Switching from another grants database?
Fundsorter typically costs a fraction of established NZ grants databases – and unlike filter-based tools, it surfaces opportunities you didn't know to search for. Most customers who switch tell us they wish they'd done it sooner.

If you're looking for more bespoke, hands-on support, consider Funding HQ. Rather than a self-service grants database, Funding HQ pairs you with an experienced fundraising coach who helps you build strategy, identify funders, and strengthen your applications over time. Based in Hawke's Bay, it's a good choice for organisations that want human expertise - though it comes with a higher price point (from $350+GST/month) and a minimum six-month commitment.

Before you commit to a platform, these are the questions worth asking – of us, and of anyone else.

-
Yes - we only include funders who have contestable funding opportunities or are open to being approached by strategically aligned organisations

-
We constantly check and update our information to make it as accurate as possible. Our goal is to show you only high quality matches that are aligned to your mahi and needs, and where you are eligible to apply
