Is this a grant or scholarship service? Do I pay to apply? +
No. We don’t give money, apply for you or promise you’ll win. We tell you when applications open, with a link to the program’s own page. Applying is between you and the funder, and it never costs anything through us.
What if applications are already open? +
We check before you pay. If the program is taking applications now, we show you the page and the deadline so you can apply instead of paying us.
The page says “applications open in March.” Is that a match? +
No. A date announced for later isn’t an opening. We wait for a page that says applications are open now, with a deadline still ahead.
Does it repeat every year? +
Yes, if your term is long enough. When it opens we email you and keep watching, so a 3-year watch ($17.99) can tell you about each year’s opening.
How fast will I hear? +
We check daily to weekly, more often as the opening looks close. It isn’t real time, but most application windows run for weeks.
Will you remind me before the deadline? +
Yes. When we find applications open, the email gives the deadline, and a week before it we send one reminder with the same link. If the deadline is less than a week away when we find it, the first email is your reminder.
Can I get every new grant that matches my mission? +
Yes. Describe your mission, like “new grants for youth mentoring programs.” At every check we read the newest federal opportunities on Grants.gov for your words and search the web for foundation, state and corporate grants. Each new one that fits comes by email, at most one a day, with the words that show it and a link to apply.
