About GRIN
GRIN (‘Grants Resources Information News’) is a UK-based social enterprise that works with not-for-profit organisations across the United Kingdom and internationally to help them secure the grant funding and resources they need.
We research and circulate a Daily Bulletin on grant opportunities that provides detailed information on up to 5 grant opportunities each day. We also collate and distribute a Grants Database containing full details of several thousand grant providers.
You can see examples of the Daily Bulletin and the Grants Database on the ‘Products’ page.
We keep our prices as low as possible as we work with many charitable organisations with very limited resources. To reflect this, we’ve made a commitment not to change our pricing structure until at least 2030.
As a social enterprise, we aim to invest in communities. In April 2024 we introduced a Micro-Awards scheme, ring-fenced to our subscribers. On the last Friday of each month, a Voluntary, Community, Faith or Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisation nominated by a subscriber (which can include their own organisation) is drawn at random to receive an unrestricted donation of at least £250. Although it’s only a small amount, the Micro-Award is intended to recognise the amazing work VCFSE agencies do, often with limited resources, on a day-to-day basis. So far, we’ve made donations to around 40 not-for-profit organisations, including Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs in Dorset, the London City Farms and Community Gardens Association, and Okehampton Men in Sheds in Devon. Details about how the GRIN Awards scheme works can be found at this LINK.
Individuals and organisations in the UK or overseas who would like to sign up to GRIN may do so at any time. Simply email us at info@grin.coop for details. We offer a free 2-week trial for anyone who would like to try out the Daily Grant Bulletins.
