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.

The Dannon Project administers two U.S. Department of Justice reentry initiatives-Youth Advocacy and Resilience Program (YARP) and Second Chance Adult Reentry-designed to reduce recidivism and promote public safety through comprehensive rehabilitation services. Both programs provide intensive case management, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, workforce training, and employment placement for justice-involved youth and adults returning to the community after incarceration. Participants receive wraparound supports including mental-health counseling, housing referrals, and transportation assistance to ensure successful reintegration. The YARP initiative emphasizes early intervention and mentorship for court-involved youth, while the Second Chance Adult program focuses on skill development, job placement, and long-term stability for adults with prior felony convictions. Collectively, these DOJ-funded programs strengthen families, improve community safety, and advance equity in reentry outcomes across Alabama.
