GrantNest matches live UK grants and tenders to your charity's actual profile, eligibility-checked, so you chase fewer, better-fitting opportunities and skip the hundreds you could never win.
Free instant taster. No account needed, no card, no spam.
The problem
Most charity teams don't have a research department. They have one person, a spreadsheet, and not enough hours.
You scroll through endless listings, most for funders who'd never back a charity like yours. The good ones hide in the pile.
You spend an afternoon on an application, then find a single line in the small print that rules you out from the start.
Portals, alerts and newsletters all add to the pile. Nothing actually narrows it down to what's worth your time.
How it works
Build your profile once: your cause, who you help, where you work, your income band and what you're funding. It takes minutes, not meetings.
We check your profile against live UK tenders from Find a Tender (matching in beta) and grant-funding patterns (360Giving), then surface the ones that actually fit, eligibility-checked and ranked by relevance. Fewer results, far better odds.
When you find one worth pursuing, GrantNest gives you an application checklist and a pre-filled opening you edit — a structured starting point for the bid, not a blank page. You shape it, evidence it and submit.
Precision over coverage
Anyone can hand you a longer list. The hard part, and the valuable part, is handing you a shorter one you can trust.
A calm feed you trust beats a busy one you dread.
Where we stand
We're new, and we're being honest about that. We don't have a wall of testimonials yet, because we're opening to our very first charities now. Here's what we can stand behind.
We'll never invent reviews or numbers. When charities have results worth sharing, you'll hear it from them, not from us.
Live UK tender data from Find a Tender, the UK government's tender service (matching in beta), and grant-funding intelligence from 360Giving, the recognised open standard for UK grants. No mystery sources.
You'll talk to the people building it. Founding members shape what we prioritise next.
We're onboarding a small founding cohort first, so each charity gets proper attention rather than being lost in a crowd.
Pricing
No "request a quote" runaround. Because GrantNest is built AI-first rather than on big manual research teams, we keep pricing simple and affordable for mid-sized charities: a fraction of the US tools, and fair against the UK ones.

FAQ
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. GrantNest helps you discover the opportunities that genuinely fit your charity and gives you a structured starting point for each application. Whether you win depends on your work, your bid and the funder's decision.
From trusted, official sources. Live UK tenders come from Find a Tender, the UK government's tender service (our tender matching is in beta), and our grant-funding intelligence draws on 360Giving, the recognised open standard for UK grants data.
Two ways. First, precision: instead of a giant searchable list, we deliberately show you fewer, eligibility-checked opportunities that actually fit your charity. Second, pricing: legacy UK tools tend to run on manual research teams and opaque pricing. We're built AI-first, so we can be transparent and affordable. See our honest comparisons: GrantNest vs the free grant finders and GrantNest vs GrantFinder.
Clear, flat pricing with no "request a quote" runaround: free tier, GrantNest Plus at £24/month billed annually (£29 paid monthly), and a founding-member rate of £19/month billed annually for the first cohort. See the pricing section above. How that compares to the alternatives: vs the free tools.
We're onboarding a small founding cohort soon and opening more widely after that. The waitlist is how you get in early: founding members get first access and our best pricing.
Yes. We only use your charity profile to match you to relevant opportunities, we never sell or share your details, and we handle your data in line with UK GDPR.
