From a real sample report
The top matches the pipeline found for an example organization, Cedar Falls Housing Trust — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in CO working in Housing and Community Development. Run on September 27, 2026 against the grants open on grants.gov that day, unedited.

Fit 56/100Weak fit- Deadline
- January 25, 2027
- Award ceiling
- Up to $250,000
Fit read: Cedar Falls Housing Trust clears the eligibility bar as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which the verbatim eligibility language expressly includes. However, the funder's stated purpose is narrow: one-time, cost-reimbursable service coordination and limited direct services for residents of HUD-assisted housing responding to an *unanticipated emergency* (natural disaster, public health crisis, or economic disruption) at a target site. Nothing in the organization's profile establishes that it serves an identified HUD-assisted target site or that a qualifying recent emergency has occurred — and a housing trust's typical work (development, preservation, lending) is not resident service coordination. If the Trust can document both a HUD-assisted target site it serves and a specific triggering emergency, this becomes a viable fit; absent those two facts, it is a weak fit and staff time is better spent elsewhere.

Fit read: The eligibility language for AC-08-28-26 is limited verbatim to "State Service Commission and/or States and US Territories," and Cedar Falls Housing Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — not an eligible applicant for a direct submission to this competition. The substantive fit is closer: the synopsis describes engaging AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities, which a housing organization can plausibly support. But because the organization cannot apply directly under the stated eligibility, this opportunity should not be pursued as a prime applicant.
Forest Service
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative: Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program
Fit 48/100Weak fit- Deadline
- December 8, 2026
- Award ceiling
- Up to $1,000,000
Fit read: This opportunity funds fee simple acquisition of private forest land located specifically in portions of the Lake Superior Basin of Michigan and Wisconsin, with competitiveness tied to terrestrial habitat connectivity within a defined Pilot Area — none of which corresponds to a Colorado-based housing trust's service area. While nonprofit organizations qualified to acquire and manage land are named among eligible applicants, Cedar Falls Housing Trust's affordable housing mission does not match the stated purpose of conserving forested properties threatened by conversion to non-forest uses. Absent a Michigan or Wisconsin land holding inside the eligible geography and a demonstrated forest stewardship capacity, this is a geographic and programmatic mismatch that a review panel would likely score poorly.
How it works
Tell us about your org
Pick your organization type, up to four funding areas, your state, and your budget band. It takes about a minute.
We filter grants.gov to your matches
We pull the open federal opportunities and remove the ones your org type can't win — research-only, foreign-mission, or wrong-applicant grants.
Get a ranked report with drafted LOIs
Each eligible grant is ranked by fit, with deadlines and award ceilings, plus a Letter-of-Intent outline drafted from the funder's posted notice.
What we will and won't claim
Every grant is real and open
Each match links straight to its live grants.gov record. Every deadline and dollar figure comes from that record, so you can check it at the source.
We flag weak fits
When a grant is a stretch for your organization, the report says so instead of inflating the list. A short honest shortlist beats a long padded one.
We never promise funding
No tool can promise you an award. We find the opportunities you're eligible for and give you a head start; the proposal and the funder decide the rest.
No credentials, no scraping your data
We work from public federal grant data and the details you give us. We don't ask for logins, financials, or anything beyond what the matching needs.

FAQ
Where do the grants come from?
Every opportunity is a real, currently-open listing from grants.gov, the U.S. federal grants system. We link straight to the source record so you can verify each one and apply.
Who is this for?
Grants and development leads at 501(c)(3) nonprofits, colleges and universities, community health centers, tribal and state/local agencies, and grant-writing consultants who pursue federal funding.
What do I get after I pay?
A hosted report page listing your eligible matches, ranked, each with deadlines, award ceilings, an eligibility read, and a Letter-of-Intent outline for the top ones. The link is emailed to you automatically when the report is ready.
Will this get me funded?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. We surface the open grants you're eligible for and give you a running start on the application. Whether you win is decided by your proposal and the funder — not by us.
What if a match isn't a good fit?
We tell you. When our read says a grant is a weak fit, the report labels it plainly rather than padding the list. Honest matching is the point.
What is your refund policy?
If our quality gate flags your report — fewer than three eligible open grants, none of the drafted matches is a strong fit for your organization, or the pipeline hit a hard failure — we refund automatically within 90 days of your order. If our logs show you never opened the delivered report, we refund within 30 days of delivery. Otherwise email grantnet@forage.bot and we'll work it out case by case.
