What other Nonprofits say

5 stars

“I can remember when I did this at the beginning of my career, printing out the grantee lists from the 990s and going through with a highlighter. Out of 100 grants, there were only two that were viable. Now it’s all in Instrumentl…Instrumentl has been a game-changer”

This isn't a grant search. It's the foundation of a funding strategy.

The old way

Prospecting the old way meant choosing between "too many" or "too few." Hundreds of opportunities to cull through; multiple sources to cross-check. Or a handful results that might work, and a lingering concern: "What am I missing?"

Overlapping alert-style boxes with different background colors and exclamation icons, containing phrases such as 'Grant isn't a bad', 'Static matches that don't update', 'A list of results to sort manually', 'Keyword search across scattered sources', and 'Hours on 990s and funder sites' on a light beige background.

Frequently asked questions

How is Instrumentl Discover different from a general-purpose AI like ChatGPT?

General-purpose AI doesn't have verified grant data. Instrumentl's grant experts actively maintain an always-growing database of active grants and 450k+ funder profiles with accurate deadlines and current priorities. Instrumentl is built so you can act on what you find, with funder context, giving history, and award data are already built in.

How does Instrumentl figure out which grants are a good match?

Yes, it's one of the most effective ways to structure it. Ask us how other foundations have built Instrumentl access into their grantee support packages.

How current is the grant data?

Instrumentl's customer success team handles it. Each grantee gets onboarding tailored to their org size and grant practice, plus ongoing access to guides, templates, and training resources.
