What you receive

A practical starting list—not a data dump.

Funders screened first

Foundation candidates are filtered for an application signal, real giving geography, and grant sizes that overlap your request before they are ranked.

Evidence beside each match

See recent grantees, actual grant ranges, application instructions, deadlines, restrictions, and the source year behind the recommendation.

A clear next move

The report ranks the shortlist, explains why each funder may fit, and gives you a research order. You still verify current eligibility and write the application.

Why the public record matters

Broad mission fit is not enough.

A foundation can sound perfect and still be a poor lead because it funds only preselected groups, gives in a different geography, or typically awards far less than you need. FunderFit checks those practical signals using public filings before making a recommendation.

Foundation records are historical and may lag current practice. Every profile and report labels the source vintage so you can confirm present priorities directly with the funder.

Bring these four things
  1. Your mission: who you serve, where, and why.
  2. One project: what the requested money will accomplish.
  3. A realistic ask: the amount you intend to request.
  4. Your judgment: verify every deadline and eligibility rule before applying.
Choose the depth you need

Start small. Pay once.

Use the free foundation matcher without sharing an email or mission. It filters filing-backed profiles by cause, location, and request size. You can also browse the public funder directory and current federal grants for nonprofits.

FunderFit uses public IRS Form 990-PF disclosures and official federal sources. The IRS publishes the foundation filings; records can lag current funder activity, so confirm details before applying.
