GrantWatch is a grant listing directory - we are not the funding source. Therefore, we do not approve applications, award grants, or give money.

To help find grants relevant to your area, you can use the available ‘Location’ filter to narrow down your search. Our directory includes grants for all 50 USA states, U.S. territories, Canadian provinces, as well as a limited international selection.

We provide a service, saving you endless hours of research, time, and stress! You can search for grants on your own for free, but many organizations prefer to pay for the convenience of having them all in one place! We specialize in listing grants from foundations that aren't publicly available.

Our research team verifies and adds new grants to the website five days a week. Roughly 70% of our directory comprises of grants from private foundations, public foundations, corporations and charities. The remaining 30% of grants found are from local, state, and federal government funding sources.

We have x2 account types known as Member and MemberPlus+. See the benefits of each account type below:

1. Watch our demo video to learn how to navigate our site and find grants that match your needs.
2. Browse through the grants. Before subscribing, it’s ideal to see how many grants are available that match your interests. Without paying a penny, you can use the Search Filter and adjust your search based on your recipient type, location, grant interests, preferred funding source, and deadline date.

   Additionally, by checking the “include archived” box, you will be able to view the full details of expired grants, so you can become familiar with how we display the full, comprehensive details for each grant listing.

Yes! Our Testimonials page features reviews from our customers, including success stories from real-life members that have won grants. You can also view our recent reviews on Facebook and Google.

Yes! GrantWatch has a demo video available that we recommend watching before subscribing. We also feature a series of tutorial videos that are available to help you every step of the way.

Each grant has its own application process. Some applications are simple and designed to be completed without the need for a grant writer. Typically, however, larger sum grants require a more extensive application process and you may feel more comfortable with a grant writer.

We highly recommend that you apply for your first grant on your own, especially if it is your first time. When it comes down to the basics of grant writing, it’s about:

• setting aside the time,
• following instructions, and
• being able to write in a clear and understandable manner

Alternatively, if you have submitted three to five grant applications and have been unsuccessful in being awarded at least one grant, it may be time to consider hiring a professional grant writer.

We are a grant search engine and listing directory, and therefore, we do not have access to this information. Once a customer clicks on any grant of interest, they are directed to the grant funder’s site to complete and submit their application.

Not at all! Your account will give you access to our full directory which includes grants for all 50 USA states, U.S. territories, Canadian provinces, as well as an international selection. To help find grants relevant to your area, we have subsites for each location. This does not restrict you, and you will have the full utilization of GrantWatch. You do not need to purchase multiple subscriptions to access all the locations.

As part of our commitment to our Subscribers, we provide an Automatic Renewal Program as a quick and convenient way for subscribers to pay without interruption of service. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms and Conditions, including the enrollment of our Auto-Renew Program and authorize GrantWatch to charge your billing information for your continued subscription for the exact amount, until such time that you turn off or cancel the Auto-Renew program.

GrantWatch charges you upfront for the initial billing period. Your subscription is ongoing until you cancel. You will be billed at the start of each subscription period according to the plan you chose – Weekly (7 days), Monthly (30 days), Quarterly (90 days), or Annual (365 days) until you opt-out of the Auto-Renew program.

A common reason why the Auto-Renew fails may be because the expiry date on the credit card has lapsed. We would recommend updating your payment information. If you still encounter issues, please email support@GrantWatch.com.

You can cancel your account at any time by opting out of the Auto-Renew program. To cancel your subscription:

Step 1: Login to your MemberPlus+ account.
Step 2: Visit your ‘My Account’ dashboard
Step 3: Turn your Auto-Renew toggle to the OFF position.

No further amounts will be charged and your subscription will expire at the end of your current subscription period. (Watch this video demonstration)

GrantWatch sells intangible information and provides a service. We do not bear any responsibility and therefore we do not satisfy any refund requests based on a user not finding a grant for a particular need. Refunds are not available if the service was used and grants were viewed. The initial payment cannot be refunded, even if you cancel immediately after.

The exception being Quarterly and Annual Subscribers, who are eligible for a partial refund, in which case, $45.00 will be deducted for each month the service was used, and the balance will be returned to the billing information on file.

Refunds must be requested in writing to support@GrantWatch.com. We treat all customers equally, and do not make exceptions to this policy. (Read the full Terms and Conditions)

At this time, we are unable to filter grants by specific counties or cities. This is because many grants are available State and nationwide, so it's difficult to list every county. You can filter grants by state, province, and territory. Grants that are specific to counties only, will read "in eligible regions" or "in eligible locations" within the preview paragraph.

You are unable to search results based on the grant award amount. The information for the grant award amount is disclosed at the discretion of the funding source. It is common for the grant funder to not disclose this information. It is often up to the applicant to request the required funding amount. (Learn more here)

Each funding source has its own timeline and method of disbursing grants. If the information is not listed when you view the grant listing, you can contact the funding source directly for further information. The average time is six-months.
