The Community Action Funding Finder, powered by Idox Open 4 Community, has been relaunched for use of the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Bradford district, giving access to thousands of live funding opportunities.

The three-year agreement provides access to the Community Action Funding Finder and is entirely free for VCSE sector organisations to use.

Organisations can search for relevant funding, create funding lists and register for automated alerts, helping them identify opportunities that could support their work and bring vital investment into communities across the district.

Community Action is proud to be funding this service, investing historic funds designated to provide meaningful support to Bradford's VCSE sector. We believe the Community Action Funding Finder is exactly that opportunity, maximising impact and longevity.

Dr Soo Nevison, Chief Executive Officer at Community Action Bradford & District said:

"We are both proud and delighted to be able to bring this amazing resource back into use across Bradford and the district for the first time in over five years. Access to funding is so important to the sustainability of voluntary and community organisations, particularly at a time when organisations are working incredibly hard to secure the funding they need to continue delivering for their communities.

"We are also hugely thankful to Bradford Council for being willing to come to the table and enter into this partnership with us. The Council has made a real commitment by helping to make this service possible, and we see that as a strong and positive statement of support for the voluntary and community sector and its future.

"We are looking forward to seeing organisations across the district make use of Funding Finder and, hopefully, seeing new funding brought into Bradford as a result."  

Can my organisation get help with using the Funding Finder? 

Yes, we are holding a free information event on 8th December perfect for anyone new to using the Idox funding database to search for funding. Find out how to use it, and ask any questions you may have.
