Writing about grant funding? Our data desk is open.

GrantSonar maintains one of the larger open datasets on U.S. grantmaking — foundations, itemized giving history, and live open opportunities. If you're reporting on foundation giving, the nonprofit funding gap, federal or state grant flows, or what AI is changing about grant seeking, we can help with numbers: cited, dated, and reproducible.

Citable numbers

  • 236,000+ U.S. grantmaking foundation profiles
  • 4.6 million itemized foundation-to-recipient grant records (IRS Form 990 / 990-PF filings)
  • 135,000+ funders with itemized giving history
  • 4,000+ live, open U.S. grant opportunities monitored daily

Every figure is rounded down from live database counts. Methodology, dates, and month-over-month trends live on the statistics page — it includes a ready-to-copy citation.

Grant statistics (citable, updated daily)

  • Background & fact-checking — how grant seeking, eligibility, and funder research actually work for nonprofits and public agencies.
