New forever-free foundation and grant search tool
Hey all,
I'm a longtime software engineer that built my career in the nonprofit space. After a few years in other industries, I missed creating for that group. So I started doing some research.
I was shocked when I learned what the big name (and small name) tools charge to access IRS foundation and grant filings. So I decided to publish a forever-free funder search to democratize access to the data.
Free search of IRS foundation, grant, and organization data with robust filtering, saved searches, and some handy summary data for assessing foundation giving patterns. Oh, and it automatically filters to foundations that are open to applications.
There are paid plans for power user features and automations, but the core search of foundations, grants, and organizations is designed to remain free and unlimited. Small nonprofits or independent grant researchers shouldn't be priced out of access to the information that can help them with their work.
As with any platform, it's a work in progress, so I welcome feedback. I mostly want to get the free search into the hands of people who can take advantage of it.
Thanks!
