As part of the Sunny Balcony Group, FundFindrs supports Australian organisations to access government grants and secure R&D funding that underpin innovation, growth and long-term commercial success. 

With the R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) at its core, the FundFindrs team works alongside founders, finance leaders and executive teams to help translate innovation activity into tangible funding outcomes. By understanding each business’s strategic priorities and growth ambitions, relevant grants and other governmental funding programs can be identified and pursued with confidence. 

“Our role is to help businesses understand what’s possible and give them confidence in their funding pathway,” says Kate Downing, General Manager. “When funding is aligned with strategy, it becomes a powerful growth lever.” 

Funding Wins Across Diverse Sectors 

This strategic approach has helped businesses secure meaningful government support across a wide range of industries, demonstrating the diversity of available funding programs and the importance of aligning opportunity with business objectives. 
 

Recent examples of successful outcomes for FundFindrs clients have included: 

• MVP Grant — supporting a technology-focused business to accelerate development of an innovative logistics pricing platform. 

• Made in Queensland Grant — enabling an advanced manufacturer to scale operations in preparation for broader market opportunities. 

• Industry Growth Program — assisting an innovative deep‑tech business to scale its breakthrough communications technology and progress toward commercial deployment in Australia’s advanced manufacturing and industrial sectors. 

• Regional Event Fund — backing a major community event with funding to support local engagement and economic activity. 
• Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) — assisting companies to invest in international expansion and export growth. 
• R&D Tax Incentive — supporting an SME in the agricultural biotechnology sector to offset eligible R&D expenditure, including staff costs, biological inputs and field trial activities. 

Together, these grants help bridge the gap between ambition and execution — fuelling innovation, strengthening competitiveness and supporting broader economic participation not only in the Australia market but externally. 

Expanding Capability to Better Serve Clients 

With demand for funding support continuing to rise in recent months, the FundFindrs team has grown across both business development and funding delivery functions. This ensures clients receive tailored, end-to-end support through every stage of the funding journey. 
 

“Innovation doesn’t pause — and neither do we,” says Jen Manuel, General Manager. “Our focus is on staying ahead of the programs and requirements, so our clients can stay focused on building their business.” 

Looking Ahead 

Looking ahead, the focus remains on making funding more accessible, strategic, and empowering for Australian businesses. With the R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) at the centre of its services, supported by a growing range of grant programs, FundFindrs is well positioned to support organisations at every stage of growth. 

As part of the Sunny Balcony portfolio of companies, FundFindrs contributes to the group’s broader mission: enabling businesses with services that deliver meaningful, long-term impact.
