We email you every time a fund launches that matches your organisation profile. The subject line is “Psst, new funding opportunity for you”. Matching funds also appear on your dashboard under Eligible funding opportunities.
If one of your projects is applied to the fund as soon as it launches, you won’t get this email. Instead, the people who manage that project get an email saying it’s been applied.
The email is sent when a fund launches. If you update your profile later and start matching a fund that’s already live, you won’t get an email about it, so check Eligible funds after you change your profile.
Which funds you’ll hear about
The emails cover funds that match your profile’s organisation type, location and focus areas. These are the same funds that appear under Eligible funds. How matching works
You may not get an email about:
- funds in Other live funds, which don’t match your profile (your projects can still be applied to them)
- Active Apply funds, which you sometimes hear about from the funder, ActionFunder or your network instead
- Private funds, which are invite-only
So it’s worth checking Funding in the left-hand menu from time to time too. Browsing funds: Eligible, Other live and Past funds
Make sure the emails reach you
- Add hello@actionfunder.org as a safe sender in your email settings, so our emails don’t land in spam.
- Keep your profile up to date. Check your main address is correct and add every focus area that fits your activities. The more accurate your profile, the more relevant the funds we tell you about. Setting up your organisation profile
Who in your team gets them
New fund emails go to everyone in your organisation’s ActionFunder account with the Admin role, once they’ve confirmed their email address. Managers and Members don’t get them. To add someone, give them the Admin role in your team settings. Add team members to your organisation · User roles and permissions
A fund has launched. What next?
- Open the fund page and read the criteria and deadlines. Reading a fund page: criteria and key deadlines
- If you have a live project that fits, it may already be applied. Check under Manage > Funding Applications.
- If not, create a project that matches the criteria, or edit an existing one and re-publish it, before the Deadline.
