Federal Grants Search: Grants.gov Grant Opportunities

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Grants.gov, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or any federal agency.

Search open and forecasted US federal grant opportunities and export them as one row per grant. It's for nonprofits, researchers, small businesses, grant writers and consultants who want a filtered list with deadlines instead of checking the site by hand.

Input: keywords, and optional filters for agency, funding category, eligible applicant type, status (forecasted, posted, closed, archived), posted and closing date ranges, and a maximum number of results.

Output: opportunity number and title, agency, status, posted and close dates (estimated dates for forecasts), award ceiling and floor, estimated total funding, expected number of awards, cost sharing, eligibility, funding categories and instruments, ALN (CFDA) numbers, description and a link to the listing.

Data comes from the public Grants.gov API. Always check the full notice before you apply.
