The questions you're actually asking
Your grant questions, answered by the product.
We pulled these from real conversations with nonprofit directors. Every one of them has an answer inside GrantAQ — usually delivered without you having to ask.
- Will my nonprofit qualify for federal grants?
- What is NTEE code and do I need one?
- How do I write a needs statement?
- What counts as match funding?
- Do I need a 501(c)(3) to apply?
- How long should my project narrative be?
- What is a logic model?
- Can I apply to multiple funders at once?
- How do I budget for indirect costs?
- Do foundations prefer new or established orgs?
- What is a letter of intent?
- How do I write an evaluation plan?
What GrantAQ does
Three jobs, in order:
Most tools do one of these. We do all three, in the order you actually need them — find the grants, write the applications, manage the outcomes.
We analyze your mission, budget, program areas, state, and entity type against 6,000+ active federal, state, foundation, and corporate grants. You get a 0-100 fit score for each — ranked, filtered, and updated nightly as new grants come online.

One platform, four jobs.
Most tools stop at one of these. GrantAQ handles the whole arc — from finding the right grant to learning from the outcome.
Step 1
Find funders that fit.
Not a keyword search — a match. GrantAQ analyzes funder profiles against your programs, priorities, and eligibility to surface the grants actually worth pursuing.
AI-powered match
Score 6,000+ active grants against your org — ranked 0-100, explained.
Second-opinion critic
A second AI pass kills false-positives on geography, size, and eligibility before you see them.
Nightly verification
Dead links and expired deadlines pulled automatically. Your library never rots.
