An affordable grant management platform

Simple digital grant management for UK charities. Digital applications, trustee review, due diligence, Charity Commission reports.

Built by experts for organisations just like yours

Most small grant-making charities still manage applications on spreadsheets and paper

We analysed over 5,000 UK grant-making charities. 80% still manage applications manually.

Chasing trustee reviews by email

"Can everyone please review these 15 applications by Friday? They're attached." Then chasing responses individually.

Inconsistent due diligence on applicants

Some trustees check Charity Commission records. Others don't. No standard process for background checks.

Annual scramble for Charity Commission figures

"How much did we give away last year?" Digging through emails and spreadsheets to find the numbers.

Why GrantForge?

You don't need a Swiss Army knife. You need a sharp blade.
