Happy New Year From All of Us at GrantWatch

Happy New Year from the GrantWatch family to you and yours! I want to thank all of our subscribers for their loyalty, engagement, and great suggestions. We at GrantWatch, take great pride in the accomplishments of all of our users and their worthwhile programs. We were honored to receive testimonial videos from some of our subscribers and to have had the chance to meet with some via Zoom or in person. It has been wonderful to memorialize many organizations through videos on our On The Road page.

Grant Listings

We at GrantWatch, also appreciate when a foundation or government source shares its funding opportunities with us.  We want to thank you for saving us valuable research time. 

What’s Next?

This year, our number of currently available grants has been between 7,000-8,000 grants. In the new year, we are hoping to steadily raise the bar for ourselves and grow to 10,000 available grants for nonprofits, businesses, and individuals.

New Addition — 990 Reports

We have also been working hard to add 990 reports for each grant listed on our site. Our team is adding reports from multiple years, showing you who the foundations have funded in the past. We have already started charting and comparing the data for you. Every day, we add more data to the foundation grant listings.  When you see the button that says, ‘See Providers 990 Report,’ you know we have just what you need to discover if the funding source has funded similar agencies to yours and if the average grant is within the range you need. 

Government Initiatives

We will continue to bring all the new government grant offerings and initiatives of interest to our subscribers. There will be a lot of new government grants available in 2023. Some grants will be directly available from the federal government and others will be from state or city agencies. GrantWatch will be reviewing and presenting the grants in our own proprietary, easy-to-read format.

GrantNews

In the new year, we also hope to interview more nonprofits for our news blog. We want to write about their accomplishments in their communities. If you are a nonprofit agency with an article that has already been written about their program that could be replicable in other locations or want to nominate another agency, please send the information to editor@grantnews.com

Grant Management Calendar

We hope to present to you a new updated grants management calendar to align more closely with the needs expressed by development officers. Please continue to send us your ideas for what you want in a grants management calendar to support@grantwatch.com. The plans are in the works for more features and easy management for your own planning of self-imposed deadlines and grant deadlines.

Customer Support

We will also continue to answer our phone, email, and chats so that all of our subscribers get the assistance they need. We plan to continue and expand our wonderful engagement with subscribers.
