Over 90% of the grant-makers listed give to general charitable purposes all over the UK, meaning charities from across the sector are eligible to apply to them for funding. This edition saw a rise in grant-makers supporting social welfare, with an increase of 18% in those supporting people with disabilities, and a 28% rise in funders supporting older people, compared to the previous edition). ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

To help with the search process, this edition has two new indexes: for charitable causes supported, and geographical area of benefit. It also includes facts about the grant-making charities’ policies, contact details and application guidelines, where they are available, and latest social media information on each charity, where available.
