The grant search problem
Grants.gov lists over 1,000 active federal opportunitiesat any given time. Most of them don't apply to your organization. Sorting through them manually takes hours — and that's before you've read a single Funding Opportunity Announcement.
The real cost of bad grant search isn't the time spent searching — it's the time spent writing proposals for grants you were never eligible for in the first place. That's the most common and most expensive mistake in grant development.
FundingDraft builds your organization profile once and uses it to filter every search automatically. You see only what you qualify for. Every result that reaches your screen is one you can actually apply for.

Frequently asked questions
How does FundingDraft find grants I'm eligible for?
FundingDraft uses your organization profile — entity type (nonprofit, small business, tribal), location, focus area, and annual budget — to filter results automatically. Federal grants from Grants.gov, private foundation grants, and state/local programs are all filtered against your eligibility before they appear in your results. You only see grants your organization can actually apply for.
Does FundingDraft search Grants.gov?
Yes. FundingDraft connects to Grants.gov and pulls active federal opportunities across all major agencies — HHS, HUD, USDA, DOJ, NEA, DOE, and 20+ others. Results are updated daily and filtered by your eligibility so you don't waste time on grants you can't win.
Can I find foundation and corporate grants, not just federal?
Yes. Beyond Grants.gov, FundingDraft includes a curated database of private foundation grants, corporate giving programs, state grants, and community foundation opportunities. Coverage is strongest for nonprofits; small business discovery is focused on federal SBIR/STTR and state economic development programs.
How is this different from searching Grants.gov directly?
Grants.gov has over 1,000 active opportunities at any given time, with limited eligibility filtering and no AI-assisted matching. FundingDraft filters the full database against your organization profile and ranks results by relevance, deadline urgency, and estimated fit. You spend minutes reviewing matches instead of hours searching manually.
What happens after I find a grant I want to apply for?
Save it to your pipeline with one click. FundingDraft tracks the deadline, reminds you as it approaches, and lets you start drafting directly from the discovery view. You can generate any section of the proposal — needs statement, goals, evaluation plan — using your saved organization profile. No context switching, no copy-paste.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. FundingDraft offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can search grants, view matches, and draft one complete application before deciding whether to subscribe.
