Funding Sources
You can now use the Open 4 Funding databases to search for funding for your project. This consists of two separate sites: Open 4 Community and Open 4 Business to assist both voluntary and commercial operatives in the city to find funding. These databases take you through a series of simple questions about your organisation and the things you need funding for. It will then produce a list of funders with information about their funding criteria and their contact details. To keep your information confidential you will need to register first on line and obtain your unique password.
