Congratulations on being awarded a grant from Moorfields Eye Charity! Here’s our useful how-to guide for managing your grant with us.

The charity’s grants and research team are responsible for both the processing of grant applications and management of awards. 

From 16 October 2024 we have been using the Flexigrant grant management system for all our applications.

All applicants and grant holders need to be registered in the charity’s version of Flexigrant, and are able to apply for or manage grants and make change requests within the system.

Make sure you have added Flexigrant to your Safe Senders list so that our messages are not sent to your spam / junk folders. For instructions on how to do that click here.

Do not create a new account if you are unsure if you have one, please contact the grants and research team to confirm: moorfields.eyecharity.researchgrants@nhs.net.
