While FDO puts the onus on you to identify good-fit funding opportunities, Instrumentl’s smart grant matching instantly pairs you with grants that best align with your funding need.
Set up your project filters once—including fields of work, desired grant size, and geography—and Instrumentl will continuously curate the most relevant active grants from over 500,000 public and private funders.
The result? 1.5x grant output and 3 hours saved per funder every week.
Instrumentl digests the cumbersome 990 reports into bite-sized pieces at a level of granularity FDO can’t match.
Discover funders’ average award size by category, the geographic distribution of past grantees, and if they've supported organizations like yours in the past at a single glance.
While FDO provides only grant discovery, Instrumentl brings grant discovery, tracking, and reporting to one place to be your institutional fundraising platform.
Receive weekly emails of all your upcoming deadlines and when funders change priority or submission requirements. With the Grant Calendar Tracker, slice your grant pipeline by year, application stage, and project and stay on track with your organizational goals.
Instrumentl also provides connectivity to Salesforce, Outlook, and Google Calendars to easily integrate into your existing workstreams.
On Instrumentl, there is room for everyone. Assign tasks and set up automatic deadline reminders for yourself and your team to submit LOIs and other reporting requirements.
Keep your board informed with customizable CSV and PDF reports of your saved grants you can create in minutes.
This may seem like a lot of options—and it is! But Unlike FDO, Instrumentl has an intuitive user interface anyone can master in an hour or less.
"I’m a grant writer for a few different nonprofits and I’ve used FDO, Foundation Search and GrantStation—Instrumentl is my favorite. Instrumentl is well-designed and easy to use. I can easily organize multiple prospects lists and I love being able to quickly save prospects + store my notes."
