About Funds Online+

Funds Online is a subscription database run by the Directory of Social Change, a registered UK charity. It is split into four datasets: grant-making trusts funding organisations, company giving, government and EU funding, and trusts funding individuals. It is a long-standing choice for UK fundraisers who want detailed funder profiles.

Pricing: Each dataset is sold separately. A search summary of the Directory of Social Change page gives £475 + VAT for a one-year, one-user licence for registered charities, £560 + VAT for 2 to 5 users, £705 + VAT for 6 to 10 users and £935 + VAT for 11 to 15 users, with weekly access from £175 + VAT. Funds Online's subscribe page lists multi-dataset discounts of 10% (two), 15% (three) and 25% (four) but did not show the prices when fetched.
