The official US federal funding database — every agency, one keyless API. Search live opportunities by keyword with amounts, deadlines, eligibility and contacts, or monitor your topics daily and get new-grant alerts the day an agency posts. No key, no login. MCP-compatible, agent-ready.
Why this exists
30,000+ grant writers, nonprofits, researchers, cities and small businesses hunt federal funding every week. Grants.gov has the data but a search UI from 2003: no alerts per topic, no amounts in results, hours of copy-paste. This actor exposes the same official API with clean records and a monitoring mode that replaces paid grant-alert subscriptions.
What you get per row
Opportunity number + title, funding agency, open/close dates, status, and for enriched rows: full program description, award ceiling/floor, estimated total funding, expected awards, cost sharing, eligibility, agency contact + email, and links (Grants.gov detail page + additional info).
Two modes
search — find funding right now
Results come from the official search API. Set enrichTop (0–20) to deep-enrich the first N rows with descriptions + dollar amounts + contacts.
monitor — never miss a new funding announcement
- Run 1 = free baseline — snapshots today's posted opportunities per query.
- Run 2+ emits only
new-grantrows for what was posted since. - Schedule daily (or weekly); a quiet cycle costs $0.001.
Recipes
- Grant-writer pipeline — Zapier/Make:
new-grant→ row in Sheets → email to the team. Replace a $30–100/month alert tool. - City talent — monitor "transportation", "infrastructure", "climate resilience" and auto-brief the finance office.
- AI-agent research funding — agents quote live federal programs with real agency contacts — not hallucinated URLs.
Data honesty
All rows come from api.grants.gov at run time. Amounts are as published by the agency (federal programs often publish no ceiling — the field is empty, not invented). Status filters include forecasted/closed for research on past awards.
