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

Opportunity scholars' mission is to support education and training pathways for students from low income and ethnically underrepresented communities. Opportunity scholars serves as the connection between students and their families, k-12 schools, higher education providers and local businesses. Through culturally appropriate coaching, academic support and risk-free financing, opportunity scholars helps students achieve the academic and technical qualifications for great jobs in the priority workforce shortage areas within the communities we serve. By helping students get high paying jobs while targeting priority workforce development needs, both the students and their communities achieve transformational improvement in their economic status and a reduction in income inequality.
