Open 4 Funding provides a suite of public-facing funding search portals designed for organisations who support the local business and voluntary sector communities. It enables local groups and businesses to ‘self serve’ and search for their own funding at the point they need it, removing the requirement for any involvement from the host organisation but still allowing it to capture statistics on areas of interest in the local community and measure return on investment.
The Open 4 Funding suite incorporates the following portals:
Open 4 Business – enables businesses to search for EU, Government and local authority-provided grants, loans, venture capital funds and tax credits.
Open 4 Community – empowers charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises to search for Government, Lottery and charitable trust funding.
Open 4 Learning – lets adult learners search through all available grants, bursaries, scholarships and other funds on offer to gain new skills and qualifications.
