Stop printing grant applications

Free to join. We'll notify you when GrantForge is ready.

Sound familiar?

Most small charities still manage grants with paper, spreadsheets and email. It works — until it doesn't.

🗃

Paper everywhere

Printing 30 applications for 10 trustees. That's 300 copies before the meeting even starts.

📊

Spreadsheet chaos

Award history lives in someone's Excel file. Good luck when the Charity Commission asks.

💬

Unstructured decisions

No scoring, no audit trail, no conflict-of-interest records. Just "we discussed it."

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built for charities with 5–15 trustees and 20–200 applications per year. Not enterprise software scaled down — purpose-built for you.

Digital Applications

Online forms with PDF upload. Applicants submit digitally — no more deciphering handwriting or chasing missing pages.

Trustee Review

Score and comment on applications from any device. No printing, no couriering bundles, no squinting at photocopies.

Award History

Searchable archive of every grant decision. Find any award in seconds — not buried in a filing cabinet.

Meeting Support

Auto-generated agendas, recorded decisions and conflict-of-interest tracking. Proper governance, minimal admin.

Charity Commission Reports

Auto-generated compliance reports at the click of a button. No more last-minute scrambles before filing deadlines.

Simple & Accessible

Designed for trustees, not IT departments. If you can use email, you can use GrantForge. WCAG accessible.
