FunderFinder

FunderFinder GIN (Groups in Need) and PIN (People in Need) prompts grant-seekers to describe themselves and the work they are looking to fund in terms which can be matched with the criteria used by funders.

Coded into funderfinder is information about the criteria of over 4,500 funders. These are the trusts and foundations about which there is published information and which make grants to charities and voluntary and community groups.

Both retrieve funders that match the search profile entered by the grant-seeker, excludes those that are inappropriate, ranks the funders found in best match order and allows the user to consider 'near misses'.

A search produces a list of funders which can be saved, exported and printed out. To use this software please contact yorkcvs@yorkcvs.org.uk

Applications to Charity of Jane Wright and York Fund for Women and Girls

The following application forms can be used to apply to Charity of Jane Wright and York Fund for Women and Girls on behalf of individuals in York. The forms are designed to cover all the points that Trustees wish to know about and it is therefore important that you complete each section as best you can. Please print and photocopy the forms as required. Urgent applications to the Charity of Jane Wright for sums of less than £200, should be sent to Colin Stroud, York CVS, 15 Priory Street, York, YO1 6ET. Applications exceeding this amount, which are not urgent, should be addressed to Mr Peter Baines, Clerk to the Trustees, 18 St. Saviourgate, York, YO1 2NS.  Applications to York Fund for Women and Girls should be sent to Jim Melvin, Clerk to the Trustees, York CVS, 15 Priory Street, York, YO1 6ET. Both these charities will not usually make cheques payable to an individual, and prefer to pay money to the organisation making the application, which will be expected to ensure the correct use of the money.
