Frequently Asked Questions
What you should know about how Funding Landscape works
How is this different from Grants.gov?
Grants.gov covers federal grants. We pull from 166 verified sources including SAM.gov for contracts, state portals, foundation databases, procurement platforms, and more. One search covers everything we've indexed.
Are all the opportunities actually open?
That's our goal. We check sources daily and remove opportunities when they close. You shouldn't see expired programs here. If you do find one that's closed, let us know. It helps us improve.
How current is the data?
We refresh most sources daily. New opportunities typically appear within 24 hours of being posted. Deadlines and status changes are updated on the same cycle.
What types of funding do you cover?
Grants, contracts, RFPs, RFQs, and foundation funding. Federal, state, local, and private. If it's public funding that organizations can apply for, we're working to include it.
Is this free?
Search is free. You can browse all opportunities without signing up. We offer additional features for users who create accounts, like saved searches and alerts.
Who is this for?
Anyone looking for funding: contractors and installers (especially in energy and infrastructure), nonprofits, small businesses, researchers, municipalities, and universities. If you apply for grants or bid on contracts, this is for you.
How do I apply for something I find?
We're a search tool, not an application portal. When you find an opportunity, click through to the original source (Grants.gov, a state portal, a foundation website, etc.) to apply there. We show you what's available and you apply directly with the funder.
Will I see everything that exists?
We're working toward comprehensive coverage, but we're not there yet. We add new sources regularly. If you know of a source we're missing, tell us. Our goal is that if there's funding you could apply for, you find it here.
Why might I see something that doesn't fit?
We cast a wide net to avoid missing opportunities. Occasionally that means you'll see something that's not quite right for you, like a program for a different state or an organization type that doesn't match. Filters help narrow things down. We're also constantly improving relevance.
How do alerts work?
Save a search and we'll email you when new opportunities match your criteria. You'll hear about new funding before deadlines sneak up on you. Alerts require a free account.
