Funding Centre eligibility types
Eligibility types describe who can apply for a grant.
In the Funding Centre, eligibility types are used to:
- Filter your search results
- Send you accurate grant alerts
- Tailor your EasyGrants newsletter
If your eligibility settings aren’t correct, you may miss out on funding opportunities or see grants that don’t apply to you.
