"Enterprise Pricing"

All services use the same public IRS 990 data. Why pay for features locked behind a paywall?

Features They Don't Have

We didn't just build a cheaper alternative. We built a better one.

Full-Text Grant Search

Candid only lets you search pre-defined categories like "Environment" or "Education." We search the actual grant purposes from every 990-PF filing.

Example:

Search "oyster reef restoration" and find the 15 foundations that have actually funded reef-building—not 10,000+ generic "water conservation" results.

Openness Score

Every foundation gets a 0-100 score based on how likely they are to fund new applicants. Factors include giving trends, grant diversity, and responsiveness.

Why it matters:

Stop wasting time on foundations that only fund the same 3 orgs every year. Focus on foundations with high Openness Scores that actively seek new grantees.

1

It's the Same Data. Really.

There is no "secret database" of grants. Every foundation in America is legally required to file IRS Form 990. We just built a more efficient way to search it.

2

Your Choice: Monthly or Annual

Pay $49/month when you need it, or save with $299/year. Cancel anytime. We earn your business every single month.

3

Built for Speed

No complex dashboards or confusing training sessions. Just a search bar that works instantly so you can get back to writing grants.

Quarter the Price

Same IRS source data Candid charges nonprofits $1,199 for. We charge $299. Join the grant writers switching to GrantLedger.
