How Grantsbase works
Grantsbase is a free, daily-updated database of grants, loans, cost-shares and tax credits from federal agencies, state programs and foundations. We collect funding opportunities from official sources, structure them so they're easy to filter, and hand you a clean path from "I need funding" to "I submitted my application." Here's exactly how it works.
1. Search — find the right opportunities
Start at Search. Every one of our 6,294 open opportunities is filterable by the things that actually decide whether a grant is worth your time: industry, state, funding agency, deadline window, and award amount. You can also browse by industry, by state, or by funding agency if you'd rather explore than search.
Each listing shows the funder, the amount range, the deadline, and a plain-English eligibility summary — so you can rule a grant in or out in seconds instead of reading a 60-page notice first.
2. Match — see only what you qualify for
Most "grant databases" bury you in thousands of opportunities you'll never be eligible for. Our match quiz asks a few quick questions about your organization — entity type, location, focus area, project size — and surfaces only the grants that fit. It's the fastest way to go from "there are too many" to "here are the five I should actually pursue."
3. Apply & track
When you find a grant worth pursuing, the listing links straight to the funder's official application. Save the ones you're working on and keep them organized on your applications board — a simple tracker so deadlines never sneak up on you and nothing falls through the cracks.
Where the data comes from
We crawl official sources — Grants.gov, federal agency portals, the Federal Register, state grant portals and foundation listings — every day. Opportunities are de-duplicated and refreshed automatically, so what you see reflects what's actually open right now. Read more about our methodology and how we verify each listing.
Is it really free?
Yes. Searching, matching and tracking on Grantsbase is free. See our pricing page for the full picture.
