A foundation's mission statement can sound like a perfect match. Its actual grants often tell a different story: other causes, other states, bigger or smaller checks.
Research, a concept note, a cover letter, a budget. When the funder was never going to say yes, that time is gone, and it's time a small team doesn't have.
A consultant or a funder database can cost thousands before you know whether a single foundation is a real fit for your program.
Talk it through with the mic, fill in a short form, or upload a program document you already have. Sam reads it back to you (“Here's what I heard”) so you can fix anything before the search.
Up to 10 US foundations you can approach in the next 3 months, each with the past grants that show the fit. Foundations that only fund by introduction are listed separately, and your matches refresh as new deadlines come into the window.
Sam asks a few questions about your program once, then drafts a concept note and introduction email for each funder you choose. Anything missing is marked [ADD] or [CHECK], never made up. Always your words, your submission.
We don't guess from mission statements. Our matches come from 2.28 million grants that about 95,000 US foundations have reported to the IRS on Form 990-PF. You see the evidence for every funder we suggest.
Real grants to programs like yours, not a keyword in a mission statement.
A foundation that writes $2,000 checks won't fund a $200,000 ask, and the reverse.
Foundations that fund where your program runs, not just somewhere in the country.
Your tone, your words, and the words you never use. Share a few past proposals in your document library, or describe how you write once, and every concept note and introduction email follows it.
Your voice shapes the style only. Every fact in a draft comes from what you've told Sam.

I've spent over 20 years working in fundraising, across the UK, Canada, and the United States. I've written grants, missed deadlines, worked nights before board meetings, and watched small organizations lose funding simply because they didn't have the time or budget to compete with larger teams.
I built CharityGrantWriter because I know what it feels like to be a one-person development department carrying an entire organization's fundraising on your back. The grants are out there. The time to find and write them, often, isn't.
CharityGrantWriter is built for nonprofit fundraisers, around how foundation funding actually works. It reads what foundations have actually funded, finds the ones that fund work like the program you need money for, and helps you make your case to them in your own words.
Your organization's data is never used to train models. You own your information. Every proposal draft is a starting point; you review, edit, and decide what gets submitted. Always your words, your mission, your submission.
Your programs, matches, drafts and documents are kept while your account is open, so you can come back to them, and deleted within 30 days of closing it. If you'd like anything removed sooner, email privacy@charitygrantwriter.com and we'll take care of it promptly.
The sector deserves better tools. I'm building them.
US nonprofits looking for foundation funding for a specific program. We're building CharityGrantWriter for Canadian and UK charities now: if you're registered there, get early access and be first in when we open.
You can keep going at the founding price of $75/month or $750/year, locked in while you stay subscribed. We don't ask for a card to start, so you're never charged unless you choose a plan.
Sam writes a first draft of a concept note and an introduction email for each funder, in your organization's voice, using only the facts you give. Gaps are marked for you to fill in. You review, edit and decide what gets sent.
From the annual Form 990-PF returns that US private foundations file with the IRS, which list the grants they made: 2.28 million grants from about 95,000 foundations.
Tell Sam about your program and see the US foundations that have funded similar work, with the grants to prove it.
