Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to subscribe to use FindGrants?
- No. Grant and federal contract discovery is always free. You can search, score, and save matches without creating an account or paying anything.
- What's the difference between Pro and Writer?
- Pro ($19/month) includes 1 application credit per month plus weekly alerts and deadline reminders — best if you apply to a few grants a year. Writer ($99/month) includes 5 credits per month — best if you apply more actively.
- What's an application credit?
- A credit is a software entitlement that unlocks the AI application builder for one grant. Credits are not contingent on grant outcomes — they're consumed when you start a draft, regardless of whether you ultimately submit or win.
- What if I don't win the grant?
- The application materials are yours to keep and reuse. Project narrative, budget framework, and evaluation plan all transfer across applications with minor edits. FindGrants does not guarantee grant approval, and credits are not refunded based on grant outcomes.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes — grant and contract discovery is completely free, forever. You can also start any application in the wizard for free; the full AI-drafted, export-ready application pack is a one-time $99 unlock per grant.
- What about the Team Plan vs Consultant Plan?
- Team Plan is for one nonprofit with up to 5 internal users. Consultant Plan is for a grant writer who manages multiple separate client organizations from a single dashboard.
