Fundsorter is an easy, friendly tool that helps charities find and apply for grant funding opportunities that are strategically aligned and meet their needs.

The Fundsorter team is building an extensive database of grant funding opportunities in New Zealand and a discovery and matching engine that can match you with funding opportunities based on strategic alignment, timing and criteria.

With opportunities identified, Fundsorter then generates unique, contextually relevant applications that answer funder questions and meet funder requirements.

You simply review, edit and submit.

The goal of the tool is to reduce the time community spends on funding applications by 90% and help ensure funders are receiving great applications from strongly aligned organisations.

The tool launched in March 2025 and operates as a subscription service, from $35 per month. Sign up at www.fundsorter.com
