Grants · R&D · CSR · Fellowships
Three questions. A short list that fits, with the reasons.
Where are you right now?
Early money is about proof: a prototype, a pilot, a first group of users. Prizes, fellowships and small grants are built for this stage, and the applications are usually lighter.
You know the people and the gap. Programme grants, fellowships and donor support back teams who are close to the problem and can show how they’ll reach it.
You have evidence. Now you need capacity. R&D funding, CSR partnerships and larger grants help you grow without giving up equity.
Going global takes partners as much as money. Multilateral programmes, industry R&D and international prizes open doors in new markets.

Finding your opportunities
Checking every open call against what you told us.
Opportunities identified for you
Please check before you act. We update opportunity information as often as we can, but providers can change or close a call without notice. Always confirm the details, deadline and eligibility on the provider’s own portal or with their help desk. Any decision or application is at your own discretion.
How we judge fit
Every suggestion goes through the same checks, in the same order. You can open any score and see exactly how it was made.
Read the full methodGood work gets funded in lots of ways, from research councils to company CSR budgets. We follow all of them, so you only describe your organization once.
Foundation, government and multilateral calls for innovation, research and social programmes.
Matched giving, donor circles and in-kind gifts open to registered charities.
Company social responsibility programmes that fund or co-run projects.
Stipends, mentoring and time for the people leading the work.
Competitions that reward a working idea, often open to any organization type.
Founders, researchers, teachers, engineers and field teams. Most of them don’t have a fundraising department. GoldenHelia does the searching for them.

GoldenHelia started inside Aerawat, a small tech and non-profit team building AI tools for autism and special education. Every time we went looking for funding, we ended up with dozens of open tabs, half-read eligibility rules and the same question each time: is this one actually for us?
It was exhausting, and we knew every team like ours was doing the same reading. So we built the tool we wanted. Tell it who you are once, and it does the looking and tells you why something fits. We started with our own field, disability and inclusion. It now covers innovation, research and impact funding of every kind.
The Aerawat team
We read funder sites, research councils, portals and newsletters every day, so you don’t have to. You get a short list, and each item says why it’s there.
List a grant, a research call, a CSR programme or a prize once. We show it to the organizations whose work fits it, so you read fewer applications that were never right for you.
We come from disability and inclusion work, so accessibility is where we start. Everyone gets the calmer, clearer product.
