To view the Archives, you must first register for a free membership. We strongly encourage you to explore the layout, format, and structure of our grant and funding opportunity listings through the Archives prior to making a purchase.

10. Subscription Plans and Billing
Subscriptions must be paid in full before access is granted. GrantWatch.com offers multiple subscription plans that provide access to our database of grant listings and related resources. Available options include Weekly ($22 for 7 days), Monthly ($49 for 30 days), Quarterly ($100 for 90 days), and Annual ($249 for 365 days) subscriptions. All plans are billed in U.S. dollars.
Plans automatically renew unless canceled prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you expressly authorize GrantWatch, Inc. to charge your selected payment method at the beginning of each subscription term. This recurring billing will continue unless and until you cancel or your subscription is otherwise suspended or terminated.
Your registered email address will serve as your username, and you will be prompted to create a password during checkout. Upon successful payment, your account will be upgraded to a MemberPlus+ account. If subscription details are not immediately visible, it is recommended that you log out and log back in to refresh your session. Should you believe that an incorrect email address was submitted during registration, you must promptly contact support@grantwatch.com for assistance.
11. Automatic Renewal Program
By submitting payment, you acknowledge and consent to GrantWatch, Inc. deducting funds from your selected payment method at the start of each subscription cycle, in accordance with your chosen plan. At checkout, you will be required to acknowledge that you understand and agree to this automatic renewal and recurring billing policy. This recurring billing continues until you cancel.
By purchasing a GrantWatch subscription, you expressly authorize GrantWatch, Inc. to charge your designated payment method at the commencement of each subscription term, pursuant to the terms of your selected subscription. This authorization remains in effect until you cancel.
The recurring nature of the billing is clearly disclosed prior to purchase, and confirmation is sent via email upon successful enrollment. You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your MemberPlus+ account and accessing the ‘My Account Settings’ section and selecting “Click to Cancel My Plan”. Alternatively, you can email support@grantwatch.com to request cancellation. Please consult the Cancellations Policy for further details.
12. Non-Tangible Goods and Digital Delivery
By purchasing a subscription, you are gaining access to a digital information service. No physical product will be shipped. Access is delivered immediately upon successful payment. Due to the nature of digital goods, refunds are limited and strictly governed by our Refund Policy.
Grant opportunities are continuously updated and added as they become available. Due to the dynamic nature of funding cycles, GrantWatch cannot guarantee the availability of specific grants at any time and is not responsible for refunds or exchanges based on the availability of grants.
13. Email Confirmations and Delivery
A confirmation email summarizing your subscription plan, terms, and refund policy will be sent upon registration. It is your responsibility to review and retain this email for your records.

If not received, check your spam, junk, or promotions folders. It is your responsibility to ensure that GrantWatch emails are not blocked or filtered. Email confirmations serve as proof of service initiation.
14. Cancellations
To cancel your subscription, you must follow the cancellation instructions provided in your Account Settings prior to your next billing date. Cancellation requests via email to support@grantwatch.com must include a confirmation email reply or acknowledgment from our support team. We retain logs of all cancellation attempts for verification purposes.
You may cancel your subscription at any time by accessing your account dashboard and selecting “Click to Cancel My Plan” within your Account Settings page. To prevent charges for the subsequent billing cycle, cancellation must be completed before the commencement date of the next subscription term.
Upon cancellation, no further charges will be incurred. Your subscription will remain active until the conclusion of the current billing period, during which access to the service will continue. No refunds will be provided for any unused portion of the subscription term. Please consult the Refund Policy for further details.
15. Refund Policy
Refunds are issued only under specific circumstances as outlined in our Refund Policy. It is your responsibility to read and understand the policy before subscribing.
Subscriptions are non-refundable except where otherwise required by law. GrantWatch is a digital platform providing immediate access to proprietary grant listings and tools; therefore, refunds will not be issued for partial use, missed cancellations, or user dissatisfaction unless a verifiable platform error has occurred.
> Refunds are not available once the service has been accessed and grants viewed.
> No refunds are provided if a user fails to cancel automatic payments. Users may disable the auto-renewal feature at any time through the ‘My Account Settings’ page.
> GrantWatch does not control the availability of specific grants and does not accept responsibility for refund, return, or exchange requests based on the ability or inability to locate grants for particular needs.
> Payments made under Weekly ($22.00) and Monthly ($49.00) subscription plans are non-refundable, including initial payments, even if canceled immediately after purchase.
An exception applies to Quarterly ($100.00) and Annual ($249.00) subscriptions, where users may be eligible for a partial refund if no grants have been viewed since payment, as verified by the user’s ‘My Grant Views’ page. In such cases, a charge of $49.00 per month of service used will be deducted, and the remaining balance refunded to the original payment method.
When eligible, legacy quarterly and annual subscriptions purchased prior to August 7, 2025, will be prorated and calculated at a deduction of $45.00 per month. Legacy weekly and monthly subscriptions are nonrefundable, as are the current weekly and monthly subscription plans.
To qualify for a prorated refund on quarterly or annual subscriptions, refund requests must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the recent payment date to support@GrantWatch.com. Requests submitted after 30 days will not be considered. Refund requests must include the user’s full name, phone number, and the email address associated with the GrantWatch MemberPlus+ account.
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions and submitting payment, you acknowledge and authorize enrollment in the Auto-Renew Program, allowing GrantWatch.com to charge your payment method automatically at the expiration of each subscription period until you cancel or disable auto-renewal.
GrantWatch treats all customers equally and does not make exceptions to this policy.
