Let AI do your funder research while you sleep.
Grantable's prospecting skill runs deep, multi-step funder research — screening hundreds of candidates, deep-scoring the best fits, and writing a brief for each. Put it on a schedule and wake up to the shortlist.

The old way vs. the Grantable way.
You know the old workflow. Here's how it changes.
The manual prospecting marathon
- 1
Start with what you know
Your personal network and the funders who come up first on Google
- 2
Research one funder at a time
30-60 minutes per funder to assess fit, giving history, and requirements
- 3
Hit a wall
After 20-30 funders, you run out of leads and ideas
- 4
Miss the long tail
Hundreds of potential funders exist that you'll never discover manually
- 5
No time to go deeper
You found the funders, but haven't analyzed their giving patterns
- 6
Repeat every quarter
The funding landscape changes, but your prospect list stays stale
