A free tool that matches your startup or nonprofit to open federal grants (no signup)

While researching non-dilutive funding for a project, I got tired of manually scrolling grants.gov trying to figure out which of the thousands of open federal opportunities actually fit. So I built a small free tool to do the matching.

What it does

Grant Match — you describe your company/nonprofit in a sentence or two, and it ranks currently-open federal grant opportunities by fit, with a match score and the real application deadline for each.

  • Runs on live grants.gov data (open opportunities, not a stale copy)
  • No signup, no login, no captcha — runs client-side in your browser
  • Free

Why I made it public

Federal grant discovery is genuinely painful if you're a small team without a grants consultant. The search UX on the official portal isn't built for "here's what I do, what should I apply to?" — so this is a thin, focused layer that answers exactly that question.

Feedback welcome — especially on the ranking. If you've hunted for SBIR/STTR or other federal funding, I'd love to know whether the matches feel right.
