Funding quiz

A short self-assessment to see whether your charity is ready to apply for grant funding, and which funders could be a fit.

Before you apply for funding, let's check your foundations.

Most funders expect certain things to be in place before they'll consider an application: clear governance, up-to-date policies and filed accounts. This takes about 4 minutes and ends with an honest readiness result and, where relevant, funders worth exploring.
