We track a wide number of metrics for measuring your social impact, including number and type of people impacted, types of organisations supported, SDGs, outcome and impact.

We also believe that the stories behind your funding are just as important as the numbers, which is why we ask non-profits to provide at least 2 photos, video or text updates from each project during delivery, and a comprehensive impact survey once the project is completed. This also allows you to track the delivery progress of the project in real time.

You can then export this impact data to use in reports, on marketing channels or to upload to an impact calculator. All usage licenses and permissions are included in our T&Cs .

If you know your fund criteria, your beneficiaries and have your dates ready, you can launch a fund in minutes! We do ask for 24 hours to check and approve funds before they go live but with the right information, a fund can all be ready to launch in just 4 clicks.

Yes. We have a specific ‘Data Only’ option that lets you quickly filter thousands of community projects by location, theme, beneficiaries, non-profit type and funding amounts. That means you can zoom in on local social value delivery partners who are ready to engage with you, and download rich data to help shape your strategy and power your proposals. It costs from £250 per month.

Yes, ActionFunder uses AI to power core features like smart matching and project shortlisting. Our AI capabilities help streamline grant management and optimise impact delivery. However, we work hard to implement this technology thoughtfully, only where it adds real value, and with a human-centric approach, ensuring it enhances – not replaces – thoughtful, values-led decision making.

Yes, ActionFunder maintains FCA compliance through our payment partner, Stripe, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
