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 Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR) accelerates economic development by helping communities transform blighted, contaminated, and underutilized properties into engines of opportunity. Through targeted education, strategic partnerships, and hands-on technical assistance, CCLR equips local leaders to overcome redevelopment barriers and unlock sites for investment, job creation, and long-term resilience. From rural towns and tribal lands to urban neighborhoods, CCLR catalyzes land reuse as a pathway to revitalization and inclusive growth.

Programs

Other Programs: CCLR cultivates strategic partnerships with public, private, and community groups to maintain its leadership in brownfield redevelopment. It engages in diverse program activities to deepen its expertise and adapt to the evolving redevelopment landscape. As co-manager of the National Brownfields Coalition with Smart Growth America, CCLR also evaluates policies and practices, particularly in California, that influence redevelopment opportunities. These initiatives, under its "Other Programs" category, are supported by unrestricted grants, without federal or state funding.
