Why This Matters

10,777 applyable grants from 2,455 funders represent billions in available funding that most organizations never find. The grant landscape is fragmented across federal agencies, state programs, and private foundations, making it difficult to identify the right opportunities. This data filters 82,810 indexed records down to the open and forecasted opportunities you can actually apply to, so researchers, nonprofits, and government agencies can target funding that matches their work instead of searching blind.

The Bottom Line

The grant landscape is vast but navigable. With 10,777 open and forecasted grants from 2,455 funders, the challenge is not scarcity. It is matching. Most organizations apply to the same well-known federal programs while thousands of foundation and state grants go undersubscribed.

Among the 6,859 grants that publish a maximum award, the median is $200K, but the distribution is heavily skewed. Just over half cap below $250K, while 669 programs offer $5M or more. Smart applicants look where others don't.
