An AI analyst that finds the grants you qualify for and writes the brief
It 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 proposal is the easy part. The hours go into what comes before it. You cross-reference 990s, award histories, geographic limits and matching-fund requirements to work out which of forty open opportunities deserve a grantwriter's time.
The agent does that reading. Give it your org profile once and it remembers it: mission, 501(c)(3) status, service area, budget size, the populations you serve. Then point it at a funder, a portal or a whole list. It browses the actual pages and pulls the latest IRS 990 to see what the foundation really gives compared with what it says it gives. You find out 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 spelled out, 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
Research comes first, and a long-shot gets called a long-shot. Once an opportunity clears, it can draft the LOI or a first proposal outline straight from the brief and your org profile. 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?
It drafts the LOI or a first proposal outline. Its core is the research layer: finding funders, reading RFPs, checking eligibility and writing a cited brief. From there it drafts from the brief and your org profile, so your grantwriter starts with the homework done, the long-shots filtered out and a draft to shape.
How does it know if we're eligible?
From your org profile. You give it tax status, service area, budget size, programs and populations served once. It matches every opportunity against that and names the specific requirement that passes or fails, such as matching funds, a geographic restriction or applicant type.
Where does it get funder information?
From the source. 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 where it came from, so you and your board can verify it.
Can it watch a list of foundations for new opportunities?
Yes. Give it a watchlist and a schedule, say every Monday morning. 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?
You'll see why and can overrule it. Every go / no-go call shows the reasoning and the source line behind it. A long-shot is labeled a long-shot, even when that makes the week look less productive.
How much does it cost?
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Setup takes about four minutes. Give it your org profile and a funder list and it starts reading. Fasrad is in public beta.
