Cabinet Office: Find a grant
Until recently, it wasn’t easy to apply for government grants. As an applicant, you’d have to search multiple sites and different government departments to find opportunities.
Yet often, the organisations and individuals most in need of grant funding are the ones most lacking the time and resources to search for them. The Cabinet Office (TCO) asked AND Digital to help make it simpler, faster and fairer to find government funding.
- A Discovery phase involving 60+ users helped us crystallise our ideas around the following elements:
- Creating a first-of-its-kind, one-stop-shop bringing all government grants together under one search tool
- Creating a national service that would be easy to use and meet the needs of users from government bodies to farmers to scientific researchers
- Enabling proactivity, so once search criteria are established, the system contacts applicants, so they don’t miss out
- Ensuring interoperability between myriad different government systems
