See the five-click workflow
in action.

See how GrantSonar moves from matched opportunity to Research Report, fit assessment, application tab, and first draft.

The 78-second version

Watch the whole loop first — then scroll the five steps to see each click in detail.

01
Step 1 · Find

Start with a grant that already fits.

GrantSonar reads your mission, programs, and eligibility footprint, then surfaces the grants that actually fit. No keyword roulette, no daily federal-register grind — every opportunity arrives pre-scored and pre-explained.

Grant matches

Match scores you can defend

Every grant gets a fit score with a transparent breakdown — mission alignment, eligibility, geography. Filter by tier, source, deadline, amount, or status without leaving the page.

Step 2 · Generate research

Grant research before you write.

Before you commit a single hour of writing time, GrantSonar builds a Research Report on the grant detail page: NOFO/RFP context, eligibility requirements, funder snapshot, past recipients, and the facts your draft needs to respect.

Grant detail · Research Report

Research lives where the grant lives

Run the Research Report from the grant detail page. It pulls grant requirements, available NOFO/RFP context, deadline and eligibility signals, and a funder snapshot before you start writing.

Award Intelligence

Learn from who actually got funded

Search the funded-award database to see where the money actually goes — which agencies fund work like yours, at what award size, and who has won before. Calibrate your competitive landscape with real award data instead of guesses.

Step 3 · Review fit

AI fit assessment, grounded in the research.

For Solo and Team, the Research Report triggers an org-specific AI fit assessment: strong, possible, weak, or not a fit, with red flags, obstacles, and a suggested application angle. Free users can still see shared research; they run their own org-specific assessment when they upgrade.

AI fit assessment

A verdict, not just a score.

Strong fit, possible fit, weak, or not a fit — with the reasons in plain language. See which parts of your profile drove the match, the win themes worth building the application around, and the watch-outs that could sink it. One honest read before you commit a writing hour.

A verdict, not just a score.

Steps 4-5 · Application & draft

Start the application. Generate the draft.

The application tab is wired to the Research Report, your org profile, your past winning grants, and your team. One click starts the application; one more click produces a complete first draft of every standard component, in your voice, ready to refine.

Application pipeline

Pipeline view of every active app

Kanban-style board: Drafting, In Review, Submitted. Progress bars, deadlines, AI writing intelligence surfaced next to the cards. See your full grant calendar without opening one application at a time.

Writing workspace

A first draft, in your voice

Default template is a single continuous document, like a Word doc. One Generate click drafts every standard section — Executive Summary through Sustainability Plan — grounded in the NOFO and your past winning grants. Multi-section templates (SF-424, LOI) available when you need pre-structured scaffolding.

Application tab

Start the draft without leaving the grant

The grant detail page has its own application tab. Start a draft, link it to a program, see your preparation checklist, and carry research context forward without opening a separate tool.

Operations · Calendar

Every commitment, on one calendar.

Mark a grant as "pursuing" and the deadline lands on your calendar with 14-day, 7-day, and 1-business-day reminder markers automatically. Add internal reviews, prep meetings, board check-ins, and submission milestones in the same view. Saved grants stay on your watchlist — only the ones you're actively going for clutter your week.

Calendar

Deadlines, reminders, and your own events — together

Auto-generated grant deadlines (red), pre-deadline reminders (amber), and your custom events (teal). Filter by source, toggle between month grid and list view. Mobile defaults to list so your week stays readable from anywhere.

Team & admin

Built for how grant-funded teams actually work.

The five-click workflow scales from a single development director to a multi-program organization without forcing a tooling change. Programs separate matching streams, profiles tune AI quality, and the application pipeline scales with the team — whether you are a nonprofit, a research institute, a public agency, or a higher-ed shop.
