Search active federal grants from Grants.gov. Filter by category, agency, funding amount, and deadline. Every result links directly to the official application.
The Grant Map connects directly to the Grants.gov Search API (v1), the same backend that powers the official federal grants portal. Every search you run queries the live database in real time, returning results from over 60,000 active funding opportunities posted by 26 federal agencies. There is no cached or scraped data involved. What you see is exactly what exists on Grants.gov at the moment you search.
When you enter a keyword, the API performs a full-text search across grant titles, descriptions, and synopsis fields. Adding a category filter (such as "Health" or "Education") restricts results to grants tagged with that CFDA funding category. The agency filter narrows results to a single department, and the eligibility filter shows only grants your organization type can apply for. You can combine all four filters simultaneously for precision targeting.
Results appear as interactive cards showing the posting date, close date, funding agency, and opportunity number. The deadline countdown calculates days remaining automatically and color-codes urgency: red for under 14 days, amber for under 45 days, and green for anything further out. Switch to the Deadlines view to see all results sorted chronologically by close date, grouped by month.
Every grant card links directly to the full opportunity page on Grants.gov, where you can download the complete Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), read eligibility requirements, and begin your application. No account with GrantProbe is required to use this tool.
Imagine you run a nonprofit that teaches coding to underserved high school students. You need federal funding to expand into three new cities. Start by typing "STEM education" in the search bar. Set the category to "Education," the eligibility to "Nonprofits (501c3)," and sort by "Deadline Soonest" to prioritize opportunities you can still apply for.
The results might show 40 to 80 active grants. Scan the agency badges to spot grants from the Department of Education, NSF, and NASA, all of which regularly fund STEM outreach. Click any card to open its detail panel, which shows the opportunity number, CFDA listing codes, and a direct link to the full NOFO on Grants.gov.
Switch to the Deadlines view to map out your application calendar. If three promising grants close within the next 60 days, you can plan your writing schedule accordingly. Each deadline row links to the same official application page, so you can move from discovery to submission without losing momentum.
The Grant Map is built for nonprofits, small businesses, researchers, local governments, tribal organizations, and anyone else seeking federal funding. You can search by keyword to find grants in your specific field, filter by one of 20+ funding categories, narrow results to a single agency, and limit by eligibility type to ensure you only see opportunities you qualify for.
The deadline calendar view lets you plan your grant-writing schedule across multiple opportunities at once. Every result links directly to the official Grants.gov listing, and the Resource Hub section below the tool connects you to SAM.gov registration, grant writing guides, and the SBIR/STTR program for small business innovation research.
Listings are live. Every search queries the Grants.gov API in real time, so results reflect the current state of the federal database. Grants.gov itself is updated continuously as agencies post new opportunities and close expired ones.
No. You can search, filter, and browse grants freely. However, to actually apply for a grant, you will need a Grants.gov account and an active SAM.gov registration. SAM.gov registration can take several weeks, so start early if you plan to apply.
Some grants are open to individuals, but most federal funding targets organizations: nonprofits, state and local governments, tribal entities, universities, and small businesses. Use the eligibility filter and select "Individuals" to see what is currently available for personal applicants.
The CFDA number (now called the Assistance Listing number) is a unique identifier assigned to each federal assistance program. It helps you track specific programs across multiple fiscal years and find related grants. You can look up any CFDA number on sam.gov for the full program description.
Grants marked "Rolling" or "Open" do not have a fixed close date. These opportunities accept applications on a continuous basis until the funding is exhausted or the agency decides to close the solicitation. They can disappear without warning, so apply as soon as you are ready.
No. This tool searches only federal grants posted on Grants.gov. State grants, foundation grants, and corporate funding programs are managed through separate systems. For state-level opportunities, check your state government's grant portal.
All grant data is sourced from the Grants.gov public API, operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of all federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov serves as the single access point for over 1,000 federal grant programs across 26 agencies including HHS, NSF, DOE, DOD, USDA, EPA, and NASA.
Grant metadata displayed in search results (titles, agency codes, posting dates, close dates, eligibility types, and CFDA numbers) is transmitted directly from the API with no modification. We do not rank, score, or editorialize grant listings. The "days remaining" countdown is calculated client-side based on the close date provided by the API and your local system time.
