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

Cavu uses high quality multimedia, visual storytelling and community engagement to support local solutions to the global climate problem. Cavu uniquely blends science and personal stories to reconnect people with each other and the planet they live on. We believe elevating diverse voices is an antidote to prejudice, partisanship, and cynicism by creating hope and common ground to create change on environmental and social justice issues. Cavu recognizes the power that visual storytelling has to affect change and be an antidote to prejudice, partisanship, and cynicism when working on environmental and social justice issues. This work led to an emmy and cavu is now featured in a permanent exhibition at the smithsonian's national air and space museum for cavu's use of flight and film for conservation purposes.
