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.
