Review workflow

What FundingLens helps you do

Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.

01

Check whether the opportunity accepts individuals, organisations or both and whether Grantium or another application route is required.

02

Record the creative or cultural purpose, public engagement, location, budget range and project length before treating the match as strong.

03

Keep demand caveats visible because eligible arts projects can still be unsuccessful when more good applications are received than can be funded.

Readiness checks

  • Applicant route and location checked.
  • Project purpose and public benefit are specific.
  • Budget and project length fit guidance.
  • Accountable person and bank evidence are ready.
  • Guidance version and source URL are saved.

Eligibility caveats

  • FundingLens explains fit signals, eligibility caveats and next steps; it does not promise funding success or application approval.
  • Always check the official funder page before acting because deadlines, match-funding rules and eligible costs can change.
  • AI output stays separate from verified source facts and needs human review before it is used in an application.
