Terms of Service

Effective and last updated November 15, 2026.

Acceptance

These terms are an agreement between you and Quietlathe LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (2800 E. Enterprise Ave Ste 333, Appleton, WI 54913), which runs GrantFern. By using this site you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

The service, and its early-access status

GrantFern publishes web pages and, once it launches, a weekly email that list public grant opportunities with links to the official source. It is in early access. Today you can read the pages, use the free calendar files, and join the early-access list. The weekly email and Pro are not live yet, and we may change, delay or drop any feature. Joining the list is free and creates no obligation for you or for us.

Not advice, and check the source

GrantFern is information only. It is not grant, legal, financial, tax or accounting advice, and it is not a grant-writing service, a funder, or a government service. No agency endorses it. Listing data comes from Grants.gov and the California Grants Portal and may be incomplete or out of date. Funders change or withdraw notices without warning. We aim to copy deadlines and amounts exactly, but errors and delays happen. You are responsible for confirming eligibility, deadlines and requirements on the official listing before you apply. We do not guarantee that you will receive any funding.

Acceptable use

Do not scrape the site at a rate that slows it for others, resell the lists as your own product, try to break or probe the site's security, submit other people's email addresses without permission, use the sign-up form to send spam, or send us unlawful content.

Payments, when checkout opens

Checkout is not open. Pro is planned at $79 a year or $9 a month, in US dollars, plus any taxes that apply. When checkout opens, payments will be processed by Stripe, and we never see or store full card numbers. Subscriptions will renew until canceled, and you will be able to cancel any time; the plan runs to the end of the paid period. We may change prices for future periods with 30 days of notice. Details will be shown before you pay, and the plan and price may change before launch.

Refunds

See the Refund Policy.

Our content and licence

Our layout, text and code belong to Quietlathe LLC. You may read the site and use the free calendar files for your own organization. Listing data comes from public government sources and stays subject to their terms. Official titles and agency names belong to their owners.

Third-party services and links

The site links to Grants.gov, the California Grants Portal and other sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for them. Payments, when open, run through Stripe under its own terms. Links on the Other grant tools page are not paid placements today.

Disclaimers

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, completeness, availability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Quietlathe LLC is not liable for lost funding, missed deadlines, lost profits, or indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it, or $50 if you paid nothing. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Indemnity

You will cover reasonable losses and costs that Quietlathe LLC incurs from claims caused by your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service, to the extent the law allows.

Termination

You can stop using the service at any time and ask us to remove your email. We may suspend or end access, or end the early-access list or the service, at any time, including for breach of these terms.

Governing law and venue

These terms follow the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, and you and we consent to them, unless your local law says otherwise.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the new terms. For material changes, we will say so on this page.
