Free Funding Search tools on the web
From the end of April 2014 we are no longer able to offer access to the Funding Search tool through CHAINS - due to us no longer having the funding available to offer this subscription based service.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
CHAINS will continue to offer all the other free downloadable content on offer in the support section of the website.
If you are looking for funding we will point you in the direction of other free online resources that offer free funding search tools.

Provide access to the same funding database we used on CHAINS. However, the user interface is different from what you will have used on CHAINS website so may take you a little while to adapt. Please note you will need to register through their website to access the service – but it is free. Find out more at: http://www.scvo.info/local-vcs-intelligence/funding-portal/
