Public & Private Funding · Indexed Since 2026

Funding is allocated.
Most of it goes unclaimed.

$40B+ in federal grants expire unawarded each year. Not because the work isn't there. Because the right people never find the right program in time. We index, score, and match, so the program finds you.

Evaluation Framework

Every grant scored on the same six dimensions

We don't list grants. We score them, so you skip low-fit programs and focus on what you can actually win.

01 · Eligibility Match
Who qualifies
Hard requirements: entity type, revenue, geography, sector. A 100% match here is the gate. Anything else is wasted time.
02 · Award Size
Range & realism
Stated floor-to-ceiling award range plus the average actual award per cycle from agency reporting, not the headline maximum.
03 · Deadline
Cycle timing
Open/close dates and historical rolling cadence. We flag programs in their pre-NOFO window so you can prepare ahead.
04 · Competition
Acceptance rate
Applicants per award where the agency publishes it (USAspending.gov, Federal Register). High-competition programs are flagged explicitly.
05 · Complexity
Application load
Document count, narrative pages, audit requirements, matching funds. The honest hour-estimate, not the marketing one.
06 · Source Authority
Primary verification
Every grant page links to grants.gov, federalregister.gov, sam.gov, or usaspending.gov. We don't relay; we cite.

Editorial Standard

Who reviews every grant page on this site

Grant data drifts. Eligibility tightens. Deadlines slip. We publish reviewer, methodology, and last-verified date on every page so you know what you're reading and when it was last checked.

The standard we hold every grant entry to

Primary-source verification. Every grant in our index links to one of four primary sources: grants.gov (federal opportunity), federalregister.gov (Notice of Funding Opportunity), sam.gov (agency registration), or usaspending.gov (historical award data). We don't relay third-party lists.

Eligibility-first ranking. Grants are scored on the six-dimension framework, eligibility match is the gate, not the marketing headline. We flag programs that look applicable in copy but exclude most readers in the fine print.

Disclosed monetization. Affiliate commissions on grant-writing software and SaaS tools are disclosed on every page. We never rank a program higher because of an affiliate relationship, and there are no affiliate relationships with grant-issuing agencies, because federal and foundation grants don't run affiliate programs.
