What grant databases does Grants Finder search?
Grants Finder searches Grants.gov for federal opportunities, state grant portals, and private foundation databases. It covers thousands of active opportunities across health, education, environment, human services, and arts. Results include deadlines, award amounts, and eligibility criteria.
Can Lead Finder help me identify major donor prospects?
Yes. Lead Finder can filter by job title, employer, location, and signals like nonprofit board memberships that indicate philanthropic engagement. This helps you build a prospect list of high-capacity individuals in target industries or geographies whose interests align with your cause.
