What it is
CharityIQ is web software for UK charities that combines grant discovery, AI application drafting, compliance support, and impact reporting. Its Grant Finder matches registered charities with live opportunities using eligibility factors such as cause, beneficiaries, geography, income band, deadlines, and exclusions. Grant data comes from 360Giving, GrantNav, and direct funder feeds, refreshed daily. The AI writer drafts applications from charity data and funder criteria, links claims to sources, and supports editing and regeneration. A trustee sign-off workflow and audit trail support review before submission. Compliance tools include annual-return assistance, trustee-duty checks, deadline reminders, and drafting for SORP 2026-ready Trustees' Annual Reports. The impact dashboard supports NPC, IRIS+, Outcomes Star, and theory of change, with reports formatted as PDF, Word, or web links. Grant coverage is UK-wide, but automatic profile lookup currently uses the Charity Commission register for England and Wales; OSCR and CCNI lookups are roadmap items. The free Grant Finder provides live matches ranked by eligibility, with deadlines and award sizes. Starter costs £39 per month billed annually.
