It indexes 225,000+ U.S. private foundations and 13 million+ grant records sourced from public IRS Form 990-PF filings, and uses AI to match nonprofits with funders aligned to their mission, geography, and budget — then drafts letters of inquiry and tracks every opportunity in one pipeline.
SIMPLE WORKFLOW.
Most nonprofits don't lose grants because their work is weak. They lose hours chasing funders who were never aligned, and managing follow-up in scattered spreadsheets. Bespoke Grants is four screens, mirrored across the product. Every one earns its place — no dashboards full of charts you'll never read.

WRITE IT ONCE.
Reshape it forever.
Funder A wants your mission at 50 words. Funder B wants 150. Funder C wants 500, "formal academic." The Boilerplate Library stores your mission, programs, outcomes, and bios once — versioned, in your voice — and AI reshapes any block to a funder's exact word count and tone. Checked blocks flow straight into your LOI drafts, so letters read like you wrote them. Because you did.

Frequently asked questions
How does Bespoke Grants compare with Candid and Instrumentl?
Bespoke Grants All access is $19/month, billed monthly, or $228 across 12 monthly payments. That is about 81% less than Candid Premium’s nonprofit annual starting price of $1,199 and about 94% less than Instrumentl Discover’s $3,588 annual price, checked October 14, 2026. Candid and Instrumentl also offer AI features. Bespoke Grants combines AI funder matching, funder intelligence, RFP workflows, LOI drafting, and a pipeline for U.S. nonprofits of every size. The platforms differ in features, data coverage, and user limits; Instrumentl’s proposal-drafting and post-award tools depend on its plan. Candid offers free and eligible discounted or sponsored access, and Instrumentl offers a trial, so compare those options before paying.
Where does the foundation data come from?
Every foundation profile is built from the IRS Form 990-PF and 990 Schedule I e-file XML corpus, which the IRS publishes publicly each calendar year. We regularly refresh the public filing data so new opportunities surface as soon as they're indexed. Federal RFPs come from Grants.gov, NEA, NEH, and Philanthropy News Digest. Foundation RFP pages come from our own crawler that visits each funder's website looking for active opportunities.
What can I try for free?
Yes. Create an account without a credit card for one successful personalized search with three readable funder matches and sourced fit information. You can revisit that preview; empty results or errors do not use it. Further searches and the full workflow require All access at $19/month, billed monthly: funder intelligence and grant history, contacts, Open RFPs, pipeline management, LOI drafting, boilerplate reshaping, calendar sync, digest, and integrations. Existing usage and abuse protections apply. There is a 30-day no-questions refund policy on your first paid charge.
Will my organization's data be used to train AI models?
No. Your organization's profile, pipeline data, and LOI drafts are not used to train any model. We use Anthropic's Claude API to score and surface funders on demand — drafts are generated fresh each request and never stored on the model provider. Funder data is sourced from public IRS filings only; we do not sell, share, or resell any organization's profile.
How does the AI matching work?
Our AI reads your nonprofit's profile (mission, focus areas, populations served, service geography, annual budget) and ranks foundation funders by alignment. Each match has a 0-100 alignment score with explained reasons: focus-area overlap with the foundation's recent grants, geographic match against your service area, grant-size compatibility with your typical ask, and funder activity level. The model is Anthropic's Claude — not a generic search engine.
Can I use this for federal grants like Grants.gov?
Yes. The Open RFPs section pulls live opportunities from Grants.gov, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and Philanthropy News Digest. Federal opportunities are scored against your profile the same way foundation grants are, so you see federal and private funders ranked side-by-side instead of having to maintain two workflows.
Who built Bespoke Grants?
Founded in 2026 by Nate Dorka, a nonprofit veteran with nearly two decades in the sector. Bespoke Grants exists because finding aligned funders is the most frustrating, time-consuming part of nonprofit work — and the existing tools cost too much, take too long, and don't actually understand your mission. The product is built and hosted in New Jersey.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancellation is one click from your billing settings via the Stripe Customer Portal. You keep paid access through the end of your current billing cycle. Afterward you can still sign in, revisit your saved preview, and access your existing work; new searches and workflow actions require a subscription. There's also a 30-day no-questions refund policy on your first paid month — email support@bespokegrants.ai if you're not happy.
