A practical guide for small charities looking for funding, grant opportunities and support with grant applications.
Running a small charity can be incredibly rewarding, but finding the funding needed to continue your work can often feel like a full-time job. Many charities rely on grants to pay for projects, equipment, staff, volunteer expenses, training and community activities.
The good news is that thousands of grants are available throughout the UK, but knowing where to look can save many hours of research.
At My New Future CIC, we have developed AI-powered tools that help charities search for suitable funding opportunities and create professional grant applications, giving organisations more time to focus on helping the people they support.
Many smaller charities are run by volunteers who already have limited time. Searching hundreds of funding websites, checking eligibility criteria and completing lengthy application forms can become overwhelming.
Common problems include:
Funding is available from many different organisations, including:
Each funder has different priorities, so matching your charity with the right grant is essential.
Artificial Intelligence is changing the way charities apply for funding. Instead of starting from a blank page, AI can help you research suitable grants, draft professional funding applications and explain your project more clearly.
AI can help you:
Our AI Grant Finder searches available opportunities, while our AI Grant Writer helps you prepare professional applications that you can edit before submitting.
Before submitting any application, make sure you:
Funders are looking for projects that create measurable community benefits.
Yes. Many grant programmes are specifically designed for small charities, voluntary groups and community organisations.

Some applications take less than an hour, while larger grants may require several days of preparation.
My New Future CIC combines artificial intelligence with practical guidance to help charities, CICs, community organisations and nonprofits find funding opportunities and prepare stronger grant applications.
