“When capacity building repeatedly came up in our annual grantee surveys, I thought of Instrumentl. Subsidizing platform access for a cohort of our grantees was the easiest, most direct way to build their capacity and expand their grant pipelines.”

— Greg Price, President at The Gamble Foundation

Frequently asked questions

Do foundations use Instrumentl directly, or just their grantees?

Both. Some foundations use Instrumentl to research the funding landscape before making their own grants, or to vet alignment between their priorities and what funders are actually funding. Most use it primarily as a grantee capacity-building tool. We can help you think through the right model.

Can we offer Instrumentl as part of a cohort program?

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.

What does grantee onboarding look like?

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.
