Funding Projects

The FunderFinder computer package is available for parishes to use at St Mary's House. FunderFinder is a useful programme that keeps track of over 4,000 charitable trusts and foundations that give grants for projects in the UK, making grant seeking quicker and easier. It retrieves funders that match the profile of the grant seeker and what they would like funding for, ranks them in best match order and allows the user to consider ‘fuzzier’ matches. It is possible to save and / or print a list of funders and where to find out further information about them.
