Guides for browsing and contributing
- A short guide explains search, saved listings, adding deadlines to your calendar, and tracking suggestions.
- A contribute page walks through how simple it is to suggest a grant, including paste-and-fill help and the contributor leaderboard.
Suggest with AI, and thank contributors
- When you suggest an opportunity, you can paste text from a funder’s page and we will help fill in the form (signed-in, with a daily limit).
- Listings can show who added them when the contributor chose to be named.
- A public contributor leaderboard thanks people whose suggestions we accepted.
Grant Finder newsletter
- Subscribe from the footer for occasional updates on funding opportunities (confirm by email).
- Optional Charity Finder newsletter when you sign up or subscribe.
- Clear unsubscribe options for Grant Finder, Charity Finder, or all Shared Data marketing.
Easier browsing and sign-in
- Magic-link sign-in now returns you to the page you were trying to open (for example Saved opportunities).
- On phones, Filters, Saved, and Sort sit more comfortably on one line at the top of the directory.
- Funder-type filters match the listing counts more accurately.
- General polish so the directory, Saved, and Suggest flows feel more consistent.
Smoother sessions for signed-in visitors
- Public pages load with less unnecessary waiting, so browsing the directory should feel snappier.
- Sign-in and personal areas (such as Saved) keep working as before while public browsing stays light.
Opportunities can list several funders
- A single funding opportunity can now show more than one provider when a programme is offered jointly.
- Admin tools make it easier to attach multiple organisations when adding or editing listings.
- Quick-fill from pasted text better recognises several organisation names at once.
Richer opportunity details and analytics
- Opportunity records can capture more automatic suggestions for missing fields, so listings can be completed more consistently.
- Analytics gained clearer ways to explore funding-related activity alongside existing tables.
- Data kept for review is easier for the team to update without republishing whole listings by hand.
More past projects and clearer contacts
- HKEX Impact Funding Scheme projects can appear among past funded projects, with links where we can match organisations.
- Related and open opportunities are easier to spot when you only want grants still accepting applications.
- Contact emails on opportunity and provider edit screens behave more reliably.

- Provider pages and listing cards received design polish for clearer scanning.
- Community Chest and other analytics tables are easier to read.

Analytics tables and Charity Finder links
- Major analytics updates—including clearer tables for subventions and related funding data.
- Beneficiary and category filters stay aligned with the shared Charity Finder vocabulary.
- Links through to Charity Finder use cleaner address paths so organisation pages open more reliably.
Design refresh and shared taxonomies
- Visual refresh across the site, including a dedicated favicon and header branding.
- Sectors and beneficiary groups use the same terms as Charity Finder, so filters feel familiar across Shared Data tools.
- Provider management pages for editors are clearer when updating organisation details.
- Search engines can better understand public pages (titles and descriptions).
Provider pages and your saved list
- Each funder can have its own provider page listing their opportunities.
- Signed-in visitors can save opportunities and revisit them on a dedicated Saved page.
