Grant Beagle

Grant Beagle finds the grants you can get and helps you write the application.

Grant Beagle is built for small nonprofits from public records, and a person checks every page. You decide, and you submit.

The home page: decisions waiting on the left, the Chicago Yacht Club Foundation grant open on the right with why it fits, a Draft application button, and a link to the funder's listing.

Grant Beagle reads the whole public record, every morning.

Every dollar paid to you, every open notice, every foundation's filings, every funder's own rules. Every fact on your page links back to where it came from.

Records about you
  • City contracts and paymentsEvery dollar the city has paid you, with the contract number.
  • State grant listsWhat the state has awarded and what it has open, agency by agency.
  • Federal awardsThe federal spending records in your name.
Where the money is
  • Open grant noticesHundreds post every week. Each one is checked against your record.
  • Foundation tax returnsTheir filings show who funds groups like yours.
  • Funders' own pagesThe rules, dates, and amounts come straight from the source.
How it works

From your own public record, to the grants that match, to a draft you only have to download and submit.

Step 1

We build your record before you ever sign in.

From the six sources above: who you are, your revenue, every public dollar paid to you, the foundations that have given, and your programs. Each fact names where it came from.

  • What the records cannot say shows up as a question. Type the answer, or upload the file.
  • Nothing is hidden. If it knows it, it is on this page with its source.
The record page: facts on file with their sources, and the questions still open.
Step 2

New notices are checked against that record. Only the fits reach you.

Hundreds of listings a week go by. The few worth your time land on your home page, each with the amount and timing from the notice itself.

  • Why it fits you, written the way a colleague would brief you.
  • What still needs checking before you commit.
  • The research trail: the records it read, so you can check the work.

Step 3

Click Draft application. Grant Beagle writes the first draft from your record.

In the funder's own sections, in the funder's order. Then it walks you through, one section at a time, the way signing a document works.

  • Where your record has the answer, it is filled in. Where only you know, there is a box.
  • An estimate is marked as one, with the math beside it. Keep it or change it.
  • When nothing is left, Build turns the answers into one document and lists the forms the funder also wants.

Step 4

Download it, submit it yourself, and watch the calendar.

Nothing is ever sent for you. Every opening, deadline, and renewal sits on the next twelve months, each date from the funder's own page or its last cycle.

  • Click a month and its list opens beside it.
  • The bell holds anything that changed, and any question the worker still has for you.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Does Grant Beagle submit anything for me?

No. You read every draft and you submit it yourself, on the funder's own form. Nothing is ever sent for you.

Does it contact funders?

No. No letters, forms, or emails go out from here. The funder hears from you, not from us.

Does it ever make up a number?

No. Blanks stay blank until you fill them. When it offers a starting figure, it is marked as an estimate with the math beside it, and you keep it or change it.

How do you charge?

Right now Grant Beagle is free for the first Chicago nonprofits we work with. Later there will be one flat monthly fee that you can cancel any time. We will never take a percentage of an award or a cut of anything you win. If you join while Grant Beagle is free, we will tell you well before anything changes.

How do you use AI?

To read public records at a scale no person can, match them to your organization, and draft in each funder's own sections from what the record already says. A person checks what reaches you.

Where do the numbers come from?

Each one names its source on the page: the contract number, the tax return, the funder's own page. Point at a fact and the record is one click away.
