Find Grants Faster with GrantWatch Intelligence™

GrantWatch Intelligence™ is reinventing grant searching.

You’ve probably heard of AI assistants like ChatGPT and perhaps even Grok. But did you know that GrantWatch has its own AI-powered assistant designed specifically for grants?

Meet GrantWatch Intelligence™ – your grant research and funding assistant. Instead of spending hours searching through grants, funders, and eligibility requirements, you can simply tell GrantWatch Intelligence what you’re looking for and let it do the heavy lifting.

Find Grants Smarter with GrantWatch Intelligence™

Looking for funding for your nonprofit, school, business, or personal needs? Whether you’re seeking grants for a project or researching foundations that support causes like yours, GrantWatch Intelligence can help. Simply ask your question in plain English, just as you would when chatting with a colleague or another AI assistant.

GrantWatch Intelligence™ introduces a new way to research grants by combining conversational research with GrantWatch’s Human Verified Grants, Foundation Directory, Grant Recipient Search, and verified IRS Form 990 data. Instead of searching one database at a time, users can ask questions in natural language and receive answers based on GrantWatch’s proprietary research.

Think of it as having a grant research assistant at your beck and call.

How to Access GrantWatch Intelligence™ and Understand How GWI Tokens Work

Getting started with GrantWatch Intelligence™ is simple.

To use GrantWatch Intelligence™, you’ll need an active GrantWatch membership. GrantWatch Intelligence™ is included with every GrantWatch MemberPlus+ subscription plan and provides you with complimentary GWI Welcome Tokens to use immediately. Existing eligible subscribers receive their GWI Welcome Tokens with their next automatic renewal.

GWI Tokens are virtual credits used only within GrantWatch Intelligence™. They are consumed when using conversational research features powered by GrantWatch Intelligence™. Whether you are searching for your first grant or managing an active funding pipeline, GrantWatch Intelligence™ helps you move from grant prospecting and funder research through award management and post-award reporting within a single platform.

For additional searches beyond your included token allocation, you may purchase GWI Tokens for an additional fee. Best of all, purchased tokens never expire and remain available in your account until you’re ready to use them.

Once you have MemberPlus+ account, log in and go to the My Dashboard button in the upper righthand corner and select Dashboard to visit your command center. Access the GrantWatch Intelligence™ page from the left menu bar. From there, you can begin chatting with the assistant immediately.

How to Use GrantWatch Intelligence™

Using GrantWatch Intelligence™ is as easy as asking questions naturally or freely conversing as you would with a live grant research specialist.

For example, you might ask:

• What grants are available for youth mentoring programs in Florida?
• Can you find grants in the United States for churches or faith-based organizations seeking funding for repairs and renovation projects?
• Which foundations fund 501(c)(4) organizations?
• What grant opportunities are available for startups or small businesses?
• Show me grants that could provide $20,000 in funding for a community project in New York City.

The more details you provide, the more targeted your results will be. For example, including information about your organization type, geographic location, population served, funding amount needed, and project goals can help GrantWatch Intelligence identify the most relevant funding opportunities.

In addition, you can ask follow-up questions to refine your search. If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for on the first try, simply continue the conversation. GrantWatch Intelligence can narrow your results, identify potential funders, research grant recipients, and uncover additional funding opportunities that match your needs.

You can also use GrantWatch Intelligence™ to learn more about a grant, funder, or organization. For example, you might ask whether a grant is a good fit for your project. Which organizations have received similar funding in the past? Or, what trends exist within a particular funding are?

GrantWatch Intelligence™ analyzes GrantWatch’s Human Verified Grants and combines that information with Foundation Directory intel, Grant Recipient research, and verified IRS Form 990 data to generate research-based responses.

Stop Starting From Scratch – Save Grants as You Find Them!

GrantWatch Intelligence™ is fully integrated with the GrantWatch Dashboard and the 12-Stage Grant Pipeline. When opportunities match your needs, you can save them straight to your Grant Pipeline – a simple, personal workspace included in your membership where everything stays organized until you’re ready to act.

Your Grant Pipeline holds every opportunity you want to revisit in one place. It allows you to track deadlines, add notes, monitor your progress, and collaborate with your team when needed. Overall, it’s a simple way to stay organized, reduce overwhelm, and build a clear, effective funding strategy that actually works for you.

After identifying promising funding opportunities, users can continue organizing and managing their work through the grant lifecycle, from early grant prospecting and funder research to award management and post-award reporting.

When Should You Use GrantWatch Intelligence™?

GrantWatch Intelligence™ is especially useful when you want to:

• Research funding opportunities using natural-language questions
• Identify grantmakers that support projects similar to yours
• Explore recipient funding history
• Analyze verified IRS Form 990 information
• Compare funding patterns
• Research foundations before applying
• Conduct grant prospecting more efficiently

Because GrantWatch Intelligence™ is built on GrantWatch’s proprietary Human Verified Grants and research databases, responses are based on GrantWatch’s own verified data rather than general internet content.
