Guidance on the local needs analysis tool

Updated on July 24, 2025

The fund criteria determines what kind of non-profits and projects can apply for funding. Our platform automatically matches projects with relevant funds based on location, focus area, beneficiary type, funding amount required, and type of organisation. If a project matches a fund’s criteria, it will ‘match’ with the fund. 

As you build the fund you’ll see the local needs analysis for the area you have selected. If there’s a broader focus, beneficiary type and location, more projects will be matched. These numbers are just the start. Once your fund is open, relevant non-profits will be notified and encouraged to apply.
