A smarter, simpler way to apply for funding

From 1 June 2026, the Foundation will launch a new AI-powered community impact platform, designed specifically for the UK charity and community sector. It will make it easier than ever to deliver programmes, manage grants, and demonstrate your impact.

The platform will streamline the entire funding process, making applications quicker and more intuitive. With less time spent on administration and reporting, you can focus on what matters most – delivering your services. It will also help generate clearer, stronger evidence to support compliance and strengthen future funding applications.

When applying for the first time, you will simply register your organisation to get started. You will then gain access to your secure Funding Portal – a dedicated space for all your applications and reporting.

Your Funding Portal is your personalised gateway to our grants programme. It will guide you through a straightforward eligibility check, asking a few key questions to confirm your suitability before you apply in full. You can also upload and store supporting documents securely, making them easy to access and reuse. By reducing repetition and administration, the portal ensures that information you provide supports future applications – making the process even faster next time.

The platform is built to make completing applications easier and more efficient. You can save your progress, revisit previous applications, and benefit from a built-in AI tool to help shape your responses. If you need support at any stage, a live chat function is available, along with guidance from a dedicated member of the Plinth team.
