  • Information on over 4,000 grants, loans and other incentives.
  • Rapid identification of funding sources specific to your organisation or project.
  • Wide range of funding opportunities.
  • Up-to-date, accurate information.
  • Easy to use.
Grantnet is a user-friendly service, which has been devised to assist organisations and individuals in identifying the funding sources available for specific projects, and Tendring District Council has subscribed to the resource. All users need to do is answer a few simple questions about themselves and the project which they wish to undertake; Grantnet will then provide an overview of all the schemes available.

Grantnet is an additional service provided by the market leading grants database, Grantfinder, which was established in 1985, and has become the industry standard. It is recognised as the most comprehensive and up-to-date database of grants, loans and other incentives operating in the UK. Currently it holds details on over 4,000 initiatives administered by a variety of funding providers, including the European Commission, UK Government Departments, local government, major charitable trusts and corporate sponsors.

Once you have registered with Grantnet, you will be e-mailed a password which will allow you to gain access. Having logged into the system you must answer a few simple questions about your organisation and the project which you wish to undertake; Grantnet will then provide an overview of all the schemes available.

If you have any queries please contact the Community Services Co-ordinator on 01255 686182 or e-mail cellington@tendringdc.gov.uk.
