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

To rescue homeless, abandoned or neglected cats and kittens, including those with significant medical needs, feral tendencies, or scheduled euthanasia by providing food, shelter and medical care within our organization until able to place in a permanent home. To provide spay and neuter services to any rescues in our area needing services. Our medical Van is not mobile but remains parked at our location to maximize time and minimize cost and liability. Effective in this fiscal year ending February 28, 2025, we established a sanctuary at the rescue so that those cats, feral or fearful have a home here at Whis-Purr Rescue for their lifetime.

* Due to the dire situation in obtaining spay/neuter appointments in the Bay Area for our rescue cats and kittens, Whis-Purr Rescue raised funds for the 2021 Rescue Coalition Spay/Neuter Van Project! This van will help cat rescue groups all over the Bay Area get prompt spay/neuter appointments at consistent and affordable rescue prices! Access to these services will accelerate adoptions and will maximize the number of cats and kittens we can save from euthanasia at local shelters. * Local humane societies and many spay/neuter clinics closed their doors because of COVID-19 restrictions. This resulted in a kitten population explosion leaving the shelters overcrowded as they continue to receive unprecedented numbers of cats and kittens surrendered upon reopening mid-2021. * Humane societies and vet clinics cannot keep up with this historic demand and the waiting list for spay/neuter appointments stretches for months. The prolonged wait for pre-adoption surgeries causes kittens to grow up at the rescue locations instead of in their forever homes. This lack of space prevents other rescue cats and kittens to be safe from Euthanasia! * This coalition was formed to help. *Whis-Purr Rescue's Coalition Spay/Neuter Van Project has completed fundraising for a medical Van purchased 'used' from Snip. At this date we are in the process of equipping our Van prior to service. The Van has been up and running since March 2022.

Whis-Purr Rescue established a 'Cat Sanctuary', a third program based on the number of cats at the rescue who have never been adopted due to late rescue situations. These cats are either feral or fearful. These cats have been at the rescue, in some cases for up to nine years. The Sanctuary cats are worked with to help them to feel more comfortable and engaged at Whis-Purr. We have dedicated volunteers spending time with them and using clicker training technigues, so that they have enrichment in their home with us. As the Sanctuary cats age, they have developed medical needs that we are addressing as well. We provide for each one with loving care.
