The grant application process often feels unclear, especially when no one has ever walked you through the steps. For small charities, CICs, and grassroots organisations, it may seem intimidating, but it’s entirely achievable with the right support.

At UK Grant Finder Pro (GFP), we help you every step of the way – from discovering relevant funding to writing a strong application.

Step 1: Find the Right Grant

The first step is identifying the right funding opportunities. Many organisations waste hours searching outdated lists or sifting through broad funding databases. GFP simplifies this by providing:

• Personalised weekly grant alerts matched to your mission, location, and size
• A monthly list of Grants Ending Next Month to help avoid last-minute scrambles
• Access to Newly Released Grants before they become widely known

With GFP, the right grants come to you – so you can spend less time searching and more time applying.

Step 2: Qualify the Grant

Not every grant will be a fit. Before you begin your application, consider:

• Does your organisation meet the eligibility based on income, geography, and purpose?
• Can you meet all the listed criteria?
• Are you capable of delivering what the funder expects?

Each GFP alert includes key eligibility info and direct links to funder criteria, helping you make fast, informed decisions.

Step 3: Produce the Written Response

This stage trips up many small teams. Writing a great application takes time and skill — and traditional grant writers often charge £150–£300/day, plus 10% of your grant award.

GFP offers a better model:

• £20/month plan: Includes 3 AI-generated applications per year
• £50/month plan: Includes 20 per year
• Each draft is tailored to your language, goals, and tone
• Optional human review adds clarity and polish when needed

And most importantly – you keep 100% of the money you win.

Step 4: Complete the Application Form

With your content ready, the next step is to complete the actual funder application. This might be:

• A web-based form
• A downloadable document
• A letter-based application

With GFP:

• Most answers are already written in plain English
• We flag which funders require letter-style applications and guide you through the process

Step 5: Submit and Follow Up

Once submitted, always save your confirmation or reference number. Funders vary in response time, and some may request additional info.

GFP helps you stay on top of everything with clear grant summaries, deadlines, and application tips to keep your pipeline running smoothly.

Bonus: GFP Counts as Core Funding

Unlike traditional consultants, your GFP subscription can be listed as part of your core operational funding in many grant applications. That means you get expert-level support without reducing your awarded amount.
