Find every grant and RFP you qualify for, weekly
Sixteen sources swept each week, sixty-three postings read against your eligibility profile, fifty-one cut with reasons and four added to a deadline-sorted pipeline sheet. Twenty minutes of triage.
Opportunities appear across dozens of surfaces (federal and state portals, council procurement pages, foundation sites that post twice a year, sector newsletters) and the good ones have four-to-eight-week windows. Doing it honestly is two to four hours a week of portal patrol, and skipping two Fridays starves the pipeline three months later.
A companion visits each source on schedule in your own browser, portal accounts included, reads new postings against your eligibility profile, and appends the survivors to a pipeline sheet sorted by deadline, each with a link, a fit note and the reason anything borderline was kept or cut.
What does the eligibility filter look like?
A written profile, maintained like code: legal form and registrations, geography, sector codes, size thresholds, certifications held, award-size range worth pursuing, and the hard exclusions such as cost-share you cannot meet or insurance tiers you do not hold. Every new posting gets read against it.
The output is three piles: fits, fails with a reason, and borderline with the specific question that would resolve it ("requires state registration: do we have it in Ohio?"). The borderline pile is where automation earns trust, because it turns your review into answering five questions instead of reading fifty postings.
A nonprofit’s funding pipeline
A youth-services nonprofit tracks two federal portals, one state portal, two grant databases their memberships include, and eleven foundations whose sites they used to check by hand. The weekly routine sweeps all sixteen against their profile: geography, program areas, budget floor of $10,000, no cost-share above 10%.
A representative week: sixty-three new postings seen, fifty-one cut with reasons logged, five duplicates collapsed across databases, four added to the pipeline, three held with questions. The sheet stays deadline-sorted with a weeks-remaining column, and a Monday summary flags anything closing within three weeks that has no owner. Two portal hours become twenty minutes of triage. The research motion is the same as automated web research; the pipeline rhythm mirrors weekly reporting.
Where does the freed time go?
Into the writing that actually wins grants, and the relationships behind it.
Go/no-go judgment needs people who know the funder politics and your capacity, and the discovery pass clears the first third of the funnel so the other two get the attention.
Two things make it sharper. Review the criteria profile quarterly, because a stale one filters for the organisation you were last year. And point the companion at the paid databases you subscribe to using your own access, including the ones that post an RFP as a PDF on a bare page.
