How SmallWorks works
A simple process designed to connect small charities with the right support as quickly as possible.
For charities
Describe what you need
Visit the request form and describe your challenge in plain English. You don't need to know the right category or use any special language — just explain what your charity is facing and what kind of help would make a difference.
Get matched automatically
Our platform analyses your request and matches it against our network of support providers. It looks at the type of support needed, your location, and the themes in your request to find the most relevant providers for you.
Review your matches
You'll see a list of the most relevant support providers, each with a short description of what they offer and why they've been matched to your request. You can review each one before deciding who to contact.
Connect and move forward
Contact the provider that feels right for your charity. From there, you work directly with them to get the support you need. It's that simple.
For support providers
Create your profile
Sign up and describe the support you can offer. Tell us your areas of expertise, the causes you care about, and the regions you cover.
Get matched with charities
When a charity submits a request that matches your profile, you'll appear in their results. The better your profile describes what you offer, the more relevant your matches will be.
Offer your support
When a charity reaches out, you can review their request and decide whether to help. You're always in control of which opportunities you take on.
