Meet the Team

Granted Giving started with close friends catching up over coffee. One venting about the unfair struggles one of his small charity clients was facing at the time, the other asking why charities spent so much time researching grants. This was the lightbulb moment that led us to start Granted Giving the very next day: the realisation that together, we had the knowledge and expertise to build something that did not exist yet, and would make a meaningful difference to the 180,000 charities who make up the foundation of our society.

Estimated to save the UK charity sector £500m in time efficiency alone (1 day p/w for most Trust Fundraisers) we are excited to introduce the next real innovation in Trusts Fundraising, our AI trusts research platform custom-built with Trusts fundraising expertise at its heart.

Mission & Values

Human-Led. AI-Powered

Granted Giving is proudly 'fundraiser first, AI second'. That means our platform is (literally) built on real-world expertise from charities, fundraising professionals and partners you can trust. That's also why you will never see us develop a wholly AI grant writing tool - because we know raw human emotion and nuance is vital for success in trusts fundraising.

Levelling the Playing Field

Larger charities have entire research teams - that's how valuable it is to find and stay updated with funders. With Granted Giving, every charity can now get intelligently matched to all 20,000+ funders instantly, ranked for relevancy, ensuring the highest chances of success and empowering fundraisers to use their time wisely.

Equity and Efficiency

From grassroots groups to national institutions, every charity deserves the best tools to serve their mission. That's why we built a platform that was fully accessible from day 1, and ensure every charity has more time to make a bigger impact.

Built by Fundraisers, for Fundraisers

Co-founder Konna has helped NGOs all over the world raise £100m+ so far and continues to today. It is these real-time insights, alongside our trusted partners network, which drives every decision we make.
