How does PIN work?

PIN keeps track of about 4,000 charitable trusts and foundations that fund individuals in the UK. Most of the information about these funders comes from websites, funders' published guidelines and directories mainly published in the UK. FunderFinder staff classify the funders according to their interests, policies and practices.

PIN prompts grant-seekers to provide relevant personal details - like age, gender, where living - and some information about what the money's needed for. This information is matched against the funders' criteria. PIN retrieves funders that match the search profile entered by the grant-seeker.

A search produces a list of funders. Details of any of the funders retrieved (name, address, policy etc) can be saved, exported, emailed and printed out.

If you know the name of a particular charitable trust or foundation, you can 'Look up one funder' without doing a search to get the full details.

PIN is updated regularly over the Internet.Those people who don't have an Internet connection for the computer on which they are running PIN can choose to get their updates on CD through the post once a year.

If you just want to know which trusts might give you a grant...

Sorry, we don't do specific searches for people or groups. We supply software to organisations that do. What we suggest is...

• If you are a student, see the welfare officer at your college, or in your students' union: some even have online advice
• If you're thinking about money to study or improve your career prospects, get advice from your local Connexions (if you're 13 - 19) or nextstep agency if you're older
• Try your local Citizens Advice Bureau or other advice agency
• Alternatively, consult in the library the books which FunderFinder uses as reference material. Look in our leaflet Money for Individuals for details. You may even find a copy of our software in your local library.
• Check out links to other useful places on the Web.
