Before you can apply for support through FundingConnect, you'll need a free account. This article walks you through creating one and starting your first application.
Step 1
Click the link to the application. This might be:
- A link on your local authority or charity's website
- A link in a text message
- A link in an email
You'll be taken to the start page for that scheme.
Step 2
Click Start application.
Step 3
If you don't have an account yet, click Create an account.
💡 Tip: If you've applied through FundingConnect before, you can log in with your existing details — you don't need a new account for each scheme.
Step 4
Enter your:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
- Mobile phone number
Step 5
Read the terms and conditions, tick to agree, and click Register.
Step 6
You'll then be asked to set up two-factor authentication. This is mandatory and helps keep your account secure. See How to set up two-factor authentication for full instructions.
