Every Charity Deserves
A Fair Shot at Funding

We're here to help small and medium-sized charities secure the funding they need to keep changing lives in their communities.

The Challenge

Small charities are struggling to survive

Every week, we speak with small and medium-sized charities doing incredible work in their communities. They're supporting vulnerable people, running essential services, and making real differences in people's lives.

Yet too many are operating with just a few months of funding left. The pressure on the people running these services is immense, and when funding falls through, the ripple effect is devastating.

People lose jobs. Vulnerable people lose their support. Communities lose vital services.

Hours of research

Finding the right funders can take weeks or even months of manual searching.

Unclear requirements

Many applications fail not because the work isn't valuable, but because outcomes weren't articulated clearly.

Limited resources

Most small charities can't afford professional fundraising support when they need it most.

A Story That Moved Us

When funding means everything

We recently worked with a small CIC running nature-based therapy groups for women who had experienced domestic abuse. Twenty women attended each week, finding healing and community in those sessions.

After a couple of declined applications, the founder had begun using personal savings and credit cards to keep the service running. She felt such deep responsibility to these vulnerable women who had nowhere else to go.

"The previous applications hadn't been successful simply because outcomes and impact weren't being articulated clearly enough. Not because the work wasn't valuable."

Within days of reframing her applications with clear outcomes and compelling storytelling, a grant came through funding the service for a full year. The relief was visible in her posture, in her smile. She was laughing again.

This is why we built Fundermatcher.

Our Approach

We believe in helping organisations in a sustainable way—mentoring them so they can build the skills and confidence to take on more of their own fundraising.

Our platform combines 20+ years of fundraising expertise with AI technology to make professional-grade funding support accessible to everyone.

Our Mission

Empowering charities to secure sustainable funding

We've created a platform that helps not-for-profits match with suitable funders within minutes—a process that otherwise takes weeks or months.

Users simply share information about their project, and our AI produces tailored wording to support their applications, drawing on decades of professional fundraising knowledge.

Because every charity doing vital community work deserves a fair chance at funding.

Build Capacity

We don't just write applications—we help organisations learn and grow, reducing their long-term reliance on external support.
