UK's first green funding website exclusively for businesses has been launched featuring more than £1.2 billion worth of funding programmes on its free online searchable database.

The Green Grants Machine (www.greengrantsmachine.co.uk) has been developed to help private sector organisations access the latest information on the funding which is currently available to improve their enviornmental performance and reduce their energy costs. It is the first time that much of the information has been available in a free online database instead of a subscription only basis.

Jeremy Phillips, Exectutive Director of j4b plc said of Green Grants Machine:

"For the last eight years j4b plc has helped people find out about business and community grants at www.j4bgrants.co.uk. We have kept an eye on the kind of support sought by over 180,000 of our members and have noticed a gradual rise in searches for 'environmental grants'.

"In response, we are delighted to be able to offer this entirely free-to-use environmental grants search facility. We have already found sponsors for the site, which enables us to offer all our data in this area free of charge to all users following a simple and brief registration. The whole team here is thrilled about this exciting new venture and is looking forward to helping the UK business community save the plant!"

The Green Grants Machine's funding content is delivered by an expert team of funding researchers. The information is updated daily and the website features more than 350 funding schemes available from local, regional, national and European sources. The website also includes advice in plain English about how any organisation can take simple actions to go green.

All of the information and services described are available completely free of charge.
