Built for the nonprofit development cycle, in the order you work it.
Start with your objective. See who funds orgs like yours. Get the language to win them. Search wider when you need to. Keep every opportunity organized by program.
Your whole year, on one screen.
You open Funding Findr and your goal is right there: what you need to raise, and where you stand against it. Switch between this week, this quarter, and the full year, so you are always working the right horizon instead of just the next deadline.
See who funds the orgs most like yours.
We find the ten nonprofits closest to you in mission, size, and geography, then map every funder behind them. The funders backing your peers but not yet you are your whitespace: warm prospects with a track record of supporting work like yours, that you probably are not tracking.
A workforce development nonprofit in South Los Angeles surfaced 25 foundation leads in a single pass, funders it was not already tracking.
Know exactly what to say to each funder.
Knowing who to approach is half the job. For each of your programs, Funding Findr surfaces the angles most likely to win funding: the specific frames and positioning language for your next letter of inquiry. A starting point for your narrative, not a script.
Search the whole directory, minus the dead links.
When you want to go wider than your matches, browse every funder, grant, and nonprofit in one place. Filter by fit, size, geography, and type. Every link is reviewed before it goes live with a dead-link refund guarantee, so you stop losing Tuesdays to Googling foundations and clicking through to nothing.
Save what fits. Work it by program.
Found a grant worth pursuing? Save it to My Radar and track it against the program it funds. Your pipeline builds itself as you go, so when the board asks about the plan, you have a named, organized portfolio instead of a list of deadlines.
Your job isn't prospecting. It's stewardship.
Most grant tools are built for a fantasy version of development work: infinite time, a full research team, and a portfolio you're building from scratch. That's not the job.
The real job is renewals. Twenty to forty active funder relationships. A board meeting in three weeks. An LOI due Friday. A program officer who changed last quarter and you haven't met the new one yet.
Funding Findr is built around that reality. Discovery surfaces the right new funders without burying you. Funder intelligence tells you what a foundation is actually doing, not what they said in 2019. Pipeline remembers what you did last, and what comes next.

“It's the first tool I've used that understands what my day actually looks like. I'm not starting from zero every quarter. I'm managing renewals, tracking stewardship, and finding new funders when I have time, not instead of the other work.”
Built by someone who's sat in your chair.
Development directors at lean nonprofits deserve the same strategic clarity that the enterprise tools sell to research-staffed institutions. Not a watered-down version. The real thing.
Funding Findr exists because the tooling gap between a $50M and a $1.5M organization is absurd, and it's the single biggest reason small orgs can't compete for foundation dollars they're qualified to win.

The ones you're already thinking.
Candid is the gold standard, built and priced for research analysts at large institutions. Funding Findr gives you the strategic clarity to find the right funders, understand what they back, and position your work, at a price the rest of the sector can afford. The tradeoff: we're newer, our database is smaller, and a few capabilities are still shipping. If your org has a $5,000 research line, Candid is a great choice. If it doesn't, we're what you've been looking for.
At $24 a month or $199 a year, Funding Findr sits well below most nonprofit discretionary spending thresholds. Many development directors expense it against their professional development or research line without formal approval. We can provide a signed purchase order, annual invoice, or W-9 on request for orgs with procurement requirements.
Yes. We curate across foundation, federal, corporate, and community programs. Filters let you narrow by funder type so you can focus on what fits your org's compliance capacity, and skip what doesn't.
Yes. The grants in our database range from $5,000 microgrants to multi-year foundation commitments in the six figures. Many are sized for small and mid-cap nonprofits specifically, with budget thresholds and staff size eligibility that work for lean teams. We don't pad the database with grants only the largest institutions could realistically win.
Grant discovery, funder intelligence, peer signal, and the prospect pipeline are live today. Coming next: a deeper layer of relationship mapping, renewal stewardship, and your funding identity written back to you with the angles ready to pitch this quarter. Everything is included for existing subscribers at no extra cost.
Yes. You can export funder research, grant lists, and pipeline views. Multi-seat team accounts with shared pipeline and funder notes are on the roadmap for 2026. In the meantime, sharing a screenshot of a well-researched funder with your board is one of the best uses of this tool.
Every listing is reviewed before it goes live, and we re-check links on an ongoing basis. If you ever find a dead application link, report it and we'll fix it or remove the listing. It's a core brand promise: dead link = full refund.
Yes. Month-to-month subscriptions cancel any time from your account settings. Annual subscriptions are non-refundable, but you keep full access through the end of your paid term.
The development OS is ready when you are.
Join the development directors who've stopped juggling spreadsheets, bookmarks, and email chains, and started running their funder work from one place.
