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.

Foundation funds enabled Museum Village to create classroom engagement opportunities and add to their hands-on learning for more than 11,000 school children. Specifically, the grant supported the development of "Power: Exploring Innovation in the 19th Century," which includes several working models allowing children to understand steam and hydropower and how the innovation of the period continues to influence inventors today. Funds were also used to support more hands-on workshops that allowed students to learn while making their own crafts. Two of these learning opportunities were thermotrope optical illusion craft that focused on the rise of visual entertainment in the late 19th century and artificial flowers craft that taught about parlor craft, child labor, and changing fashion in the 19th-20th century. These experiential learning opportunities are key to the role museums play in informal learning environments and add significantly to the experiences of children and adults.

WARWICK SAVINGS FOUNDATION

$2K

The grant funds allowed Museum Village to expand hands-on learning opportunities and exhibits in several areas: 1. Educational interactives were developed to teach children about firefighting in the late 19th century; 2. Funds permitted development of a hands-on exhibit to engage students in the basics of loom weaving; 3. An enhanced display of a collection of uranium glass under black light piqued visitors' curiosity; 4. An expanded offering focusing on 1876 and the creation of "A More Perfect Union" causes visitors to reflect on our challenges and progress. Without the support of organizations such as the Foundation, Museum Village, now in its 73rd year, would not be able to serve the over 9,000 school children who visit each spring on school trips or the vast number of visitors throughout the year.
