An online funding portal that enables local authorities, business support organisations, educational institutions and community sector support bodies to provide a complete and cost-effective funding information service in their area.
GRANTnet users typically include local authorities, business networking organisations, chambers of commerce, large voluntary organisations, housing associations, dioceses and NHS trusts who use it not only to integrate a high-quality funding search into their own website but also to capture data and offer follow-on support to organisations in their area looking for funding.
"Linking to GRANTnet from our corporate website has been a successful tactic for us and the 11,000 tourism businesses with whom we regularly communicate. The advantage has been three-fold. Firstly, the system acted as a reactive, one-stop-shop to help businesses quickly identify if there is any funding available for them to develop their product or raise their quality. Secondly, it has encouraged businesses to proactively explore the availability of grants and to invest in ways that they might otherwise not have. Thirdly, it has freed our staff time, so that we have been able to run more efficiently as an organisation."
"One of Broadland's key ways of working with the community is through grant funding and the GRANTnet service gives us another channel through which even more projects can become a reality. Over the years, this resource has helped to bring in a considerable amount of money to ensure that community projects have moved from aspiration to completion."
