Grant Matcher: federal grants that fit your organisation

Tell it what your organisation does. It reads every open and forecast federal grant on Grants.gov that your type of organisation can apply for, and returns the ones that fit. Each comes with the reasons, the things to check first, and the deadline. It also lists the close calls it left out, and why, so you don't spend hours on grants you can't win.

What you get

• Matches, ranked by fit (0–100). Each one says:
  • which of your words it mentions;
  • whether your organisation type is eligible;
  • the deadline and how many days are left;
  • the award range and number of awards.
• Check first: cost sharing, "Others" eligibility that needs reading, short deadlines, and awards bigger than you said you can manage.
• Close calls we left out, with the reason (these are free):
  • forecasts that aren't taking applications yet, so you can watch for them to open;
  • grants where a nonprofit can only join as a partner to the lead applicant;
  • grants that share only one word with your keywords;
  • programs for work abroad;
  • programs limited to another region (Great Lakes, Colorado River Basin and so on);
  • research grants when you provide services;
  • deadlines too soon;
  • eligibility limited to other kinds of applicants.
• A readable report.html in the run's key-value store, plus the results as a dataset (JSON, CSV or Excel).

  "orgType": "nonprofit-501c3",
  "mission": "We restore wetland and streamside habitat for native fish and wildlife in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, working with private landowners and volunteers.",
  "keywords": ["habitat restoration", "wetland", "watershed", "wildlife"],
  "state": "OR",
  "maxAward": 1000000
}

Pricing

You pay per matched grant returned. Close calls, input errors and runs with no matches cost nothing. Set Maximum results, or a spending limit on the run, to cap the cost. If the limit is reached, the run stops and says so.

What it doesn't do

• It covers federal grants listed on Grants.gov only. It doesn't cover state, local or foundation grants, which are often where local service organisations find most of their funding.
• It doesn't guarantee eligibility, and it doesn't write applications. The agency's notice is the authority. Always read it before applying.
• The fit score is our judgement of how well a notice matches what you described. It isn't a prediction of winning.

Run it every week

Schedule it weekly with the same input to catch new notices as they post. Forecasts become open notices and deadlines move.
