Grant Opportunity Finder: US Federal Grants with Deadlines

Search live US federal grant opportunities and get one clean JSON row per grant: opportunity number, title, agency, open and close dates, award ceiling and floor, estimated total funding, eligible applicant types, funding categories, a plain-text description, the application link, and the agency contact email when published. Reads grants.gov's official public API: no key, no login, no browser.

Built for grant writers and consultants, nonprofit development teams, universities, hospitals, municipalities, and startups hunting SBIR-adjacent funding. Turn on cross-run dedupe, put it on a weekly schedule, and each run returns only newly posted grants matching your profile — the alert that discovery platforms charge $179+/month for.

What you get

One row per opportunity, with:

• opportunityNumber, title, agencyCode, agencyName, status
• openDate, closeDate (application deadline), docType
• awardCeiling, awardFloor, estimatedFunding, expectedNumberOfAwards, costSharing
• applicantTypes (who can apply), fundingCategories, fundingInstruments, cfdas
• description (plain text), agencyContactEmail, agencyContactName
• url (grants.gov detail page), matchedKeyword, scrapedAt

Input

• keywords (one search per keyword, merged and deduplicated)
• oppStatuses (posted = open now, forecasted = announced but not yet open)
• agencyCodes (e.g. NSF, HHS, USDA, ED)
• fundingCategories (e.g. ED Education, ENV Environment, HL Health)
• eligibilityCodes (e.g. 12 = 501(c)(3) nonprofits, 20 = private universities, 22 = for-profits)
• includeDetails (award amounts, eligibility, description, contact email; default on)
• maxOpportunities (default 25, up to 1000)
• dedupe (skip previously returned grants; built for scheduled alerts)
