Every year, millions of organizations search for grant money. The uncomfortable truth — which many sites in this industry avoid saying — is that traditional grants serve a narrow slice of them: primarily nonprofits, researchers, and specific programs. Most for-profit businesses searching for grants will never receive one. What they can access is a wide range of legitimate funding, including government-backed SBA lending, equipment financing, lines of credit, and more.

That honesty is our product. Our free funding readiness assessment takes about two minutes and tells you where you actually stand: which funding paths fit your profile today, which do not, and what would need to change. Qualified businesses can choose to be connected with vetted funding specialists. Everyone gets access to our grant research tools, and our Pro membership adds an always-current grant database, deadline alerts, personalized matches, and monthly funding reports.

Who we are

Grants.com is operated by Hodie LLC, a Washington-registered company, and has been under current operation since 2024. Our team combines experience building and operating digital platforms with data engineering — we designed and maintain everything on this site, including the assessment system, the grant database, and the search technology. We’re deliberately small: no sales floor, no call center, just the people who built the platform and the funding specialists and grant experts we partner with.

How we make money

We earn revenue in three disclosed ways:

1. Compensation from funding partners when users request to be connected and a partner serves them.
2. Grants.com Pro memberships.
3. Affiliate partnerships for services such as business banking and credit building, clearly disclosed where they appear.

We never charge for the assessment, never charge to apply for any grant, and never sell your information to list brokers.
