For charities & applicants

Applying should be
clear, fair, and quick.

When a funder runs a round on Grantledger, this is what you experience as an applicant: no account to create, the assessment criteria shown up front, an eligibility check before you start, drafts you can return to, and a decision from a human panel.

Applicants never pay and never sign up. You apply straight from the funder's link.

How applying works, step by step

  1. 01

    Open the funder's link: no account, no password

    The funder shares a single link. You land on the call with everything you need: the brief, the deadline, the budget, and exactly how you will be assessed. Nothing to sign up for.

  2. 02

    Check you're eligible before you write a word

    Run the eligibility pre-check first. If a fund isn't for you, you find out in seconds, not after a day of writing.

  3. 03

    See the criteria and weights you'll be scored against

    The same criteria the panel scores against are published to you, with their weights. No hidden requirements, no guessing what matters.

  4. 04

    Save a draft and come back later

    Start now, finish later. Your private resume link brings you back to exactly where you left off, with a completeness indicator so you know what's outstanding.

  5. 05

    Submit and keep your reference

    On submission you get a reference to quote in any correspondence. Your data is used only to assess this application, for this round.

  6. 06

    Hear back from a human

    Every decision is made and recorded by the funder's panel, never by a model. Outcomes are emailed during business hours, so a 3am rejection is impossible by default.

What you can rely on

A human decides

Scoring is decision support only, grounded in your own evidence and cited. The funding decision is made by people and logged in a tamper-evident record.

Published criteria

You see exactly the criteria and weights the panel uses. The framework is the same one you read at the top of the page.

Your data, this round

Your application is used solely to assess this round, processed in the UK, with a full audit trail and erasure on request.
