About GrantWatch

GrantWatch is a full grant lifecycle platform that helps nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, schools, researchers, tribal organizations, and individuals find grants, research funders, write proposals, manage applications, track awards, and oversee post-award reporting in one system.

What is GrantWatch, in one sentence?

GrantWatch does not award grants. We list currently available grants and make them available to you through a subscription website. We add new grants daily.

Roughly 70% of our directory comprises of grants from private foundations, public foundations, corporations and charities. The remaining 30% of grants found are from local, state, and federal government funding sources.

The company was opened in 2010 and is reachable by phone, email and live chat. Contact.

What does GrantWatch not do?

GrantWatch is a grant listing directory - we are not the funding source. Therefore, we do not approve applications, award grants, or give money.

We are a grant search engine and listing directory, and therefore, we do not have access to this information. Once a customer clicks on any grant of interest, they are directed to the grant funder's site to complete and submit their application.

Why is there a fee?

Grants themselves are free to apply for via official government portals; GrantWatch charges solely for search database features.

We provide a service, saving you endless hours of research, time, and stress! You can search for grants on your own for free, but many organizations prefer to pay for the convenience of having them all in one place! We specialize in listing grants from foundations that aren't publicly available.

Needs client material — Undated reach and sister-property claims

Two published claims are withheld until the client dates or confirms them: the monthly visitor figure on the founder page (f068) carries no as-of date, and GrantWriterTeam (f069) is not linked until the client confirms it is still active.
