If you’re having trouble finding a charity in our search results, the
following tips might help:
Important note:
The nominations search engine links to the registered charities commission databases of the
UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, as well as a list of previously
nominated non-registered charities and CICs only.
General searching:
Using the registered charity number is the best way to ensure an exact match. This number
can be found on the charity commission website, or the charity’s own website.
Using the registered charity name should return the correct result or a list of close
matches. Take a look on the charity’s website to check the exact spelling.
If the charity you wish to nominate is either not registered or a CIC and is not appearing
in the search results, please click the ‘registration exempt’ tick-box and manually type in
the name of the charity.
General advice for registered charities:
If you have recently changed your charity’s name, please update it with the relevant
Charity Commission. It will be reflected in our nominations search engine during the next
available update.
If you’ve recently updated your information on the Charity Commission website, there might
be a delay in our nominations search engine reflecting these changes.
Please note that nominations for both the old name and new name will be merged together and
not effect your chances of being drawn.
General advice for non-registered charities and CICs:
To be included in our nominations search engine automatically, we need to see around 20
nominations for the same charity. Those meeting this criteria will be added to the
nominations search engine during the next available update.
