Wilmslow, United Kingdom, November 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Idox Information Solutions has been collating information on funder feedback and reporting it through databases like GRANTfinder for the past 28 years. In September 2013, it conducted its first-ever funding survey. The resulting report outlines the findings of the survey, along with recommendations to funding applicants on how they can improve their chances of success.

Findings from the report include:

- The most common reason for failure was applicant eligibility, with 67% funders stating this as either common or very common. Other key reasons for failure were concerns about the viability of the applying organisation (64%) and cited activities being ineligible (61%).
- Poor standard of presentation was a reason for failure in 56% of funding applications.
- 8.9% of funders said it would be unlikely that their whole budget would be allocated in 2013.
- 60% of those funders said that this was because there were not enough applications.
