POLICYfinder

The UK's leading up-to-the minute one-stop-shop of EU and UK policy. It is used by leading public, charitable and voluntary sector organisations who understand the need to keep informed about the latest policy changes and political landscape, and how this impacts on grant funding.

POLICYfinder covers all major EU and UK Government, regional and local policy.

Key features:

  • Database is updated in real-time – as soon as we know about a policy change, so do you.

  • Easily accessible extracts – our dedicated policy team read through hundreds of pages of original policy documents to précis the most salient points into a quick- reference extract.
  • Policy news service – offering you alerts tailored to your subject area and location, and to your frequency of preference.
  • Links to grants – helping you to understand how policy and legislative changes affect funding and how to take account of the bigger picture when making a funding application.
  • Online bulletin – access the policy highlights of the last 30 days in one place.
  • Authoritative papers – understanding what the Budget and Comprehensive Spending Review mean for your organisation can help you and your colleagues to understand and react to the latest policy trends.
  • Help Desk – our dedicated team are on hand to help with your enquiries throughout the working day.
"POLICYfinder is an excellent resource and there's so much information on there! It makes for interesting reading and colleagues across the Council use it to keep up-to-speed with Government and funder policy."
— Sue Douglas, Senior Economic Development Officer, Derbyshire County Council
"POLICYfinder was the main reason we chose to subscribe to GRANTfinder rather than continue with our previous grants database. I've found POLICYfinder most useful from a professional development point of view. Being able to print off a comprehensive extract on a White Paper or other policy document has not only aided my own understanding but means that I am able to speak with more confidence at meetings about issues such as cancer and palliative care."
— Joanne Edwards, Head of Fundraising and Communications, Ashgate Hospice
"GRANTfinder and POLICYfinder have been really useful here at the Fire and Rescue Service. I have seen rapid and client-requested development to all of their products over the past four years. Recently the company has excelled itself in not only providing real-time external funding information direct to my inbox, but also allowing me to search across thousands of different funding streams as well as being able to track and store all UK and European Policy."
— Tanya Wainwright, Formerly Business Development Manager, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue
