Why GrantNest ExistsMost funding platforms weren’t built specifically for CICs.
That means Community Interest Companies often waste hours searching through charity-only grants, irrelevant funding schemes, and opportunities they were never realistically eligible for.
GrantNest was created to reduce that wasted effort.
Every month, GrantNest filters and researches funding opportunities specifically for UK CICs, helping founders focus on realistic opportunities faster.
The goal is simple:
Help CICs spend less time searching and more time applying for funding that actually fits.

Finding relevant CIC grants shouldn’t take hours
