FundFinch digs through foundation tax filings, funder websites and grant calendars, then sends a short list of open opportunities that fit your mission, budget and location. Each one shows why you fit and links to its source.
No credit card. Your free mini-report arrives by email in about 3 business days.
Grant databases hand you thousands of listings. We give you the short list worth your time, and show the evidence behind each pick.
A 10-minute questionnaire covering mission, budget, location, programs and what you want funded, plus a few quick eligibility questions most databases never ask.
We find who funded organizations like yours in public IRS filings, then check every opportunity on the funder's own site: is it open, is there a real deadline, and do you plausibly qualify?
A ranked report (PDF and web) with 10–20 opportunities, a 90-day action plan, the funders already backing peers like you, and a calendar file with deadline reminders.
Here's an excerpt from a sample report for a rural youth-development nonprofit with a budget of about $700K. The organization is anonymized; the funders and filings are real public records.
| Funder / program | Amount | Deadline | Fit | Why you fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Ford Family Foundation: Good Neighbor Grants | Up to $20,000 | Always open | Strong | Rural community under 35,000; this funder has supported you five years running. |
| Spirit Mountain Community Fund: Small Grants | Up to $7,500 | LOI Dec 4, 2026 | Good | Your county is in its 11-county service area; education is a program area. |
| Robert D. & Marcia H. Randall Charitable Trust | Not stated | Pre-app Dec 15, 2026 | Good | Funded a peer youth club's teen workforce program; prefers Pacific Northwest applicants. |
| Charis Fund: Spring cycle | $2,500–$7,500 | Opens mid-Jan 2027 | Good | After-school and at-risk youth are named priorities; seed money for expanding programs. |
Every report also includes a one-page summary, a 90-day action plan, the funders that already fund you, a watch list of programs reopening soon, and a "check before applying" note on every listing.

FundFinch is a research service. We don't write applications, and we can't guarantee eligibility or awards. See the terms.
Databases give you search results. We give you a short, ranked list that's already been checked: each opportunity is open (or has a real upcoming deadline), fits your location and budget, and links to its source. We also show which foundations funded organizations like yours, taken straight from their IRS filings.
U.S. nonprofits with budgets under about $1 million and no full-time grants staff: food pantries, shelters, community arts, youth programs, free clinics and the like.
Public sources: foundation and community-foundation websites, IRS Form 990 and 990-PF filings (via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer), Grants.gov, and state and local funder calendars. Every listing shows its source and the date we verified it.
Your top 3–5 opportunities with deadlines and fit notes, plus one or two funders that recently backed organizations like yours. It's enough to judge whether a full report is worth it.
No. We do the research so your time goes to writing the strongest applications. Many clients hand the report to their volunteer or contract grant writer.
Tell us. If a deadline, amount or eligibility detail was wrong on the date we verified it, we'll fix it and re-send the report within 3 business days at no charge. Funders do change things without notice, so always confirm on the funder's site before applying.
We use it only to prepare your report. We don't sell or share it. See our privacy policy.
Tell us a little about your organization. We'll email your top opportunities within about 3 business days.
