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 applicant is a not-for-profit organisation, sports club, community group, charity, local authority, school or other accepted body.

02

Record governing document, accounts or bank evidence, committee independence, project start and completion timing, and community access.

03

Score projects against participation outcomes, inactivity, inequality and delivery evidence rather than treating sport keywords as enough.

Readiness checks

  • Applicant status and governing document checked.
  • Committee or director independence evidence available.
  • Project helps more people become active.
  • Costs and timing fit the fund.
  • Bank evidence, permissions and delivery risks are ready.

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.
