How this directory works
Every record was checked against the programme’s own page — not against another list — and carries the date it was verified. Statuses mean what they say: “closed for this year” is a real programme between rounds, and “needs verification” marks a detail the official page would not confirm, stated on the record rather than silently trusted.
We are an accounting firm, not a broker: we keep books in the shape funders ask for, and applying stays yours — every listing links the official page to apply from.
Spot something stale? Programme pages change without notice — tell us via the contact pageand we’ll re-verify the record.
Funders read the books before the pitch
Most programmes above ask for financials — statements, runway, spend by category. We keep US books in that shape year-round, so applying is an export, not an archaeology project.
