Grants.gov Federal Grant Opportunities – New Funding Alerts

New and forecasted US federal grant opportunities from Grants.gov: deadline, award ceiling and floor, total funding, eligibility, agency contact email. Filters + 'new since last run'. No API key.

Who it's for: Grant writers and consultants, nonprofits, universities research offices, SBIR-focused startups, and grant-alert newsletters.

Why this actor

• Official public API (https://api.grants.gov/v1/api/search2), so there's no scraping, no proxies and no key. It's fast and cheap.
• Clean, flat records with direct links, ready for a CRM, Sheets or Slack.
• New since last run: schedule it daily and get only new records, which makes it work as an alert feed.
• Pay only per result. Empty runs cost almost nothing.

Tips

• For alerts, schedule a daily run with newSinceLastRun: true, and give each saved search its own stateKey.
• Export as CSV, Excel or JSON, or connect through Zapier, Make or webhooks.

How to use

1. Click Try for free (or Start) — the form is pre-filled with a small working example.
2. Adjust the filters and Max results, then run. Most runs finish in under a minute.
3. Open the Output tab to view the table, or export CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull it via the API, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets or webhooks.
4. For alerts, save the input as a task, turn on New since last run, and schedule it daily or weekly.

What's new (October 2026)

• Deadline triage: every opportunity has daysUntilClose and deadlineUrgency (closing within 2 weeks / 45 days / later / forecast).

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.003 per opportunity ($3 per 1,000). A weekly alert of 40 new grants costs about $0.12. You only pay for rows you receive; a run that finds nothing costs almost nothing. Set Max results or a maximum cost per run to cap spend — the actor stops cleanly at the limit.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the official Grants.gov public API (api.grants.gov). No login or API key is needed.

How fresh is it? Live: Grants.gov search at run time.

Is it legal to use? The data is public government data (or public DNS records). You are responsible for how you use it, e.g. CAN-SPAM/GDPR rules when contacting businesses.

What happens if the source is slow or down? Requests are retried with backoff. If the source fails mid-run, results already collected are kept and the run finishes with a clear status message instead of crashing. The run also stops cleanly before its timeout.

Where is the run summary? In the key-value store record OUTPUT_SUMMARY (counts, filters applied, why the run stopped).

I need a field or filter that's missing. Open an issue on the Issues tab.
