We believe GrantStation is the essential resource for any serious grantseeker, but don't just take our word for it! See what Alliance Partners, Co-Brand Program members and other grantseeking professionals are saying about us.

Actually, because of GrantStation, I'm getting a lot less sleep these days. Through your website, I became aware of an AmeriCorps grant competition that seemed appropriate for us. We applied and recently received a $260,000 grant to provide employment and training services to veterans - one of just a couple of organizations in the U.S. to do so.

So . . . my membership yielded $260,000 return. Good investment? Yeah, I think so.

Thanks!

I have been a GrantStation subscriber for over five years. I find the grant resource information to be comprehensive and easy to use, and I have enjoyed the articles, useful tips and other helpful resources provided.  GrantStation is a must have tool for anyone doing grant and fund development.

Focus: Hope, received a $50,000 grant for their neighborhood school partner (Glazer Elementary) from Samsung via an online competition they learned about in the GrantStation Insider.

This great result wouldn't have been possible without the Knight Foundation's GrantStation Insider. This is one of the many opportunities that I have found through this excellent publication, which I have come to regard as one of the most useful and well put together publications regarding grant opportunities. The "seed" for this came from the GrantStation Insider, so I wanted to let you know and send along a word of thanks to those who create the Insider.

I am a retired airline captain and the founder and volunteer Executive Director of the North Metro Miracle League based in North Atlanta. A little more than a year ago Tech Soup put out the announcement about the GrantStation special offer. Using a grant search engine was something I had never considered.

I was sitting at my desk when the notification that our GrantStation service had been activated. I was curious about how the system worked so I immediately logged in and set up our guidelines.

At the speed of light I got a return that identified 15 Foundations that were potential grantors.

I looked at the first foundation on the list and one of the options was to call and see if your organization complied with their giving guidelines. I called and spoke to a staff person that Thursday afternoon for 5 minutes. I was asked to send in some information. I did so immediately after hanging up. Friday morning I got a call from the Executive Director of the Foundation asking if I could meet with them the following Monday at 1:00. On Monday I was cordially greeted by the Executive Director and two of the trustees of the Foundation. We spoke for 30 minutes.

Things seemed to be going well, but I didn't realize how well till the following Wednesday when I got a call committing $15,000 to the North Metro Miracle League.

GrantStation works and has worked more than once for our relatively small 501c3. The services provided are user friendly, and especially friendly to people like me, a non-professional volunteer organizer and fund raiser.

Let me also say that I am so pleased with the information you have. I almost always find exactly what I am looking for, and so easily! You are doing a wonderful job.

I am hopeful you get frequent kudos for all that you provide to ALDE members. Thank you for the GrantStation Insider material. I use it, have discovered many new foundation prospects, and have submitted several proposals. While we have not yet received funding, you have provided us with additional leads that have connected us to individuals whose hearts beat as ours here at World Relief. Thank you and may God continue to bless your work.

Just a note to say Thank You! I recently purchased a donated copy of GrantStation.com from Tech Soup. Because we are a very small non-profit we never would have been able to afford your wonderful services without your generous donation. I have been using GrantStation since last week and have already identified several funders of which I was not aware. Thanks again for providing this great opportunity.

GrantStation is a grantseeker's dream come true. The U.S. Charitable Giving Database is both deep and wide; it contains extensive information on a broad number of funders. And it is the most up-to-date source of funder information that I have come across. The educational modules are informative for beginners as well as pros; they are easy to read, yet comprehensive. I have referred a number of colleagues to GrantStation to find funding opportunities and learn how to write winning proposals.

I've been using GrantStation for two years. You could say I'm part of a "small development shop," but the truth is I'm a one-person development office. I do it all - and I couldn't do it without GrantStation. If I could have only one research tool to get the grants my organization needs . . . it would be GrantStation.

GrantStation is by far the best investment any grantseeking professional can make. It's got more information - and that information is more up-to-date and more useful - than directories that cost several times as much! Why buy a book or CD-ROM that's updated annually for a couple thousand dollars, when you can get GrantStation for a third of that . . . including free updates almost daily!?

You can pay a lot of money for directories that are unhelpful or even misleading about the geographic interest of funders. GrantStation tells you right up front whether you're wasting your time pursuing a funding source that doesn't include your little corner of the world in its universe.

GrantStation technical support is fabulous. Someone always responds quickly to my cries for help. And they're so friendly, too - they make me feel like I'm part of the team.

Using GrantStation is the fastest way to do grant research and get high quality results. Because it's online, it saves hours of time . . . so you can concentrate on writing the proposals instead of on finding where to send them.

I adore the GrantStation Insider. GrantStation does the reading for you and distills it all into a compact and timely publication. It never gets stuck on my "reading pile," where so many other documents are languishing in oblivion.

What I find especially useful about GrantStation is that the information is frequently updated and customized for my state.

While I use a variety of databases and Internet web directories for funding source research, I always start with GrantStation and generally find that it has the most useful, comprehensive, and current information.

It is important to have accurate data on foundation contacts and guidelines. I have been using GrantStation for four years. It is very dependable and extremely easy to use!

Chuck Barber, MPA, CFRE

GrantStation is an effective tool for grantseeking because it is so centrally located. There are so many foundations with money to give to nonprofit groups. Finding them is the hardest part. GrantStation makes the finding process much easier for me.

Jodie Stover

GrantStation allows me to access foundations and other sources of funding much quicker than the other program I use. It is exceedingly fast and I have found the information on the foundations excellent in description. The featured funders of the day have been on target for me twice. I especially find the GrantStation Insider relevant to my work - it is a feature I look forward to every Thursday.

GrantStation is an investment that has paid many dividends in its information. I recommend it as the best source of current, up-to-date funder information that is available.

I have found GrantStation to be well worth the cost in terms of assisting me in finding sources of money. Keep up the good work.

I'm just emailing to let you know that the Louden Tribal Council received $13,435.00 from the Charlotte Y. Martin Foundation to help with building a softball field for the community. The people of Galena are really active in softball – there are little league teams all the way up to 40 and over.

We found the information on the Charlotte Y. Martin Foundation on your database. We then contacted Ellen (with GrantStation preferred partner, the Funding Exchange) and got tips from her for our proposal. I just wanted to thank you for the information and the Funding Exchange for assistance with our proposal.
