Who we are

We work across the United Kingdom and internationally, responding to all requests for information and practical support with friendly and accessible advice.

We work with not-for-profit organisations to identify the best funding sources to approach, help prepare applications for grants
and provide access to and information about other useful resources. We also send out a daily grants bulletin and produce a monthly Grants and Resources database.
On 30th April 2022 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of grin. To commemorate this landmark, we’re running a competition for subscribers and non-subscribers to name the 5 popular music acts below. Details about the competition can be found HERE.
