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.

Mobile Museum Tour - Habitot continued its Mobile Museum Tour with 9 full-day pop-up events in 6 cities in outdoor community parks, libraries, schools, and other venues across the East Bay. The most popular exhibits were presented along with art and maker stations facilitated by art and education staff. Exhibits include the Waterworks water play and discovery exhibit; Imagination Playground Blue Building Blocks; Paintable Wall; Magnetic Ball Wall; Baby Ball Pit and stations for art and maker stations. A sliding scale of $1-40 per family makes the events accessible to a wide range of projects. The Tour supported post-pandemic re-engagement of families and children in social situations, while also strengthening parent-child bonding. Additional free Arts & Crafts Days took place in Emeryville and Berkeley. Almost 2,300 parents and children attended 2024 events.

Habitot-at-Home and Kit-based Programs for Families - Habitot continued distribution of its STEM, art, and play-based learning kits created during the pandemic for at-home use. The kits were available for purchase and grants covered the cost of some kits distributed to low income and special needs families. Staff-led, how-to videos available through the YouTube channel were made available to guide parents in facilitating kit activities with their children, especially how to foster childrens learning of math and science concepts, language, and problem solving. In addition, Totmail e-newsletters containing instructions for art and STEM at-home activities were delivered to 4,000 households weekly with a high open rate of 30-40%.
