The public register of approved grants

See the grants a funder has approved and published, round by round, without signing in.

Last updated

A funder can publish the grants it approves on its portal's public register, at /register on the funder's own portal address. Anyone can read it: you don't need an account or to sign in. The funder chooses which grant rounds appear, one round at a time, so a round may not be on the register even when its grants have been approved. The funder may use its own word for a grant round or an Application.

What each grant shows

The page is headed with the funder's name, such as Riverbend Community Fund: public register of approved grants. On a tablet or computer the grants are a table, one row each; on a phone each grant is a card of its own. The register lists the newest grants first. Each one shows:

  • the recipient's name, and the title of their Application
  • Amount approved, or Not stated if the funder has not published the amount
  • Approved, the day the grant was approved, in the funder's time zone
  • the grant round it was awarded in
  • the fund it is paid from, and a short public summary, when the funder publishes them (in the table, a grant with no published fund shows —, and the summary sits under the Application title)
  • the classification terms the funder has coded the grant with, such as the subjects it supports and the beneficiaries it reaches, when the funder classifies its grants

Nothing else about an Application is on the register.

Narrow it to one round

The row of round names above the list narrows the register to one round. Select All Grants (or your funder's own word) to see every round again. The address in your browser changes with your choice, so you can share or bookmark the list you are looking at.

If nothing is listed, the register says No approved grants have been published. A grant comes off the register if the funder stops publishing the round or withdraws the grant.

This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
