Because the £49 buys far more than a draft. CharityIQ grounds every application in your charity’s data and cites it, then handles your Charity Commission annual return and your impact reporting — the work that keeps funders saying yes. FundRobin stops at matching and drafting. And if you only want matching, CharityIQ’s Grant Finder is free forever.
FundRobin advertises 5,000+ UK funders. CharityIQ’s free Grant Finder matches from 360Giving, GrantNav and direct funder feeds, refreshed daily — and ranks by genuine eligibility, not keyword overlap.
If your only job is cheap grant matching, yes. If you also need compliance, impact, audit trails and AI that won’t invent statistics, CharityIQ is built for the whole cycle.
Yes. Every draft is grounded in your real Charity Commission profile, past applications and local statistics, and cites each figure — so there are no invented numbers and nothing to embarrass you in front of a funder.
No — it covers the three jobs that win and keep funding: grant writing, Charity Commission compliance (annual return and SORP 2026) and impact measurement, in one place, instead of stitching together a free bid writer, a spreadsheet and a reminder you forgot to set.
Yes — UK funders, UK regulators, UK pricing and SORP 2026 are built in. It is made by founder Ivan Siyanko, who runs a UK charity, rather than a global tool you have to bend to fit.
Yes. Every output is logged with its sources and waits for human sign-off, so trustees, funders and the Charity Commission can see exactly how each answer was reached.
