I'm limited to 10 projects at the level of my membership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instrumentl?

Instrumentl works for us beautifully on two levels. First, it identifies opportunities for funding specific projects and our organization as a whole. It has become our primary research engine. Just as importantly, it does a wonderful job of keeping us organized in our institutional funding efforts, tracking by date and project so that we can open the platform and get right to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instrumentl?

We have not experienced any downsides so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instrumentl solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're a small shop, and our capacity for institutional funding research is small. Instrumentl has solved that problem. It's also provided a very easy way for us to keep track of our institutional fundraising deadlines and priorities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Instrumentl?

Intrumentl has done an incredible job of compiling grant opportunities that align with programs. Its filter tool and robust tagging system allowed me to quickly find matching grant opportunities, many of which I had not previously discovered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instrumentl?

I have been using Instrumentl for over a month, and I have no significant complaints about the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Instrumentl:

Although the service is costly initially, I do not doubt that it will help organizations discover new funding opportunities. Use the free trial to its full extent and consider the options carefully. It is worth your time to consider the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instrumentl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instrumentl has streamlined my grant-seeking process and made me aware of numerous additional opportunities. I specifically appreciate that my selected opportunities are organized by due date, and if a date is unknown it is estimated based on the previous year's submission date.

What do you like best about Instrumentl?

Insrumentl's grant searching platform makes it easy to search for grants by category and keep multiple grant searches organized. I like being able to add team members for collaboration and that all of the information needed to contact the foundation or apply to the grant is at my fingertips. I also like that the grant opportunities are easily organized by application deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instrumentl?

I wish that there was the availability of more than 5 grant searches under the basic membership without having to go up to the next tier. It would also be nice to easily categorize a grant that comes up under one project criteria into another project criteria if I feel that it is a match. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instrumentl solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use instrumentl to search for grant opportunities as a grant writer and nonprofit consultant. It makes the search process simple. It is also nice to have the grant management tools to manage deadlines throughout the submission process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gauri Manglik of Instrumentl

Hi Camille! Thanks so much for your kind words -- we're so thrilled to hear Instrumentl is helping you stay organized and manage deadlines :)

We have recently changed our plans & pricing options, and our new Basic plan comes with 10 projects (grant searches) for $162/month. We do also offer custom plans if an organization needs a different solution!

To re-categorize a grant from one project into another, you can select a different project from the dropdown when saving the grant. You can also change the project selection later, if you want to re-categorize the grant after saving it and evaluating where it is the best match :)

Please reach out to us with any other questions or feedback you may have -- we're here to help!

What do you like best about Instrumentl?

I like that I can search for grants and set up a calendar within the software to track submissions. I especially like the automatic notifications of any deadline changes and new grant matches that may impact my annual grant calendar and timely submissions -- this is a huge timesaver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Instrumentl?

There have been times where I know of a foundation that exists and cannot find it within the Instrumentl database or the deadline doesn't match with what I find on the foundation website. However, I just contact them directly with a suggested change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Instrumentl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving time with tracking grant submissions. The automatic notifications of any deadline changes, new grant matches, and deadline reminders via email are quite helpful. I can also save grants by projects, which helps me locate grant opportunities for different programs. I also do grant writing for other nonprofits outside of my part-time job. Instrumentl is easy to use to separate by clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gauri Manglik of Instrumentl

Hi Kellye, thanks for your review! I'm so glad the automatic notifications are saving you time :)

Through our "Quick Find" feature, you can look up any foundation registered with the IRS by name or EIN; then for each foundation you can see all the 990 return info available from the IRS. Sometimes name variations can make it tricky to get the exact foundation you're thinking of, so do keep reaching out if you can't find it right away -- we're always happy to help you find what you're looking for!

Also, please know we take deadlines very seriously, and our team is constantly reviewing grant data for updates & accuracy. As you say -- if you ever see anything that doesn't match, please let us know right away and we'll correct the error, plus do a review of the reasons behind the error & make any necessary improvements :)

Thanks for being a customer and let us know if you have any other questions or feedback!
