Websites, Training and Resources

Funding News from SYFAB website
Alongside our printed Funding News publication, we also produce a Funding News website providing up to date news on funding opportunities. You can sign up for daily email updates or visit the site regularly to keep up to date with funding news. Visit the site here.

Online funding search
We are working on a new online funding search service that members of voluntary and community organisations can use to find possible funding opportunities for your activities. We expect to launch this by summer 2009. Keep an eye on Funding News or sign up to Danny's mailing list for the latest.

Guide to Funding Information Services
Our SYFAB Guide to Funding Information Services is freely available to everyone. This document has guides to the most useful websites and services offering funding information to voluntary and community groups. You can find it on the Funding News website.

Funding Resources Directory
This is a massive collection of free funding information sheets, guides and other resources available from various websites all over the place, all pulled together and categorised by Danny on a wiki. We ran a trial of this in spring 2009 and we'll work on the next phase in the summer.

Software

SIFT, the SYFAB Internet Funding Toolkit, was SYFAB's simple application that helps groups find funding information and get the best from the funding resources available on the internet.
It is no longer available because we are replacing it with our new funding news and funding search services.
