How Grants Matched works
Grants for businesses are scattered across government departments, agencies and hundreds of council websites. We gather them in one place and show you only the ones you can apply for.
Where the grants come from
We read the pages where funders publish their own schemes: national listings such as GOV.UK Find a Grant and Innovate UK, the devolved nations’ finders, and individual council pages. Today that is 19 grants from 15 funders, and the list grows as we add sources.
How a grant is read
Each page is read by an AI model, which records the amount, the deadline, who can apply and where. It is not trusted on its own word. For every key fact it must quote the sentence on the page that says so, and our code checks that quote really is there. An amount the page does not support is left blank. A record that fails a check is held back and never shown.
Pages are re-read when they change. Every grant shows when it was last checked and links to the funder’s own page.
How matching works
You describe your business in your own words. We pick out where you are, your size, your sector and what you need money for, and show you what we understood so you can correct it. A grant is listed only if it is open, covers your area, and is open to an organisation of your type and size.
What to keep in mind
- We can be wrong, and funders change their rules. Always confirm the details on the funder’s page before you apply.
- We do not cover every funder yet. If you know a scheme we are missing, tell us.
- We are not the funder and cannot accept applications. It is free to use, and we do not take a share of any grant.
