GrantStation Reviews & Product Details

GrantStation has been THE key to helping organizations like ours to find, vet, bookmark, and schedule promising funding opportunities. I cannot tell you how many times I've been able to find a nugget of information that opens doors to other funders, foundations, and the like.

Likewise, their newsletter is superb, and it allows me to share expiring grant opportunities that are irrelevant to us with other organizations that are a better fit. I continue to highly recommend GrantStation to every nonprofit that is searching for grants! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GrantStation takes LOTS of getting used to - it's not quite as intuitive as it could be, but the power of its filters, project bookmarking capabilities, and scheduling features far outweigh its difficulty. Frequency of use paired with their tutorials is a game-changer. One thing I really am not fond of is the price tag on many of their grant training webinars. It's hard for small organizations to justify approximately $70 for a single training. Those prices are meant for larger organizations that have the budgets to sustain those prices. I'd also love to see better searchability for past webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Liberia’s only full-time, nonprofit music academy, ANAM Liberia recently began building a foundation prospect list to support our youth music-and-literacy programs. GrantStation made the process remarkably easy and effective.

Why we’re impressed:

International reach. We quickly identified European and U.S. funders open to projects in West Africa—something few databases offer.

Smart “fit” metrics. Mission and geography filters highlight funders that actively support arts, education, and underserved children, saving us hours of trial and error.

Prospect Manager. We can tag, rank, and export funders into a shared calendar, keeping our small team on the same page.

Training resources. Webinars and sample documents help staff understand donor expectations and craft stronger proposals.

Within a week, we had a realistic pipeline of grant opportunities tailored to our music-education mission. For nonprofits operating outside the U.S. or serving international communities, GrantStation is an indispensable prospecting tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is that it only supports single users, with no option to add multiple users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GrantStation is an incredible resource for nonprofits. We have been a customer for years and have appreciated the user-friendly environment and the quality of the information contained in the database.

Many grant research tools exist but few offer the quality that GrantStation provides. One unique offering is that they vet funders to ensure they are accepting proposals. This saves significant time and frustration for both nonprofit and the funder.

I love being able to access the 990 on the site and click through to the funder's websites. GrantStation is reasonably priced and saves significant time when prospecting new funders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can create multiple projects and save grant opportunities that are relevant to that project. It makes it easy to organize potential funders and retrieve information later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes filtering doesn't weed out funders that my organization isn't eligible for, but for the most part, it's accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With recent funding cuts both state and federally, GrantStation has proved invaluable in helping our arts nonprofit find new funding resources through both regional and national foundations and philanthropies. The stars certainly aligned for us to find GrantStation at our most vulnerable time. It is easy to navigate, offers multiple search options, has great customer support, and allows us to make valuable notes along the way as we explore opportunities. We use it almost every day in some capacity. Being cloud based makes implementation a breeze and allows us to integrate seamlessly with our practiced way of tracking grant activity.

The information about past funding is very accessible and helpful in preparing an application. The ability to create lists of potential funders for different projects and clients is very useful in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the list of keywords to choose from a little clunky. I often find myself wishing I could search more easily by my own keywords. The links to state funding opportunities are helpful, but I often wish there was a way to search for state funding opportunities on GrantStation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of any downsides. I appreciate the updates they have made recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to filter my searhces and see high-level overviews of what the funder typically funds. The level of details before I go to a granter's website and dive deep into an application has saved me a ton of time in my grant research.
