Grantivo is a grant writing platform for nonprofits and grant professionals. It combines funder research with proposal writing and review, so you can look up a funder's giving history, write your proposal, and check it against their requirements before you submit.

How is Grantivo different from using ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn't know your funder, your organization, or the grant requirements. Grantivo has data on 100,000+ foundations and keeps your context across every session, so feedback is specific to your proposal and the funder you're applying to.

Yes. All core features are free, including funder research, foundation profiles, proposal editing, and requirement tracking. You only pay when you use AI assistance for drafting or review. No credit card required to start.

Can I use Grantivo for any type of grant?

Yes. Grantivo works with foundation grants, government RFPs, corporate giving programs, and any funding opportunity that requires a written proposal.

Mission

To support people and promote global projects tackling the needs of the most helpless and destitute Aurora is rooted in the events of the Armenian Genocide one hundred years ago and the enhancement of its position in the world's memory. We will uncover and tell stories of survival and humanity that transpired during the Genocide. In addition, the goal of the Organization is to generate global and local conversations about gratitude; about survivors and saviors from any time and from any place around the world; and about "on the ground" humanitarian projects that make a lasting difference.
