What We Do
Funding Research
We identify potential funding opportunities based on your nonprofit’s mission, programs, location and funding priorities.
Funder Matching
We look beyond the grant title. We examine what a funder has supported, where it gives, the types of organizations it supports and whether your nonprofit appears to be a realistic prospect.
Grant Opportunity Research
We monitor foundation, corporate and government funding opportunities and identify deadlines and eligibility requirements.
Funding Pipeline Development
Instead of giving you a massive spreadsheet of unrelated grants, we prioritize opportunities so you know where to focus your time.
Grant Preparation Support
Once you identify a promising opportunity, we can provide research and preparation support for letters of inquiry, proposals, budgets and supporting materials.
How We Find Funding
1. Understand Your Organization
We start with:
- Mission
- Programs
- Geographic area
- Population served
- Annual budget
- Funding needs
- Current programs
- Project goals
- Previous funding
2. Research Potential Funders
We research:
- Private foundations
- Family foundations
- Community foundations
- Corporate giving programs
- Government funding
- Local funding opportunities
- Program-specific grants
We use established nonprofit and grant research resources, including Candid and government funding databases. Candid provides access to extensive funder, nonprofit and grants data, while Grants.gov is the federal government’s central grant opportunity platform.
3. Evaluate the Fit
We look at:
Mission fit
Does the funder’s giving align with your work?
Geographic fit
Does the funder support your state, region or community?
Program fit
Has the funder supported programs similar to yours?
Organization fit
Does your organization appear to meet the funder’s requirements?
Funding fit
Is the likely grant size appropriate for your project?
4. Prioritize Your Opportunities
We categorize prospects:
A — Strong Match
Worth pursuing now.
B — Potential Match
Worth researching or cultivating.
C — Low Priority
Possible connection, but significant gaps exist.

Why We Don’t Charge a Percentage of Your Grant
We believe nonprofits should know exactly what they are paying for.
Instead of taking a percentage of an award, we use transparent project-based or subscription pricing.
You pay for the research, analysis and support we provide—not for the size of a grant award.
Start With a Funding Assessment
Tell us about your nonprofit, your programs and what you are trying to fund.
We’ll use that information to determine what type of funding research may be appropriate for your organization.
[Request a Funding Assessment]
Funding research does not guarantee that a nonprofit will receive a grant. Eligibility, application requirements and funding decisions are determined by individual funders.
