For development directors at small-to-mid nonprofits

Most grant tools start with the grants. We start with your mission.

Funding Findr maps your mission, programs, and peer organizations to the funders whose giving history says they care about work like yours, so the right grants find you, in the right window, through the right relationships.

Grants come with it. Relationships come from it.

What changes

Stop hunting grants. Start working a portfolio.

The grant database makes you the researcher, every week, forever. Funding Findr inverts that: your mission, programs, and peer organizations become the search. The funders who already give to work like yours surface from there.

For development directors

Stop shotgunning applications. Start a real pipeline.

You're carrying a portfolio of 20–40 funder relationships without a research analyst. Funding Findr is the development OS that turns scattered tabs, dead links, and peer rumor into a strategic plan you can actually run.

How we compare

Pro-grade intelligence.
Not the pro-grade price tag.

Enterprise tools cost thousands a year and assume you have a research team. Cheap directories drown you in dead links. Funding Findr gives you the strategic clarity to actually win, at a price a one-person shop can carry.

The strategy you need is locked behind a price gate,
or scattered across Google, dead links, and peer rumor.

I spent three hours going through Foundation Directory results, clicked every link, and half of them were either expired or the funder had changed focus completely.

Development Director, Community Arts Nonprofit

I knew a grant existed for orgs like ours. I'd seen a peer org win it. But figuring out who funded them, at what size, whether we'd be a fit, that was all rumor.

of listings on GrantWatch are inactive: expired deadlines, closed programs, or defunct organizations. Development directors are spending real time chasing dead ends.

Built by someone who gets it

The tool Mimi built when
the system said “no.”

Mimi Newman, founder of Funding Findr
“Grant funding wasn’t hard to get. It was hard to find. And even harder to know if you were a real fit before spending 40 hours writing.”

When Mimi was trying to get a mental health organization off the ground, she hit the same wall small-to-mid nonprofits hit every day: the database tools built for development professionals cost thousands a year, and everything else was a mess of dead links and stale data.

So she built Funding Findr: personally curated, human-verified, and designed to work like an advisor who actually knows your org, not just a search box.

What our members say

Don’t take our word for it.

★★★★★
“I found three grants I actually qualified for in my first ten minutes. One of them was for $50,000 and I never would have found it on my own. The funder wasn’t even on our radar.”
Development Director at a Community Arts Nonprofit

Frequently asked questions

Funding Findr is defined as a grant intelligence platform, software that surfaces funders matched to your nonprofit's mission using giving history, peer benchmarks, and sector data, rather than a static directory you search through.

Enterprise platforms like Candid Foundation Directory Online are priced for institutions with full research teams: $3,499 to $4,999 per year. Funding Findr gives you the strategic intelligence to find the right funders, understand what they back, and position your work, without the enterprise price tag and without the enterprise overhead. Every grant listing is also human-verified, so you're never chasing dead links.

New grants are added and existing ones are verified every week. If you ever find a dead link, we'll fix it within 24 hours, and you can always report it directly from the grant listing. Our no-dead-links guarantee is the core of what we do.

Yes. Funding Findr is built for development directors at small-to-mid nonprofits. The funder intelligence, peer signal, and narrative angles are tuned to nonprofit fundraising specifically, with 990 history and Schedule I mapping at the core. It is not for individual artists, founders, students, or for-profit businesses at this time.

We give you the strategic context you'd otherwise spend hours assembling yourself: who a funder backs, what they care about, how their giving is moving, and how your work compares to the orgs they've funded before. Plus the angles ready to pitch this quarter and the language the right funders are listening for.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel directly from your account settings at any time. If you cancel mid-billing period, you'll retain access through the end of that period.
