How It Works
How GrantRound Works
Describe your mission once
The 30-second Grant Matchmaker form becomes your organization profile when you create an account — your organization type, your focus, your own words. No forms about forms.
See only grants that fit
We check every open federal grant against that profile — a match score, plus an eligibility verdict that quotes the listing's own words for who can apply.
Qualify the pursuit
Finding a grant isn't the decision — record it: Pursue, Watch, or Decline, with the match requirement, the partners, and the hours it will take, decided by a named person on a named date. (Pro & Premium)
Run it to the deadline
A pursued grant gets a workflow: steps with owners and due dates, approvals with a paper trail, and a record that holds the consents and documents. Reminders land in your inbox before every deadline — the grant's, and each step's. (Pro & Premium)
After the decision
Submitted? The record holds the confirmation and tracking number. Awarded? The terms go on record, every report lands on a schedule with reminders, and closeout computes the date your records must be kept until. Declined? A short debrief captures what the funder said, so the next application starts smarter. (Pro & Premium)
One pipeline for every grant you track
Every grant you're tracking, its stage, and exactly how long you have left. Pursued grants carry their qualification and workflow right on the same row.
