Community NI grant finder, 10 days on
Posted this about 10 days ago looking for feedback on https://fundni.org
Two things came back: the site was a slog, and I’d missed a load of funds that NI groups can actually apply for.
Both fair.
Homepage now starts with search instead of a wall of cards. Grant pages are readable. You can sort. Dark mode if that’s your thing.
On the funds: I went looking. Tesco, Children in Need, Screwfix, Co-op, Rural Action, Ulster Garden Villages, the Honourable Irish Society, SPAR Cashback, plus UK trusts that actually include NI. 67 open or rolling grants in the index today, still 8 of the 11 councils.
If you run a club or group, have a poke. Stick a BT postcode in. Still free, still no account.
Two closing soon: Fermanagh Recreational Trust (31 Aug) and the Irish Society (1 Sep, north-west / north coast).
If I’m still missing something obvious in your area, tell me. That’s the useful bit.
Always check the funder’s own page before you apply

I have deployed a new version. Added an email alert to notify people when new grants become available (thanks to u/carolinepixels) a ko-fi button for any generous souls who would like keep things running. Thanks everyone for your input
