Inside Funds Online: New features, new insights, better fundraising

It’s a new year and DSC has big plans to bring the experience of our Funds Online subscribers to the next level. During 2026 and beyond we’ll be rolling out more updates, new content and fresh analysis to give your fundraising the edge.  

We know it’s a competitive environment out there. That’s why we’re bringing the brains and experience of DSC’s expert researchers to provide new features and services that you can only get by subscribing to Funds Online.   

In addition to key information on thousands of funding opportunities, here’s a taste of the new features and information you’ll get when you subscribe to Funds Online: 

1. Regularly added and updated new trusts. People set up trusts and foundations all the time, and if one pops up that matches your organisation’s priorities, you want to know about it. But many of them take some time to start making grants and some of them never will. We sift through the data and the financial track record to find those new trusts that look like they’re going to be good bets for the future. 
2. Email updates about grant-makers to watch. Even well-established grant-makers can change their strategies, priorities and practices. When they do, you want to know – especially if it’s one that funds in your area or you’ve applied to before. DSC’s expert team will send you our pick of the best new grant schemes and key application dates for your diary, to make sure you don’t miss those important deadlines! 
3. Fresh analysis on what’s going on with grant-making. As a subscriber you’ll get early or exclusive access to research, top tips and analysis from our expert team. We’ll bring you information and data that can help you succeed, whether it’s to support your fundraising strategy or your next grant application.  

This is just the beginning. We’ve got much more planned. Current subscribers are now getting Subscriber Insider updates with the information above every month – subscribe today and you’ll receive the latest news, and funder updates straight to your inbox. Can you afford to miss out?
