The dynamic nature of the information (Instrumentl constantly searches for new prospects and grant opportunities - the data doesn't just sit there waiting to be found), responsiveness of product and company, the friendly user interface.

A sure win for organizing and planning grants!

I really appreciate the organization Intrumentl allows me to have and the platform layout. It truly has such a wonderful easability. The layout allows me to see what's coming so I can plan ahead and allows me access to grantees institutional information and tax documents so I can make a thorough decision on whether the requirements and eligibility matches our need. I've not regretted investing in our organization with this tool.

Instrumentl is the best tool available to identify and manage grants all in one place

Instrumentl is the most comprehensive tool for researching foundation grant prospects. Their search fields for geography, field of work, and type of grants are incredibly comprehensive and useful. Using the Grant Tracker feature to manage grant calendars saves significant time but updating deadlines automatically and flagging new funding opportunities that meet the project parameters.

Having one place where we can run (and save!) searches for grants, get a great initial research-overview on the prospect, and manage the grantseeking process is truly beneficial. I recommend Instrumentl to nonprofit colleagues all the time!

At learngrantwriting.org, we teach people how to be freelance grant writers, and Instrumentl is a must-have tool for the job. We love the design and usability of the site. This sounds strange, but it is peaceful to use, despite looking at and navigating a lot of data! We like how easy it is to set up a search. Love the way 990-form data is presented. Nothing is more painful than looking at those forms manually. There's no going back once you see how Instrumentl presents the data. Plus, we love how the new grants continue to pop up for the project search over time. That's a small sampling of what we like about it.

I like that I can have multiple projects set up (for different organizations and programs).

Massive Time Saver and Super Smart Grant Management Software

Instrumentl makes finding grants for my clients so much easier than I could ever do on my own for much less time and effort. It's like having the key to ensuring I am knocking on the right door; finding the funders most likely to fund the projects my clients are running.

Friendly UI and Excellent Grant Curator

I’ve loved the user experience with Instrumentl. As a grant consultant, I use the platform for multiple organizations and have found it incredibly easy to use. Instrumentl helped me get started in just a few minutes, and the software regularly sends me new grants to which my clients are able to apply. It’s simple to review funder’s 990s, background details, and former grantees.

Rich Resource and Platform for Managing Institutional Funding

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.

Convenient and accurate

The one thing I value most about Instrumentl is that it cut my "grant sleuthing" time down significantly. Setting up a project by using well-defined search criteria is easy and once the project is created, Instrumentl continously searches the web for possible matches. At this point I invest thirty minutes a week reviewing my matches and I am fairly confident that I don't miss any important RFPs. Thanks to Instrumentl I was already able to discover (and win!) a $50,000 grant I would otherwise never have found. Instrumentl is totally worth the investment.

Instrumentl is saving me time while finding new funding opportunities!

Instrumentl seems to be more "intuitive" than most of the search engines I have been using and doesn't require the correct spellings or abbreviations usually to identify a funding opportunity and pull up a profile. I love that all tidbits of information come up onto one neat profile that I can save, share with nonprofit clients or just extract the Intel I need most. I also noted that there are consistently newer IRS 990 reports than on Guidestar, Foundation Directory Online and GrantMatch.

Instrumentl makes everything about grantmaker prospecting easier compared to other databases that I've used. You know you're only looking at active grant opportunities and results are easy to sort by deadlines and other factors as well. As a professional grant writer, I've also been able to use the database to sort my results into a grants calendar that I can present to clients without creating an entirely separate document in Microsoft Office. The calendar is simple to update with additional prospects whenever we update our research.

Instrumentl's system has grants from local to federal. I list the cause I'm supporting, and it goes out and finds the grants applicable to the project! And, Instrumentl doesn't stop there -- it allows me to track the grant and whether I was successful in getting the grant. I love the reports which I can download and keep up with the grants I should work on first.

Intrumentl is KEY

Instrumentl approached our organization in early 2020 and pitched their platform to me. It didn't take long to recognize that it was a valuable tool that was easy to navigate. We've applied for over 100 grants throughout the pandemic and Instrumentl has made it SO EASY to find, categorize, organize, and distribute that grant writing workload. I honestly can't say enough good about it. If you're looking for an intuitive platform that can help your team facilitate the grant-seeking/grant application process, look no further.

Instrumentl is a great value for our agency. Its easy to set up projects and find potential funders. I can efficiently review those potential funders with the information right at my fingertips and share the best opportunities with my ED with a couple of clicks. The weekly emails really help keep me focused on my grant work. But the best thing about Instrumentl is the team. They are responsive, cordial and truly invested in seeing their clients succeed.

A prospect research database that takes the misery out of searching

Several things, including its email alerts on new prospects, how it exports a report with all of the basic information into an excel spreadsheet, how you can add prospects, it seems to have new and different prospects that I can't find elsewhere, its numerous prospects it provides aligned with your search, it added new prospects all the time

What I like best is that we can find new leads and can track and organize where I am with any proposal. I also like that I can manage grants that are relevant and not relevant so I'm not bogged down on seeing the same grants over that don't apply to us.

Gamechanger for nonprofit fundraising

As a development consultant, I am bombarded with solutions that don't live up to their claims. I was highly skeptical of Instrumentl, but reluctantly tried it since one of my clients asked me to take a look. I was immediately hooked! It is an elegant, simple user interface and most importantly it really works to easily surface not only the usual grant opportunities that one would find with other products out there, but it also unearths unique and new opportunities that other products miss. I rarely recommend products to my clients, but this is an exception. Highly recommend.

It's one of the most streamlined and convenient databases I've used in my 20 years as a grant consultant. The ability to easily find funders for any project or organization is streamlined and easy to use. And I especially appreciate the weekly updates I receive in my email inbox alerting me of changes to grant deadlines and even new grant opportunities. The price point is also very reasonable compared to other databases that offer similar services.

Instrumentl: Essential for Every Nonprofit

The best feature is the integrated, comprehensive tracking component which is native to the platform. Instrumentl is truly innovative in how it has created an engine that not only locates available and applicable grants based on the fields of interest for the searching organization, but the ability to manage the details such as inputting a desired submission date. The ability to likewise select a status to reflect the stage a particular grant is at helps for accountability and organization as well. With respect to workflow, Instrumentl offers so many bells and whistles that every nonprofit could benefit from having, and they are able to do so at impressively affordable prices. Especially with how often Instrumentl is able to provide the supplemental 990 forms of the foundations and grantmakers they feature. It feels like giving small, independent nonprofits every opportunity to be informed when pursuing potential grant matches. The customer service is second to none--they do everything just short of applying for the grant on your behalf. I have advocated for Instrumentl to be adopted by every nonprofit I work with, even though it theoretically push me out of a job, precisely because I have seen firsthand the effectiveness of this platform and think nonprofits, especially in this fiscal climate, need every hand up and advantage they can get!

Instrumentl - the BEST place to find opportunities & take your organization to the next level!!!

Instrumentl makes the complexity of seeking out and finding well-aligned funding opportunities so easy! The first time I used Instrumentl, I was trying to find potential funders for multiple complex projects/programs for our organization's affiliates in Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, West Virginia, and our hospitals, and under an incredibly intense time crunch. At the time, I was using another well-known search engine but was so stressed out and frustrated realizing that I was looking at a multi-day, possibly multi-week, search and deliver, and would not be able to meet my deadline. I knew there had to be something better, so I found Instrumentl and their 14-day free trial and tried it. WOW!! Through Instrumentl, I was able to accomplish in 6 hours...SIX HOURS...what would have taken days or weeks with the other search engine. I absolutely LOVED Instrumentl so much on that very first try, that I called them and asked if I could be a beta-test customer for their upgrades and any new services. I no longer stress out when met tight deadline challenges because I know without a doubt that Instrumentl has my back!!!

Instrumentl has been instrumental!

Instrumntl has helped me find donors that I hadn't found through other grant search engines. I'm also very fond of the fact that the donor profiles are broken down by giving areas so that I can easily select the state I'm working in and better see what and where the funder likes to support. The interface is user friendly and I have been able to find and secure new money for a few of my clients. I like having the ability to break down searches by program or capital or capacity (etc) and also by genre, even down to specific animals. Instrumentl has been instrumental (hah) in expanding research opportunities for my clients and I. Further, they've been SUPER responsive to letting us create a plan that works best for us, instead of just locking us in for an entire year.

I love using the Instrumentl, it's been such a time-saver and what we've already landed in grants has made the money spent on our subscription well worth it. Grant prospecting used to take me hours and nothing is worse than feeling like you sending grant applications out into the void. This platform gives you key details to hone in on the grants most suited to your mission, areas of service, and organization goals. One of the things I like best is being able to quickly see where a funder focuses their grants (new grantees, arts & education, etc).

Instrumentl puts everything I need in one place - grant research, grant tracking, to-do lists, deadlines, leads to new funders. Competing platforms do some of these things; Instrumentl is the only one I've seen that does all of them.

Enjoying Instrumentl

Like best is when creating new projects to add keywords and filters to have similar grants be sent rather than having to research for them. Instead, they are sent to us to make it easier and faster to review. Like the option to like or follow a funder and see the other grants they have out. And having the grants on a list and sorted by the months make it a lot easier to know when grants are due.

Instrumentl allows me to be very efficient with my time!

The listings of potential funders include both Foundations and Granting agencies, so I can just go to one place to see what potential funding sources are out there for a project.

Instrumentl is the ONE!

Instrumentl is our go-to grants research portal. As a seasoned grants writer, I have used many databases for grant searches, and by far - Instrumentl has the most comprehensive listing of grants and funders available. As a health system, our front-line services are in desperate need of funding, and countless times, we have found opportunities through Instrumental. It's not just a tool; it's making a real difference in the lives of its customers. This is the one and only system you need.

I'm a grant writer for a few different nonprofits and I've used FDO, FoundationSearch, GrantStation - Instrumentl is my favorite. Instrumentl is well-designed and easy to use. I can easily organize multiple prospect lists and I love being able to quickly save prospects + store my notes.

I recommend Instrumentl all the time because Instrumentl proactively finds grants that you should be pursuing. This saves me time and my clients $$. The best part: Instrumentl has recommended funders not on my radar AND some have resulted in new funding opportunities!

Instrumentl is the grant tool of my dreams! I have always wished for a tool to provide matches based on our needs. Instrumentl does that AND helps us track our progress and sends deadline reminders.


I especially love how the information area for each grant lets me directly access the funder's 990s and past grantees instead of my needing to locate the 990 elsewhere and then wading through two dozen pages getting to the grants awarded.

Instrumentl saves us time, reminds us of deadlines and I can share the information with my peers. Other databases we’ve used don't give us detailed information about the organization, they just give us general information about the funder, but no deadlines, and we don’t have a way to save searches, but Instrumentl provides a great way to do so.

I'm very impressed with Instrumentl. I can now have all grant information in one place. Not only do I receive a massive amount of new matches on our projects, I can also see deadlines and pipeline status at a glance. It's been great to share the load with teammates through the platform and stay organized.

We just received our first gift as a result of using Instrumentl. That's $10,000 in funds from using the tool this year so far. Our grant applications are double over what we have done in previous years due to finding funders that are a good match for us. Our grant writer is thrilled with the tool and says she is busier than ever and likes it!

This is the best tool for finding & organizing grants that are a fit for our non-profit. I used to hire someone to do research but now I can do it on my own with Instrumentl AND Instrumentl automatically reminds me of deadlines. Instrumentl is a BIG DEAL!

One of the things I love about Instrumentl is that it cuts down the amount of time I spend researching foundations. Every name I’ve plugged in to its “search” feature so far has popped up with a list of past grants and easy access to 990’s. It’s also made it very easy to share this information with my boss with a built in email sharing function. I wish I had more time to use it the way it was intended – that is to say as a means of finding new grant opportunities and tracking progress. Until that day comes, it has been very helpful to have a user-friendly database of information at my fingertips.
