviour suggests they'd lean your way.

What happens next is your job, not mine. I don't write funding applications and I don't sell anything on the back of this report. What I do is the work underneath it: getting straight answers out of the systems an organisation already runs, which is the same job this report does, pointed at public data instead of yours. Read about that if you're curious, or email me.
