Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway (TSDG) has today launched an innovative new online platform aimed at helping third sector organisations across the region identify and access vital funding opportunities.
The TSDG Funding Finder, available now at https://funding.idoxopen4community.co.uk/tsdgfundingfinder, is a powerful, free-to-use tool tailored specifically to meet the needs of charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, and social enterprises in Dumfries and Galloway.
Developed in partnership with Idox Open 4 Community, the platform brings together a wide range of local, national, and UK-wide funding streams in one easy-to-search location.
With hundreds of funding programmes listed and updated regularly, the Funding Finder simplifies what can often be a complex and time-consuming task for already stretched organisations – allowing unlimited access to those registered to use it whenever and as often as they like. Simple but comprehensive how to guides and videos are also included in a Help and Advice section.
Finding suitable funding is one of the biggest challenges faced by third sector organisations, especially smaller groups run by volunteers. The new Funding Finder – available to organisations with an annual income under £1 million – is designed to remove some of those barriers, allowing groups to focus more on delivering their vital services and less on searching for support.

The platform allows users to search by area of work, type of funding needed, organisation size, and other key filters, making it easy to find opportunities that are directly relevant. Users can also register for free to receive email alerts, save searches, and stay updated with the latest opportunities.
In a region where the third sector plays a crucial role in delivering services, addressing inequalities, and enhancing community wellbeing, the Funding Finder can become an essential resource for sustainability and growth.
Key features for you to enjoy:
- Comprehensive listings – Hundreds of grant and funding opportunities from public, private, and charitable sources.
- Tailored search – Customisable filters to match your organisation’s needs.
- Regular updates – New funds and deadlines added frequently.
