Our mission

Nonprofits deserve grant money without the hassle of going to get it.

Nonprofits already do good work for the rest of us. They should not also have to hunt for grants and work through every application on their own. Grant Beagle finds the grants they qualify for and helps write the application.

What Grant Beagle believes

Two beliefs sit behind everything Grant Beagle does.

Three people in white shirts sweep a city sidewalk and curb with push brooms.

One

The work comes first.

A grant application can take a director away from the people they serve for days. Grant Beagle reads the public records, finds the grants, and writes a first draft, so those days go back to the work.

Two

A small nonprofit deserves the same shot as a big one.

A large organization can pay someone to search for grants all year. A group run by a handful of volunteers cannot. Grant Beagle does that search for every nonprofit, whatever its size.

Who Grant Beagle is for

Grant Beagle is for the people already doing the work.

Nonprofits are out doing good for the rest of us. Finding and applying for grants should not be one more job on top of that.

Why I built this

I'm Sheffield, and I built Grant Beagle.

I work as an AI and automation engineer, and I want to help nonprofits.

AI is inevitable for all of us. I've spent the last four years studying how to use it, and I believe its greatest potential is in what it can help people accomplish.

I originally started exploring how to get funding to teach AI to kids in underserved communities. Along the way, I realized how difficult it can be for organizations doing meaningful work to find and access the money available to them.

That realization became Grant Beagle.

I believe access to opportunity shouldn't depend on how much time, money, or technical knowledge an organization has. Small nonprofits deserve the same ability to find funding and pursue their missions as organizations with entire teams dedicated to it.

My goal is simple: use what I've learned about AI to give more people the resources to do good.

What I promise

Here is what you can count on.

Every number has a source.

Every number on your page names the source it came from. That source might be a contract number, a tax return, or the funder's own page.

Nothing is ever submitted for you.

You read every draft, and you submit it yourself on the funder's own form.

Grant Beagle never contacts funders.

Grant Beagle doesn't send letters, forms, or emails to funders. The funder hears from you, not from Grant Beagle.

Grant Beagle never takes a percentage of an award.

I will never take a percentage of an award or a cut of anything you win.

Every page is checked before it reaches you.

Grant Beagle uses AI to read public records. A second check compares every number with its source before the page goes to a nonprofit.

Tell me who you are.

The form asks for your name, your organization, your email, and your city. A person replies by email within two days.
