Nonprofit Directors

You're managing programs, not chasing grants. FundForge finds the funders whose eligibility rules, geographic focus, and mission areas actually match your nonprofit — so you spend time on work that matters.

  • Faith-based and community nonprofits
  • Arts and cultural organizations
  • Workforce development nonprofits
🏪

Small Business Owners

Small businesses don't have grant writers on staff. FundForge helps you find federal, state, and private grants you're actually eligible for — so you can focus on running your business.

  • WOSB and SDVOSB-certified firms
  • Restaurants and retail with expansion plans
  • Manufacturers seeking equipment financing
  • Tech startups in qualifying verticals

Most grant tools show you what's popular. We show you what fits.

The typical grant search returns hundreds of results ranked by deadline or popularity — not by whether you have any real shot at winning. FundForge inverts that logic: we score every funder against your specific profile and return the ones where your mission, budget, and geography actually align.

Fit scores, not keyword matches. Our AI evaluates eligibility criteria, mission alignment, and geographic focus — not just whether your search terms appeared in the listing.
Federal, state, and private in one search. Stop checking SAM.gov, your state portal, and Foundation Directory separately. FundForge covers all three in a single query.
Results ranked, not alphabetized. Every funder comes back with a fit score from 0–100, a plain-language reason for the match, and direct links to the application — not just a name and a deadline.
No grant writers required. FundForge is discovery software, not writing software. You bring the mission; we handle the matching so you know where to focus your writing effort.

Questions about grant discovery

What types of grants does FundForge search?

FundForge covers federal grants (via SAM.gov sources), state-administered grant programs across 14 states, and private foundations. We match against eligibility rules, geographic restrictions, and mission areas — not just category labels.

Is FundForge free to use?

Discovery is free to try. You enter your organization profile, get your ranked top 10 matches, and can apply directly through each funder's link. We surface the grants — the application is between you and the funder.

How does the AI matching work?

When you submit your profile, FundForge evaluates each funder's eligibility criteria, stated focus areas, geographic restrictions, and typical award range against your mission, budget range, and operating geography. Each funder receives a fit score from 0–100 with a plain-language explanation of why it ranked high or low for your profile.

Who should NOT use FundForge?

FundForge is designed for organizations actively pursuing grants — not for one-time research or curiosity queries. If you don't have a defined mission or operating budget, the results won't be useful. We also don't support international grant discovery at this time.

Can small businesses use FundForge?

Yes. FundForge supports small business profiles including WOSB, SDVOSB, and other certified businesses with defined project goals. We match against federal SBIR/STTR programs and state-level small business grant programs. The more specific your project description, the better the matches.
