CharityConnect: Grant Application Success Rates & Online Funding Lists
Grant funding seems to have become far more challenging than it was during Covid.  The old (and very crude) measure was that about 1 in 3 warm trust bids would be successful, but what I'm hearing is that it now seems to be more like 1 in 8.  What sort of success rate are you having and is that generally or is it particularly difficult in certain areas?  
As a thank you, here are a series of online grant funding lists.   
UK charity core costs, including unrestricted grants for salaries, wages and running costs.
Small UK charities and community group, including unregistered ones charities.
Grant funding for tech, plus sources of free laptops and computers, software, including CRM and website hosting
Mental health & wellbeing - including for loneliness and social isolation, with categories for core funding, young people, older people, small grants and small charities, women, England and churches & faith groups.
Charity arts projects - general funding, including the Arts Council, performing arts, music, theatre, young people and minority communities.
Disability Charities - including for adults and young people, physical & learning disability, and equipment, such as wheelchairs and other disability aids.
UK church projects & buildings - including repairs, capital, construction, renovation and restoration), as well as black churches.
Animals and wildlife conservation - including animal welfare, rescue, sanctuaries, shelters and re-homing, dogs and equines.
Funding For NGOs - international development NGOs, including grant funding for non profit projects in Africa and another for NGOs in Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh
New UK trusts & foundations -  that many haven't heard about yet. 
Help Ukraine - grant funding for the Ukraine, a link to charities you can donate to, resources for those creating a fundraising appeal and a source of pro bono security advice for those who are working in the Ukraine.
