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 forward foundation was founded to increase the participation of working-age people in their granite state communities through public policy research, education, and leadership growth. Working-age people are vastly underrepresented as leaders in local elected office, community organizations, and state government in new hampshire. The forward foundation seeks to empower this population in their communities by identifying, educating, and supporting them so they will grow as leaders and participate more fully in our democracy.

Programs

3 programs

Recruitment of appointed positions that protect our democracy: the forward foundation ran a comprehensive campaign to identify, educate, and activate working-age adults in new hampshire to sign up to serve as volunteer poll workers for new hampshire's city and town elections. Through community outreach, paid digital advertising, training webinars, and relational organizing, the forward foundation identified 50 new folks who were interested in poll working, especially in the city elections. This set the groundwork for a smooth presidential election in 2024 as well.

In 2024, the forward foundation ran a digital education program in communities with the highest density of same-day voter registration to ensure this community understands their constitutionally-protected right to vote. The forward foundation's digital voter education program saw stronger-than-anticipated results, showing that the targeted communities (those with the highest density of same-day voter registration) were interested and engaged in learning about how to register and vote on election day.

Expenses: $69K

Issue-based education for elected officials: new hampshire's elected officials are tasked with making decisions on a variety of issues, but unfortunately a legislator cannot be an expert in each of these issues. That is why the forward foundation engages in a governance program, to make sure elected officials in towns, cities, and in the state house are educated on issues that matter most to working-age individuals. In 2024, we were able to train 70 additional folks with this program - however, the first set of about 50 folks we trained on housing are continually coming back to interact with our organization, attend more trainings, and help with our other programs.
