| Intended users | The Grant Finder is built for small charities without a fundraising team, and the compliance feature is described as built for small and mid-sized charities without a dedicated finance team. | The site describes use by communities and local governments, implementing entities, donors and investors, government oversight bodies, and suppliers and contractors. |
| Security | The maker says customer data is stored on AWS London servers, encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and is not used to train AI models. | The trust page says the database uses row-level access controls for tenant isolation, traffic is encrypted in transit with HTTPS/TLS, and authentication uses Supabase with session and CSRF protections. |

In their own words
CharityIQ
CharityIQ is web software for UK charities covering grant discovery, AI-assisted application drafting, compliance and impact reporting. Its Grant Finder matches registered charities with live opportunities using factors such as cause, beneficiaries, geography, income band, deadlines and exclusions. Grant data comes from 360Giving, GrantNav and direct funder feeds and is refreshed daily. The AI writer drafts applications from charity data and funder criteria, links claims to sources, and supports editing and regeneration. A trustee sign-off workflow and audit trail support review before submission. Compliance tools include an annual-return co-pilot, trustee-duty checks, deadline reminders and drafting for SORP 2026-ready Trustees' Annual Reports. The impact dashboard supports NPC, IRIS+, Outcomes Star and theory of change, with reports formatted as PDF, Word or web links. Grant coverage is UK-wide, while automatic profile lookup currently uses the Charity Commission register for England and Wales; OSCR and CCNI lookups are roadmap items. The free Grant Finder supplies live matches ranked by eligibility. Paid plans start at £39/mo billed annually.
