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

Dating back to its launch in 2021, The Gaining Empowerment in Middle School Program (GEMS) continues to gain momentum, as more schools are requesting our services at their campuses. During FY 2022, we purchased a new social, emotional learning software that is more user friendly. This new software offers our instructors additional resources for better classroom engagement, data assessment and reporting. The GEMS program has successfully and effectively provided social and emotional learning opportunities across 6 campuses, for 72 at-risk students and their families in the Houston Independent School District, Channelview Independent School District and Aldine School District. In addition to providing services to our youth, ancillary information and referral services are also provided to support the families of the participating students.
