Grant Intelligence
Searching for grants that fit, scoring the fit honestly, and tracking the ones you pursue through to reporting.

How the search works
Grant Intelligence searches the live web when you ask it to. It is not a database of opportunities that somebody loaded last year, and it is not a background crawler quietly running up costs. You run a search, it goes and looks, and it verifies and de-duplicates what it finds before showing you anything.
You can narrow by geography from international down to town, and by funding type. Searching narrowly and often beats searching broadly and rarely, both for the quality of results and for your allowance.
Reading a fit score
Each opportunity is scored against your organization on several dimensions rather than reduced to a single number with nothing behind it. Where the software cannot honestly judge a dimension, it says so and surfaces it for you to review rather than scoring it as settled.
Before you commit to an application, check three things the score cannot:
- Have they funded anybody like you? Not anybody in your field. Anybody your size, at your stage, in your area.
- Can you meet the reporting? A grant with quarterly outcome reporting you have no way to produce costs more than it pays.
- Does it need matching funds or a fiscal sponsor that you do not have?
The funder register
Alongside searching for opportunities, Grant Intelligence holds a register of funders built from their IRS Form 990 filings: their finances, the people on their board, the grants they made, and the patterns in their giving over time.
| Tab | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Opportunities | The pipeline of specific grants you are pursuing. |
| Funder register | Search funders and open a profile built from their filings. |
| Compare funders | Two or more side by side, on the same measures. |
| Watchlist | Funders you are tracking, with alerts when their filings change. |
A funder profile includes peer recipients: organizations like yours that this funder has actually paid, with what they received, how many grants, and whether they were funded again in a later year. Repeat funding is the signal worth the most and the one hardest to find by hand.
From opportunity to obligation
An opportunity you decide to pursue becomes tracked work. Its application deadline appears on your Deadline Board, pursuit tasks appear in your Action Center, and if you win it, the award becomes a confirmed source in your Revenue Portfolio with its reporting dates attached.
