An AI analyst that finds the grants you qualify for and writes the brief
Finds the grants you actually qualify for: it reads the RFP, checks your eligibility, and hands you a sourced one-pager with the ask and deadline.
It reads the RFP, pulls the funder's recent awards, checks your eligibility, and hands you a sourced one-pager with the deadline and ask amount.
Most of grant research is reading, and the reading never ends
A program officer changes one line in an RFP and your whole eligibility flips. A foundation that funded arts education for a decade quietly pivots to climate, and you find out three weeks after the LOI deadline. The work isn't writing the proposal — it's the hours before that, spent cross-referencing 990s, award histories, geographic limits, and matching-fund requirements to figure out which of forty open opportunities are actually worth a grantwriter's time.
The agent does that reading. Give it your org profile once — mission, 501(c)(3) status, service area, budget size, the populations you serve — and it remembers it. Then point it at a funder, a portal, or a whole list, and it browses the actual pages, pulls the latest IRS 990 to see what the foundation really gives versus what it says, and tells you whether you clear the eligibility bar before anyone drafts a word.
What it hands back, every time:
- A cited brief per opportunity: funder, program, ask range, deadline, and the exact eligibility lines that apply to you
- A go / no-go call with the reasoning, not just a score — so you can argue with it
- Recent grantees pulled from 990s or award databases, so you know your real odds
- A tracked Sheet of every opportunity it has reviewed, with status and next action
- Source links on every claim, so your board and your grantwriter can verify in one click
It is not a proposal generator and it won't pretend a long-shot is a match. It reads more carefully than a person can at 4pm on a Friday, and it shows its work so you can trust the call or overrule it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it write the actual grant proposal?
No. It does the research layer — finding funders, reading RFPs, checking eligibility, and synthesizing a cited brief. Your grantwriter still writes the narrative, but starts with the homework done and the long-shots already filtered out.
How does it know if we're eligible?
You give it your org profile once: tax status, service area, budget size, programs, populations served. It matches every opportunity against that and tells you the specific requirement that passes or fails — matching funds, geographic restriction, applicant type.
Where does it get funder information?
It browses the funder's own guidelines and portal pages live, and pulls public IRS Form 990 filings and award databases. Every claim in a brief links back to its source so you and your board can verify it.
Can it watch a list of foundations for new opportunities?
Yes. Give it a watchlist and set a schedule — say every Monday morning — and it re-scans for reopened programs, new RFPs, and changed deadlines, then emails you what's new.
What if it's wrong about a match?
It shows the reasoning and the source line behind every go / no-go call, so you can see exactly why it decided that and overrule it. It won't dress up a long-shot as a fit to look productive.
How much does it cost?
$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. Setup takes about four minutes — give it your org profile and a funder list, and it starts reading. Fasrad is in public beta.
