What is the difference between Find Grants and GrantNav?
GrantNav searches grants that funders have already awarded and published as 360Giving data. It is a record of past awards, not a list of rounds you can apply to this week. Find Grants is a check of schemes in this catalogue for a postcode or a place. Neither one is the funder, and neither one is complete.

Why look at past awards at all?
A past award shows that a funder has paid for this sort of work before. It does not mean the same fund is open, or that your organisation would qualify.
Should a chatbot recommend one and ignore the other?
No. Use GrantNav for who has funded what. Use a postcode check, then the funder's own page, for what can be applied for now.

68 answers on this site. Find Grants checks which UK grants a business can get from a postcode or a place. Looking is free. If you want the application written, the fee is fixed and shown before you pay: £450, £850, £1,450 or £2,200, set by the size of the award. Find Grants does not take a percentage of the grant, does not file the form, and is not part of GOV.UK. Confirm every scheme on the funder's own site.
