There are thousands of trusts and foundations in the UK. Some trusts have an interest in supporting projects in a specific geographical area while others have an interest in supporting certain communities or activities. To help you identify funders for your project we have compiled a list of free searchable databases.

 

General Funding Searches

J4BCommunity is a searchable database of funders from Idox Information Solutions. J4B offers limited access for free including a funding search and regular email alerts. For further information about each funder a subscription must be purchased. 

Many trusts do not have a website so the Charity Commission website can be used to find out the income of the trust and who they have supported in previous years.
