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 fund is controlled nationally, locally, through a lead authority, or through a partnership delivery route.

02

Map the project to intervention types such as community spaces, town centres, local business support, skills, infrastructure, pride in place or net zero.

03

Record planning, permissions, procurement, match funding, community support and delivery capacity before scoring fit.

Readiness checks

  • Place and eligible geography confirmed.
  • Lead applicant and partner roles understood.
  • Intervention category matched to source wording.
  • Permissions, procurement and match risks logged.
  • Community evidence and delivery timetable prepared.

Eligibility caveats

  • Many regeneration funds are routed through local authorities or partnerships, not direct open grants.
  • A project can fit policy aims but still be ineligible for the current local route.
  • Deadlines and delivery windows can be constrained by programme phases.
