About us

What is GrantAdvisor UK?

GrantAdvisor UK is an online service that encourages open dialogue between social impact organisations and grantmakers by collecting authentic, real-time reviews and comments on grantseekers’ experiences working with funders.

Our approach aims to gather honest and public feedback on grantmakers’ work, whilst also creating stronger peer sharing between social impact organisations. The lack of feedback loops in grant making practice is a significant barrier to a more effective sector. We are working in collaboration with you to change that.

Help us grow our community

Grantseekers can write a review for any grantmaking organisation listed on the service. It's also easy to share an experience working with other funders, including trusts and foundations or corporates, even if its not listed yet. To do this, please write a review and select 'Other' from the list of organisations. You will then be able to write your anonymous review.

We will get in touch with the funder to let them know they have received a review, and support them to register with GrantAdvisor UK. Thank you for helping us grow our community.

Where did the idea for GrantAdvisor UK come from?

We at CAST have partnered with Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN), who have been running GrantAdvisor in the USA with tremendous success and impact.
