About Aidfolio
Aidfolio makes free, private tools that help local and national organisations show the work they already do, and get a fairer deal from the partners who fund them.

Your answers stay with you
- Nothing is uploaded. The tools run entirely in your browser. There is no server that receives your answers.
- Saved on your device only. Answers are kept in your browser so you can continue later. On a shared computer, clear them when you finish.
- You own the file. Save your progress as a file and open it on any device.
- Visits are counted, people are not. Page visits are counted with a cookie-free service that never sees what you type.
Our rules
Independence
- Local organisations never pay.
- Paid work never changes what the free tools say or recommend, and no funder sees anyone’s answers.
- Every paying client and every amount is listed in a public monthly ledger.
- Aidfolio is not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible.
