Sound familiar
Half the grants in your saved spreadsheet are unusable by the time you look at them.
A grant closed before you saw it. A foundation whose page moved. A family fund a colleague sent, restricted to universities. A state agency that requires a fresh audit. Every week, the same conversation with the Board.

What we did
The key ways we’ve simplified grant and funding discovery.
Obsession 01
Take things away.
349grants in the raw search
The most useful thing we do is take things away. A percentage you cannot interrogate is a percentage you cannot trust. Twelve grants that could fund you beats 349 ranked by a hidden formula.
Obsession 02
Match verdicts in plain language.
Good matchWorth a lookLong shotLikely ineligible
Why
Health, your size, CA. Their last 12 grants match this shape.
Every match names why it fits: your sector, your size, your state, and the funder’s own grant history. Language you can paste into a board memo without translation.
Obsession 03
Behavior over brochure.

What a foundation says in their brochure and what they do on their 990 are two documents. The 990 is the one that predicts what they will fund next.
Why us
Research-grade intelligence at a solo-fundraiser price.
Enterprise research platforms charge several thousand a year and assume you have a research analyst. Directory sites run a few hundred and hand you dead links. Funding Findr sits between: the funder depth of the enterprise tools at a price the person doing the work alone can carry.
3.69M
records of what funders gave, to whom
Twelve years of IRS 990s, parsed and joined. 30,000 published funders, keyed to your organization’s profile the first time you sign in.
Funders backing organizations like yours
Not funders that sound aligned. Funders that already wrote a check to a nonprofit doing your work at your size in your state.

Every open grant, checked daily
Dead links come off the list within 24 hours. You will not scroll to a 404. When the link fails, the grant is gone from your view, not buried on page five.

The outcome
You’ll feel more in control of your fundraising pipeline.
A pipeline you can talk about to your Board without hedging. Every grant on it is current, in scope for your programs, and sitting at the stage you last left it. Nothing rots between checks.

The founder
I built Funding Findr because I was looking for grants for my caregiver mental health nonprofit, and finding grants was harder than grant writing. The ones that did a good job of discovery were $300+ a month, and the ones I could afford looked like they were built in 1995. So I decided to solve my own problem, and hope that it helps you too.

FAQs
Search for the one on your mind. If it is not here, email us at hello@fundingfindr.co. We read every one.
How current is the data?
New grants are added and existing ones reviewed every week. Every open grant is checked on a daily link sweep. When a link goes dead the grant comes off the list within 24 hours.How do I know you cover funders relevant to my work?
30,000 funders, 950 open grants, 35 sectors, all 50 states. In your first ten minutes, search for a funder you already know. If we do not have the ones you would expect, find that out then, not in your third month.What if I am not a US nonprofit?
Funding Findr is US-only right now. The corpus is IRS 990 data plus US foundation open calls. If you fundraise outside the US, this is not the tool for you yet.Do you have team or multi-user plans?
Not yet. If you are a small team that wants to share access, email hello@fundingfindr.co with who you are and how you would want to use it.Can I try before I subscribe?
The first billing period is 50% off on either plan. Annual runs $99 year one, monthly is $12 month one. Applied at checkout. Cancel any time.What data do you use?
Twelve years of IRS 990s parsed and joined against every funder's actual grantee history, plus published open calls from foundation websites and portals. When a foundation says one thing in a brochure and does another on their 990, we show you the second one.How is this different from Candid, Instrumentl, GrantStation, GrantWatch?
Enterprise platforms are priced for institutions with a research analyst. Directory sites give you a list of links, some of which are dead. Funding Findr is the middle shelf that did not exist: research-grade intelligence at the price a one-person shop can carry. See the side-by-side comparisons at /compare.Cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you cancel mid-period you keep access through the end of it.
