Everything you need to know about finding grants and drafting proposals with CharityGrantWriter.
CharityGrantWriter maintains a curated database of 100+ active grants across the US, Canada, and UK. When you complete your organization profile — covering your mission, focus area, location, annual budget, and org type — our purpose-built fundraising agent scans the database and surfaces the opportunities most relevant to your work.
Grant opportunities are updated regularly, and you receive deadline alerts so you never miss an application window.
Matching takes into account several key factors about your organization and each grant opportunity:
We don't disclose the specific weights or scoring methodology — that's the engine under the hood. What matters is the output: a ranked list of opportunities where your chances of being competitive are highest.
Matches are generated within seconds of completing your organization profile. You'll see a ranked list of relevant grant opportunities immediately — no waiting, no manual review queue.
Match scores are a starting point, not a guarantee. They reflect how well your organization's profile aligns with each funder's stated criteria based on the information you've provided.
Higher match scores indicate stronger alignment — but every grant has its own application process and final decisions rest entirely with the funder. We recommend reviewing the funder's guidelines directly before investing time in a proposal.
Yes. The Browse Grants directory lets you explore all grants in our database, filter by region, focus area, and budget range, and search by keyword — independently of your organization profile.
Once you select a grant opportunity, our purpose-built fundraising agent analyzes the funder's stated priorities, focus areas, and grant criteria — then drafts a proposal tailored to that funder using your organization's profile information (mission, programs, impact data, location, and budget).
The result is a structured first-draft proposal you can read, edit, and customize before submitting.
Most proposal drafts are ready in 30–60 seconds. You'll be notified by email when yours is complete if it takes longer than usual.
Yes. Every proposal draft is yours to edit, expand, and customize however you need. You can also download it as a PDF to work on offline or share with your team.
No. Proposals generated by CharityGrantWriter are first drafts — a strong starting point, not a finished submission.
Think of it the way you'd think of any professional first draft: use it to save hours, but always bring your own expertise and knowledge of your organization before it goes out the door.
Yes. The fundraising agent draws on the organization profile you provided during intake: your mission statement, focus area, programs, geographic reach, annual budget, and any impact data you've shared. This is what makes proposals tailored rather than generic.
The more detail you provide in your profile, the stronger and more specific the drafts will be.
Yes. Every generated proposal can be downloaded as a PDF directly from your account dashboard. PDFs are formatted and ready to share with your board, executive director, or grant committee for review.
Yes. CharityGrantWriter offers a free trial that lets you explore grant matches and generate a proposal draft before subscribing. No credit card required to get started — create your profile here.
The Pro plan includes:
On the Pro plan, you can generate up to 3 proposal drafts per day — roughly 90 per month. In practice, most nonprofits apply to 5–15 grants per month, so this limit won't be a constraint for typical usage.
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. You'll retain access through the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again after that.
Yes, annual billing is available and comes with a discount compared to month-to-month pricing. Contact us or check your account settings for current annual pricing.
When you cancel, your account and data remain accessible until the end of the billing period. After that, your account is deactivated and your data is retained for 30 days before being deleted — giving you time to re-activate if you change your mind.
You can also request immediate deletion of all your data by emailing privacy@charitygrantwriter.com.
Your organization profile data (mission, focus area, budget, location) is used solely to generate grant matches and proposal drafts for you. It is stored securely, encrypted at rest, and transmitted over TLS.
Intake data is retained for 12 months from last activity then automatically deleted. You can request earlier deletion at any time — email privacy@charitygrantwriter.com.
Your data is never sold or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. We use a small number of trusted infrastructure providers (hosting, email delivery, payment processing) who process data solely to operate the service under strict data processing agreements.
See our full Privacy Policy for the complete list of sub-processors.

We apply multiple layers of security:
No system is 100% secure. Please use a strong, unique password for your account.

CharityGrantWriter currently supports nonprofits and registered charities in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Grant opportunities, deadline alerts, and proposal drafts are all tailored to your country.
Yes. The database includes grants specifically for Canadian registered charities and nonprofits, including federal and provincial government grants, foundations operating in Canada, and cross-border funders accepting Canadian applicants.
Yes. UK-registered charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs) are supported. The database includes grants from UK-based charitable trusts, lottery distributors, and government funders. Proposals are drafted in British English and follow UK grant writing conventions.
Yes. Grant matches are automatically filtered by your organization's country and region. A nonprofit in British Columbia won't see grants restricted to US-based organizations, and vice versa. Within countries, state/provincial filtering is applied where funder eligibility specifies it.
Not yet. Our current grant database is focused on the US, Canada, and UK. Organizations based elsewhere — including Australian, Irish, and New Zealand nonprofits — are not currently supported. We're actively evaluating which regions to expand to next. Let us know where you're based and we'll factor it into our roadmap.
You can browse the grant directory without an account. To receive personalized grant matches and generate proposal drafts, you'll need to create a free account and complete your organization intake profile — which takes about 5 minutes.
To generate your first grant matches, you'll need:
The more detail you provide, the more tailored your matches and proposals will be.
You can update your organization profile at any time from your account settings. Changes take effect immediately for new grant matches and proposals — your existing drafts won't be altered retroactively.
Every Monday, active subscribers receive a weekly email digest with upcoming grant deadlines that match their organization's profile. The digest highlights grants closing within the next 30 days so you can prioritize your application calendar.
Weekly digests are available on the Pro plan. You can manage your email preferences at any time.
Yes. Every marketing and digest email includes a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also manage your full email preferences at email-preferences, or email privacy@charitygrantwriter.com to update your settings.
Note: transactional emails (login links, billing receipts) cannot be disabled as they're required for account security and operation.
Account deletion is available in your account settings under the "Danger Zone" section. Alternatively, email privacy@charitygrantwriter.com with your request and we'll process it within 2 business days.
Deleting your account removes your personal data, organization profile, and generated proposals. Billing records are retained for 7 years as required by financial regulations, with personally identifiable information removed.
The database currently contains 100+ active grants across the US, Canada, and UK. This includes foundation grants, government programs, and corporate giving initiatives. We focus on quality over volume — every grant in the database is verified, active, and accepting applications from nonprofits.
New grant opportunities are added on an ongoing basis as they become available. Closed or expired grants are removed promptly. The database is reviewed and refreshed regularly to ensure accuracy.
Significant. A typical grant proposal takes 10–20 hours to research and write from scratch. CharityGrantWriter generates a tailored first draft in under a minute, reducing that to 1–3 hours of editing and customization.
See our Time Savings Calculator to estimate the hours and dollar value you'd save based on your grant writing volume.
CharityGrantWriter is in active beta with founding partner organizations. Early users have reported significant time savings on proposal preparation and improvements in the number of grants they're able to apply to each month.
