Below are lists of some organisations, with their websites, that provide information on finding funders. There are two sections: information for voluntary and community groups and social enterprises, and a separate section for individuals in need. There are links to other information sources and relevant organisations. The websites listed in the section ‘When you need more than money – where to look for other resources’ provide links to other invaluable information.
Our focus is on London only, although some of the organisations listed include UK, EU and other links.
Many voluntary groups serving a specific interest group or need have helpful advice services and useful links relevant to their particular interest and requirements, for example particular age, religious, ethnic, trade or locality groups or for those with specific medical conditions, and it is worthwhile researching them.
The list of London Funders’ members on this website includes links to each organisation’s website where information on their funding can be found.
