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

The butte county fire safe council's mission is to provide wildfire safety in butte county through education and hazard mitigation and to effectively deliver the fire safe message to individuals in foothill communities that they are at risk, that they have a responsibility to protect their lives and to educate them as to what it is they need to do to prepare for wildland fires. It is also our goal to reduce fuel loading in "communities at risk", and to develop sustainable revenue sources for the administration of the fire safe council.
