Workflow

Start with need, not supply

Check place-level funding gaps, disadvantage, and community-controlled presence before you prioritise a funder or an application.

Open Place Coverage

What strong users do here

Community organisations search grants, then trace back to aligned foundations and relationship targets.

Foundations search charities and social enterprises by cause, geography, and community signals before opening a round.

Corporate and philanthropic teams check place need and existing coverage before funding whoever shouts loudest.
