Winning an Innovate UK Smart Grant

Abstract

"Charities are struggling with a global crisis of trust and stagnancy, which is causing a decline in donor support and funding....... 

To address this unmet need, Philanthrify is developing a platform that puts transparency at the forefront of the charity industry and bridges the disconnect between donors and the impact their donations have. Thus, regaining people's trust and levelling the playing field in the industry. By enabling charities to effectively fundraise from various foundations, wealthy philanthropists and masses of people they do not have access to normally, Philanthrify's innovation significantly increases the chances of funding for less well-known but high-quality charities. This will have a profound effect on smaller charities, who will now have a better chance of receiving the funding they need to make a real impact."
