For small CICs and charities

One grant a day. Checked before you waste an evening on it.

Why this exists

Most small groups don't lose grants on the writing.

They lose them on a rule buried in the guidance, after hours of work. Every grant we post is checked against rules like these first.

So we tell you to skip as often as we tell you to apply.

  1. Charities onlyCIC can't apply
  2. Three unrelated directorsYou have two
  3. Filed accounts requiredNot filed yet
  4. Two years tradingYou're 18 months
  5. Income over £25,000Below the floor

The verdict

A straight answer, every time.

APPLY

The rules are clean for a typical small CIC or charity, there are more than two weeks left, and the money is worth the effort.

MAYBE

One real risk: a tight deadline, a partial fit, or a rule that only some groups pass. We say which.

SKIP

A rule most members will fail, or a weak fit. Knowing not to apply saves you a whole evening.

What we promise

Plain dealing.

Checked on the funder's own website

Never copied from another site's summary. Every post shows the date we checked and the link.

We never promise a grant

The funder decides. We make sure you only apply where you can actually win.

You see everything first

Nothing is sent to a funder until you've read and approved it.

Your details stay yours

Your organisation's facts are only ever used in your own applications.

Questions

Asked most often.

Is the daily grant really free?

Yes. The post is free for everyone, every day. We only charge if you ask us to do a fit check or an application.

Do you guarantee we'll win?

No, and nobody honestly can: the funder decides. What we do is make sure you qualify before you spend time or money, and that your application is accurate and complete.

What if we don't qualify?

We tell you, explain which rule stops you, and don't take your money. Where something would make you eligible, such as filing accounts or adding a director, we tell you that too.

Do you use AI?

Yes, to help draft. A person checks every fact against your own documents, and you approve the final text before anything is submitted.

Who submits the application?

We do, with your sign-off. Where a funder needs you to use your own login, we complete the last step with you.

What do you need from us?

For a fit check: a short form about your organisation and a few documents, such as your accounts and governing document. We collect them once and reuse them, so you're not asked twice.
