About Funding Findr
Grants, fellowships, residencies, accelerators — there is real money set aside for founders, artists, and nonprofits. Funding Findr is a curated discovery platform that brings it all together: researched by hand, verified for accuracy, and structured so you can match to real opportunities in minutes.
Every year, billions in grants and fellowships go unclaimed — not because people don't qualify, but because they never found them in the first place.
The information is out there, technically. But it's scattered across government portals, foundation websites, and outdated directories full of dead links and AI-generated noise. People spend weeks chasing leads that went cold months ago — or worse, assume the funding just isn't there for someone like them. It is. The discovery process is what's broken.
How it works
Every grant is sourced, verified, and structured before it reaches you.
We don't scrape and dump. Every grant in the database was found, read, and evaluated before it was ever added. If we can't confirm it's real and active, it doesn't make the cut.
Every listing is reviewed for working links, current deadlines, and accurate eligibility. No bots, no auto-imports. A person looked at this grant before you did.
Grants are organized so you can filter by what matters — location, amount, type, eligibility. You see what's relevant to you, not everything that exists.
Who it's for
Funding Findr is built for anyone turning an idea into impact.
Solo founders, early-stage teams, and small businesses looking for non-dilutive capital — grants, accelerator programs, pitch competitions — without giving up equity.
Visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, and performers seeking fellowships, residencies, project grants, and emergency funds matched to their practice and location.
Community organizations, nonprofit leaders, and social enterprises navigating federal, state, and foundation funding — filtered by mission, geography, and grant size.
What makes this different
See what sets Funding Findr apart.
Not at all. Many federal agencies, state programs, and private foundations offer funding specifically for small businesses, solo founders, and individual artists — not just nonprofits. Funding Findr includes grants, fellowships, residencies, and accelerator programs across all three categories.
Google returns millions of results with no quality filter. You'll find listicles from 2019, affiliate-driven directories, and links to programs that closed years ago. Funding Findr gives you a verified, structured database where every listing has been confirmed active with clear eligibility — not a wall of 10,000 unfiltered results.
Continuously. New grants are added weekly, and existing listings are reviewed on a regular cycle. Grants that close or become inactive are removed — not left to linger with a "check back later" note.
No. Funding Findr helps you discover and evaluate grants — the first step in the funding process. Many of the grants in our database have straightforward applications. For larger or more competitive grants, a grant writer can help, but it's not a prerequisite to getting value from the platform.
Because the work behind it is real. Every grant is sourced, read, verified, and structured by a human — not auto-scraped by a bot. That takes time and care. The subscription keeps the database high-quality and allows us to operate without ads, data sales, or compromised incentives.
1,000+ verified grants, fellowships, and accelerators. Updated weekly. Zero dead links.
