What people say...
“Our subscription to the Funding Centre has helped reach out and support community organisations that would otherwise have missed out on available funding opportunities. Implementation of SmartySearch was seamless with minimal IT support required. The service is invaluable not only in providing free access to hundreds of funding opportunities but also helps build capability of new grant seekers within Cumberland.”
“Previously we would spend time searching alternative options for clubs or organisations, but SmartySearch alleviates that necessity. It has also been helpful by being able to provide an option for schools, religious organisations and businesses, that we normally wouldn’t be able to support. The implementation process was easy to navigate, our website coordinator had no issues embedding the platform into our website, and subsequently, it is simple to use.”
“As a Council we want to support our community groups, sporting clubs and organisations as much as we can however due to limited budgets we simply can’t provide as much funding as we would like. SmartySearch has enabled us to continue to support organisations in accessing external funding to deliver initiatives that benefit our communities and community members. The implementation process was very easy to understand and navigate. The SmartySearch team was very supportive in helping us set up our platform.”
