Grant discovery for nonprofits and businesses
GrantBob helps nonprofits, businesses, startups, and social enterprises find grant money they can actually get. Grants are funds you do not have to pay back, but finding the right ones is hard. Government portals are slow, full of jargon, and often list programs that have already closed. GrantBob searches live Grants.gov data each time you search, so the results are current. Every grant links to its official listing, and any detail the source does not provide is shown as unknown instead of guessed.
Your entity type matters a lot. Many grants are only open to nonprofits, and some are only open to businesses. GrantBob checks this for you, so a business never sees a nonprofit-only grant as a match, and the other way around. For each grant, you get a plain summary of who it is for, how much it pays, when it is due, and what to do next. When you find a good fit, GrantBob drafts the application so you can move from search to submission much faster.
The 6-Dimension Eligibility Screen
Before you waste a week writing, GrantBob screens your organization against the same six dimensions reviewers actually score — and tells you in plain English whether to apply. Each grant comes back with a single 6-Dimension Eligibility Score from 0–100.

Real opportunities, pulled the moment you search
GrantBob queries the official Grants.gov Search2 API in real time. Competitors resell databases scraped months ago, which is how organizations end up writing applications for programs that closed last quarter.
Straight from the source
Agency, title, deadline and award amounts come back from Grants.gov itself, nothing retyped, nothing invented by a model.
Nothing closed, ever shown
Expired opportunities are filtered out before you see them, so every grant in your list is one you can still apply for.
Scored against your profile
Live federal records feed straight into the 6-Dimension Eligibility Score, so freshness and fit arrive together.
How GrantBob grant discovery works, from profile to draft
Most nonprofits and businesses lose weeks on grant portals, only to find out late that they never qualified. GrantBob fixes that in three steps. First, you describe your organization once: what you do, where you are, and what you need funding for. Next, GrantBob checks every live grant against the official eligibility rules and shows you the ones you can really apply for. Finally, it helps you write the application, one section at a time, inside the funder's word limits. No spreadsheets and no guessing.
1. Discover
Tell GrantBob about your organization and mission. It finds live grants and gives each one a fit score from 0 to 100.
2. Screen
Check your eligibility across 6 areas before you spend a day on a grant you cannot win.
3. Draft
Create all 9 application sections, from the executive summary to the evaluation plan, within official word limits.
