**The “UK’s definitive detailed guide to grant funding”. **

The 17th edition, edited by Abigail O’Loughlin, supplies information on over 1,000
of the largest UK funders. Together they award an annual total of **over £7.19 billion**.
Each grantmaker included in the guide has the potential to give **over £250,000**.

It includes:

 * Detail of grantmakers’ policies and practices
 * Essential financial facts, including the annual total of grants awarded
 * Clear descriptions of eligibility criteria for applicants
 * Funders’ contact details and how to make an application
 * Social media accounts of each charity, where available

The new edition costs **£125** on first publication. The annual guide is often available
