How it works

Three steps to a funded application

Check fit first — then put your energy into applications that can win.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your organisation

    Registered charity, CIO, CIC or community group — give us your name and we’ll research the rest, or add your cause, area and numbers by hand. About two minutes.

  2. 02

    See the grants you can win

    We research each funder and check your eligibility against 3,500+ UK grant-makers, then tell you honestly which ones you can apply for.

  3. 03

    Draft each application

    Turn any eligible funder into a first draft, written from your real data. You edit every word, then submit it to the funder.

Why Fundermatcher

Match the funders.
Draft the bid.

For registered charities, CIOs, CICs and community groups — run by founders, CEOs and volunteers who fundraise themselves.

Know if you can apply, before you write
We check each funder’s criteria, open funds and deadlines — so you only draft for opportunities that fit.
Full first drafts, question by question
Every application answer is drafted for you, against the funder’s real form — not a blank page.
Written from your facts, not filler
Drafts use your charity’s real numbers and impact. Missing details stay as placeholders you fill in.
Refine until it sounds like you
Edit with the assistant, approve answer by answer, then track each bid through to submission.

Who can use Fundermatcher?

Registered charities, CIOs, CICs and constituted community groups. When you set up your profile you pick your legal status, and we only surface funders that accept organisations like yours.

We’re a CIC or community group, not a registered charity. Will this work for us?

Yes. CICs and community groups are first-class — we track which funders accept each type and check your fit before you write, so you don’t waste time on “registered charities only” trusts.

How does the eligibility check work?

We research each funder, their real criteria, open funds, deadlines and grant sizes, then give you an honest verdict and a strategy for that specific funder. It takes about 30 seconds.

Do funders reject AI-written applications?

Fundermatcher drafts are built from your charity’s real projects, numbers and voice. If a fact is missing, we ask you. You review and edit every word before anything goes to a funder.

How many funders are in Fundermatcher?

Over 3,500 UK grant-makers, ranked for your charity and updated regularly.
