Meet Scout. Your AI Grant Writer.
Win more grants and accelerate your mission, without becoming a database expert. Scout learns about your nonprofit, discovers aligned funders, and instantly drafts personalized outreach and grant proposals.
First 5 results in every search are free — no credit card needed.
Ask Scout anything.
Describe your work the way you'd say it to a colleague. Scout matches your project against what funders actually fund, not what their mission statement says. Then use the AI Copilot to ask follow-up questions, explore a funder's history, or get strategy advice — without leaving the page.
How Scout works.
Scout is a partner across the full grant lifecycle, not a database you operate. Here's how it works alongside you.
Learn
Scout gets to know your nonprofit
Tell Scout about your programs, the communities you serve, and what stage you're at, in plain English. Scout uses that context to personalize every funder match, every outreach email, and every application draft.
Find
Discover grants with plain English
Stop translating your project into keywords and filters. Describe what you do and who you serve — down to a specific city, county, or ZIP code. Scout surfaces the foundations whose past giving actually matches.
Network
Draft outreach in one click
Once you've found a fit, Scout drafts a personalized intro email grounded in the funder's real giving history. No templates, no blank pages.
Apply
First-draft applications
Hand Scout the opportunity and your org context. You'll start at the 60-yard line instead of staring at a blank page.
What makes Scout different.
Other tools give you a search bar and a learning curve. Scout gives you an AI partner.
Scout works on your behalf. You don't operate it.
Grant databases hand you a search bar and wish you luck. Scout learns your org, does the digging, and drafts the outreach.
Personalized to your nonprofit, not a category.
Because Scout knows your programs and the people you serve, every funder match and every email draft is grounded in your work, not a generic vertical bucket.
Backed by real giving history.
Every match is supported by the foundation's actual past awards: who they funded, for how much, when. No guessing at fit from a one-line bio.
Why can't I just use ChatGPT?
Because a chatbot writes confidently even when it's wrong. ChatGPT guesses funders from memory. Scout is built on real, historical grant award data — so every match is grounded in who actually gave.
Just ChatGPT
Confident guesses, no sources
- Invents funders, amounts, and deadlines that sound right but may not exist
- Works from frozen training data — blind to who actually funds orgs like yours
- Can't show its sources, so every match is a guess you have to double-check
- Forgets your nonprofit the moment the chat ends
