The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

This Actor scrapes grant and funding opportunities with every field a grant researcher needs: sponsors, deadlines, award amounts, eligibility, geography, application process, and topics. Built for nonprofits, grant writers, consultants, researchers, and AI agents doing grant discovery, funding research, or grant matching pipelines. ### What it does - Enumerates the full funding catalog (about 1,200+ opportunities) via the site's sitemap, or filters by topic (cardiovascular disease, maternal health, diabetes, behavioral health, and dozens more). - Visits each opportunity page and extracts the structured record. - Parses award amounts and single unambiguous deadlines into machine friendly fields while always preserving the original raw text. - Optionally skips federal programs so you get only private, foundation, and corporate funding. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `topics` | array | Optional RHIhub topic slugs (for example `cardiovascular-disease`, `maternal-health-prenatal-care`, `access`). Empty = full catalog. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max opportunities to scrape. Default 50. | | `includeInactive` | boolean | Include opportunities flagged inactive on topic listings. Default false. | | `skipFederal` | boolean | Drop opportunities whose sponsor or CFDA number indicates a federal funder. Default false. | ### Output example ```json { "url": "https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/funding/5305", "id": "5305", "title": "Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health", "sponsors": ["Office of Minority Health"], "programUrl": "https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/...", "deadlineText": "Jul 13, 2026", "deadlineDate": "2026-07-13", "purpose": "This opportunity will support...", "eligibilityText": "Public or private nonprofit organizations...", "nonprofit501c3Mentioned": true, "geography": "Nationwide and U.S. territories", "amountText": "Award ceiling: $500,000 Award floor: $250,000", "awardMinUsd": 250000, "awardMaxUsd": 500000, "applicationProcess": "Links to the full announcement...", "topics": ["American Indian or Alaska Native", "Health workforce"], "cfda": "93.137", "likelyFederal": true, "inactiveOnListing": false, "contact": "Program staff contact...", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-02T18:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases - Grant discovery pipelines and grant matching tools for nonprofits - Rural health, public health, and community health funding research - Feeding an LLM or AI agent with current funding opportunities - Tracking new opportunities by topic on a schedule ### Honest limitations - Fields are extracted exactly as published on RuralHealthInfo.org. When the source does not state an amount or deadline, the parsed fields are `null` and the raw text field tells you what the page actually says. Nothing is guessed or fabricated. - `deadlineDate` is only filled when the deadline text contains exactly one unambiguous date. Multi stage deadlines (letter of intent plus application) stay in `deadlineText`. - The inactive flag only exists on topic listing pages, so `inactiveOnListing` is `null` in sitemap mode. - The scraper is polite by design (about 1.5 seconds per page), so a full catalog run takes roughly 35 to 45 minutes. ### Fair use This Actor reads publicly available pages allowed by the site's robots.txt, at a polite rate. Please respect RuralHealthInfo.org's terms and use the data responsibly. # Actor input Schema ## `topics` (type: `array`): Optional RHIhub topic slugs to filter by (for example: cardiovascular-disease, diabetes, maternal-health-prenatal-care, access, social-determinants-of-health). Leave empty to enumerate the full catalog via the sitemap. Browse all topics at ruralhealthinfo.org/funding/topics. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of funding opportunities to scrape. ## `includeInactive` (type: `boolean`): Only applies when topics are given (the inactive badge exists on topic listings). Default: skip inactive. ## `skipFederal` (type: `boolean`): Drop opportunities whose sponsor or CFDA number indicates a federal funder. Useful when you only want private, foundation, and corporate grants. ## Actor input object example ```json { "topics": [ "cardiovascular-disease" ], "maxItems": 25, "includeInactive": false, "skipFederal": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "topics": [ "cardiovascular-disease" ], "maxItems": 25 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("immense_greenery/rural-health-funding-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
