I started looking at Instrumentl and thought—wow, this is the answer to my prayers! Now that I look back, I just think about how much Instrumentl fundamentally changed the way we work, especially finding foundations that really fit us.
standard
What I really like about Instrumentl as an all-year round platform is that we can track on a year-on-year basis, we got history in there, we got documents in there. It just makes everything easier.
pro
I love the fact that Instrumentl is like a one-stop shop where I can research and track grants all in one place. I feel like 90% of my work is concentrated in one platform, and this has been a huge help for me.

- The most comprehensive grant database — Instrumentl is the most comprehensive source of active and open grants for any field. We pull grants from corporate, private, federal, and even state funding sources, you don't need to search anywhere else.
- Intelligent matching to the right funders — Our smart matching algorithm automatically matches your projects to new, relevant funding opportunities as they come up.
- Up-to-date grant information — We pull the eligibility criteria from a funder's website and 990s and consolidate it on one, easy-to-read page (see example). Additionally, we track funder websites 24/7 and notify you when there is a material change — such as a change of deadline or giving preferences — so you’re always in the loop.
- Clearly visualized 990s & foundation profiles — Strategically evaluate new and existing funders by spotting revealing trends such as new grantees, geographical giving, grant sizes, and giving by category through clear breakdowns of funders’ 990 data.
- Grant management — Save your favorite grants on the Grant Tracker, receive deadline reminders, view your history with a grant or funder, set up tasks and task reminders, and see your progress from a bird’s eye view.
- Grant reporting — Export any of your saved grants pipeline data into an easy-to-read PDF or CSV in seconds. Share them with your clients or nonprofit team on a weekly or monthly basis to keep everyone in the loop on your latest progress.
