Understanding eligibility checks

An eligibility check is a genuine read of the funder's published criteria — not a keyword match. Isla visits the funder's website, reads each requirement, and compares it against your charity profile.

  • You get a confidence score from 0–100%. 80% or higher with a positive verdict is apply-ready — these join your Eligible Pipeline
  • 65–79% is the review band: shown, but not yet recommended — usually a fuller profile settles it
  • Every verdict cites the specific criteria Isla found, clause by clause — open the lead and click ‘View Report’ for the breakdown
  • Checks run in scheduled processing batches, so a verdict can take a little while to appear after you request it — you don't need to keep the tab open
TipAlways double-check the funder's website before applying. The eligibility checker is a guide, not a guarantee.
