Finding the Right Funding for Your Project

Finding and securing funding is vital part of life for many organisations, whether it be to support daily operations, to run a special project or to raise awareness for an important cause. Finding the right funder can be challenging, but we’re here to help.

Our website provides a comprehensive, curated list of charitable funders, catering to projects of all shapes and sizes. Whether you need a small grant or substantial financial backing, our resources cover a wide range of funding opportunities.

BAND offers practical advice and support for childcare providers seeking funding. To make your search easier, we have compiled a detailed Funders Index. This regularly updated resource includes essential information on current funding opportunities, application processes and eligibility criteria along with the contact details.

As well as connecting you with funders, we provide expert guidance on fundraising strategies. Our funding guidance booklet offers practical tips on planning and implementing successful fundraising efforts. Whether you’re applying for grants, organising community fundraising events or seeking sponsorships, our resources can help you secure the financial support you need.

These resources are free for anyone to use but if you are a BAND member and you need further support, BAND is here to help- get in touch on admin@bandltd.org.uk
