how to find money
introducing our grant finder tool designed to help charities easily search a database of trusts and foundations that have made grants to charitable organisations (including elusive private ancillary funds registered as a nonprofit). filter the results by ACNC charity sub-type to narrow down your search and find funders aligned with your organisation’s mission.
so whether you are a health charity, educational nonprofit, or animal welfare organisation, you can find potential funders that support your cause. the grant finder database includes a website link (where available) to find more information about their grant programs and application processes.
you can also try our AI grants finder (scroll to the bottom of this page) to identify grant-makers in your location by cause and grant-type.
other free sources of grants available to charities include Grants Connect (federal government), grants and program finder, and state and territory grants. local government websites also include grants to community groups.
how to ask for more money

and to bolster your ask, better charity’s AI-powered Case for Support tool (coming soon) can help you clearly communicate your charity’s mission, impact, and unique value proposition to potential funders.
