This case study outlines the collaborative efforts of Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council with Idox’s GrantFinder, which has become integral to the Council’s funding strategy. The Council, operating as a Metropolitan Borough in the West Midlands, provides a diverse range of services including public health and social services. The case study highlights three teams: the Public Health Team, the Parks Development Team, and Dudley Council for Voluntary Service (CVS), each focusing on different community needs. The Council faced challenges in navigating funding opportunities and sought a systematic solution. The implementation of GrantFinder provided a centralized platform with information on over 7,500 funding schemes, enhancing the efficiency of funding applications. Notable outcomes include unlocking significant funding for community groups and improving planning and support for various initiatives. The software has streamlined funding efforts, demonstrating its importance in enhancing the Council’s effectiveness in securing external funding opportunities.
