Where does Grantsbase get its data?

We crawl official sources every day — Grants.gov, federal agency portals, the Federal Register, state grant portals and foundation listings — then de-duplicate and structure each opportunity. Read our methodology.

How often is the data updated?

Daily. New opportunities are added and closed ones are removed automatically, so listings reflect what is actually open right now. See how we verify.

Who can apply for grants on Grantsbase?

Grantsbase lists opportunities for nonprofits, small businesses, researchers, farmers, local governments and tribes. The match quiz filters opportunities to the ones your organization is eligible for.

Does Grantsbase write or submit applications for me?

No. Grantsbase helps you find and track the right opportunities; you apply directly on the funder's official site, which we link to from each listing.

How does the match quiz work?

You answer a few questions about your organization — entity type, location, focus area and project size — and we surface only the grants you are eligible for. Try the match quiz →
