How can I check when I’ll hear back from a funder?

Want to know a timeline of when to hear back from a funding application

Updated over 8 months ago

We don’t currently list decision timelines for each funder on Fundin. This is because response times vary significantly between funders and can change depending on the type of grant, application volume, and internal processes.

What should I do?

To find the most accurate information, we recommend checking the funder’s official website. They will often state their expected decision timeframe on the application guidance page or in their FAQs.

What’s typical?

As a general rule of thumb, most funders respond within 3 to 6 months after the application deadline or submission date. However:

  • Some fast-turnaround grants may respond within a few weeks

  • Larger or more complex grants may take 6+ months
