The Directory of Social Change has launched a new website to help charities find new sources of funding.
The new Funds Online website combines the data from DSC’s long-standing collection of online funding search products, and aims to help charities find over £8billion in funding from some 8,000 different funders. The platform has been designed with a range of features aimed at making finding funding as easy as possible for everyone, from trustees and volunteers to professional fundraisers.
Charities looking for funding will be able to start their search with a simple online search, and use their dashboard to log and track their applications all in one place.
