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.

A-104 The carbon results framework project: the goal of the ec3 tool project is to transform building construction by transparently measuring comparing and reducing embodied carbon emission from construction materials. each year the built environment contributes almost 40% of co2 emission worldwide and it is estimated that there will be a doubling of the amount of building floorspace in the next 40 years. at least half of the carbon footprint of these new building will take the form of embodied carbon in the emissions associated with the building construction including extracting transporting manufacturing and installing building materials. as a result owners designers engineers and contactors are turning their attention to building material seeking information on these products so they can make informed smart choices. the ec3 tool would enable the building industry to easily access and view material carbon emissions data.

Research Grant Agreement A-103 relates to creating a free open access North American Life Cycle Inventory LCI database of high impact building materials.A free and open access North American LCI database is a missing element in being able to create a reference building's embodied carbon footprint early within a design process. A reference building benchmark is what design and construction innovations on a project by project basis can be compared against. The database promotes innovations especially when considering lower carbon footprints of materials and construction.
