Built by experts for organisations just like yours
Apply to Join Phase OneWe analysed over 5,000 UK grant-making charities. 80% still manage applications manually.
Reading through stacks of printed PDFs or email attachments, one by one. Before they even get to discuss them.
GrantForge lets trustees review and score from any device — minutes, not hours.
No side-by-side view, no scoring framework. Every trustee forms their own opinion with no structure to align them.
GrantForge gives trustees structured scoring so you can compare applicants side by side.
You're trusting what applicants tell you. Some trustees check Charity Commission records. Most don't. No standard process.
GrantForge runs automatic checks against Charity Commission and Companies House data.
"Can everyone please review these 15 applications by Friday?" Then chasing responses individually by email.
GrantForge puts everyone in one place — you can see who's reviewed and who hasn't.
Different trustees, different criteria, different outcomes. No framework to ensure fair, consistent grant-making.
GrantForge lets trustees score independently — before the meeting you see where there's agreement.
"How much did we give away last year?" Digging through emails and spreadsheets to compile the numbers. Paper trails that don't survive trustee changes.
GrantForge generates Charity Commission reports at a click — with an audit trail that lasts.
You don't need a Swiss Army knife. You need a sharp blade.
