Data sources

Every listing comes from a public government source and links back to it.

Sources

• Grants.gov, through its public search and opportunity API. We keep posted listings whose applicant types include 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
• California Grants Portal, through the state's open data set on data.ca.gov. We keep active listings whose applicant types include nonprofits.

What we copy and what we do not

Titles, agencies, close dates, award figures and links are copied from the source record. Causes come from the source's own category field. The one-line eligibility note is built from the applicant types the source lists. We drop any item whose deadline has passed.

The short description under each title is the opening of the source's own description. A language model does not write or edit it.

Limits

• Federal listings appear when they opened in the last 45 days or close in the next 45 days.
• Most states other than California have no open data feed, so they are not covered yet.
• Foundation and corporate funders are not covered yet.
• Funders change notices without warning. Read the official listing before you apply.

GrantFern is not a government service. No agency endorses it, and agency names appear only to say where a listing came from.
