Rounds ranks grants by how well they fit you - Product News

Rounds asks a few questions about who you are, where you work, what you fund and how much you need, then ranks grants by how well each one fits, with the reasons on each card.

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

  • A short profile, asked once. After you join, Find the grants that fit you asks three short sets of questions: who you are (your organisation type, the countries, state and councils you work in, or whether you work nationally), what you do (your topics and what you need funding for) and how much (the smallest and largest grant you are after, and the UN goals your work serves). You can skip it, and change your answers at any time under Settings › Your matches. If an organisation you act for or follow is already on Rounds, it offers to fill in what it knows.
  • Grants ranked by best match. With a profile, the grants directory sorts by Best match. Each card shows how well the grant fits, such as 80% match, and up to three reasons, such as Open to your organisation type or Your council.
  • New filters. The grants directory now filters by funding need, UN Sustainable Development Goal, council and remoteness, from major cities to very remote. Near me shows grants for your council, and you can widen it to the councils next to yours, and to the councils next to those.
  • Where a grant's money goes. A grant's page lists its region of benefit by place name, such as the councils or states it funds, as well as its funding needs and UN goals.
