Which grants should we chase this quarter?
Grant calendars are 95% noise. Most lists tell you everything that's open, not what you should actually pursue. The Grant Finder reads your institution against the open opportunities and tells you which two or three are worth your application time, and which to skip.
- 01 /
Institution profile
Mission, programs, region, prior grant history, capacity. Anything that determines fit. We pull what's public; you fill in what isn't.
- 02 /
Opportunity universe
Federal (DOL, Perkins, NSF ATE, etc.), state workforce boards, regional foundations. We compile what's currently open or announced.
- 03 /
Fit scoring
Each opportunity is scored on alignment, competition, application effort, and probability of award. Weighted to your situation.
- 04 /
Application strategy
For the top 2-3 fits, we write a one-pager: what to lead with, what to de-emphasize, who else is likely applying, and the realistic effort estimate.
