Compare recipient, purpose, geography, award amount, and Form 990-PF filing-year evidence against the project.
AI-assisted funding discovery
Find the funding that fits the work.
Fundspring turns your project context into relevant U.S. private foundation and federal grant opportunities—then gives your team one place to choose, pursue, and manage them.
Built for U.S. nonprofit teams pursuing foundation and federal funding.
The research bottleneck
Finding the right funders shouldn't feel like searching in the dark.
Traditional research leaves nonprofit teams moving between directories, spreadsheets, eligibility pages, and giving records—often without a confident answer about fit.
- 01Too many places to search
- 02Too much manual comparison
- 03Too little shared context
- 04Too much time lost to guesswork
Fundspring helps your team move from “what is out there?” to “what should we pursue next?”
How Fundspring works
Your project becomes the search strategy.
Fundspring uses the information your team already knows—mission, people served, geography, outcomes, budget, and need—to build a more relevant opportunity shortlist.
