"The Football Association has been using GRANTfinder software for over seven years in supporting clubs and other parties develop funding bids. During this time, we have been very pleased with the software and indeed, the service and support offered on several occasions used training services from GRANTfinder and again, these have always been delivered successfully. There is no doubt that the software offers excellent value for money in terms of cost versus grant secured through the use of the system. One of the most important features of the system is that the user will always be sure of being able to access the very latest information relating to any specific grant stream and also, more latterly, policy advisories. We would recommend GRANTfinder to those seeking access to an accurate and up-to-date database of domestic and European funding streams."
