Public contract and grant research, Excel automation, data cleaning
About this Gig
Find private foundations that already fund work like yours, near you.
I search IRS Form 990-PF grant records (the grants foundations report paying) for your mission keywords and area, and deliver an Excel shortlist:
- Ranked funders that gave to similar organizations in your state and cities, with matched grants, totals, typical grant size and whether their filing gives application instructions
- Evidence tab: every matching grant with recipient, city, amount, year and purpose
- Each funder's filed deadlines and restrictions, website and public profile link
- Invite-only funders to approach through relationships (Standard and Premium)
Honest scope: this is research, not grant writing, and no one can promise funding. 990-PF data trails 1-2 years, so check each funder's current guidelines before applying.
AI-assisted processing with scripted privacy and accuracy checks; sample rows are re-checked against the IRS XML filings. Grants to individuals are excluded; contact details are removed.

FAQ
Will you write my grant proposal?
No. This is research only: a ranked list of foundations that recently funded similar work near you, with the evidence. You or your grant writer prepare and send any application.
Can you guarantee I'll get funded?
No, and no one honestly can. The list shows foundations that already paid grants to similar organizations nearby, which helps you spend time on likely fits. Every funder decides for itself.
How current is the data?
Foundations file their 990-PF months after their year ends and the IRS releases returns in batches, so grants shown are usually 1-2 years old. Check each funder's website for current guidelines and deadlines before applying.
What does "Application instructions filed" mean?
"Yes": the funder's latest filing gives application instructions and doesn't say it funds pre-selected groups only. "Not stated": no instructions filed. Funders whose filing says they take no unsolicited requests are in the invite-only tab.
Is this AI-generated? Is it accurate?
It is AI-assisted: scripts match and rank public IRS grant records. Automated privacy and accuracy checks run on every report, and sample rows are re-checked against the IRS XML filings before delivery.
Do you include contact names, emails or phone numbers?
No. Grants to individuals are excluded and contact details are removed. Many foundations are named after their founders, and those names appear as filed. Each funder links to its website and ProPublica profile for current contacts.
What if only a few funders match?
Narrow keywords or a small area can give a short list. I'll message you before delivering with options (more keywords, more cities, the whole state). I never pad the list.
