"I found two grants I'd never come across before, including a California Wellness Foundation opportunity I would have completely missed. We're now applying. This pays for itself in the first week."

"We're a Bay Area housing nonprofit with one development staff person. I can't monitor every foundation on my own. GrantSignal does it for me. Focused, actionable, no fluff."

Built for lean teams doing meaningful work.

GrantSignal is designed for organizations that need better funding intelligence, without the budget for a $300/month enterprise platform.

California nonprofits (501c3)

Community organizations, human services, housing, youth, workforce development, arts, and food access programs across the state. If your development team is small and your deadline list is long, GrantSignal was built for you.

Chambers of commerce (501c6)

Regional and local chambers pursuing economic development, workforce, and small business funding. We track EDA, CDBG, SBA, and state programs that most grant services miss entirely for 501(c)6 organizations.

Economic development organizations

EDOs and CDFIs that need continuous awareness of state and federal economic development funding. We monitor the programs your team is too busy to track manually.

Six to ten grants every Monday. All of them worth opening.

GrantSignal does one thing exceptionally well: put the right funding opportunities in front of you every week. No databases to search, no sites to bookmark, no deadlines to stumble across too late.

  • Weekly curated grant alerts

    6 to 10 matched opportunities delivered every Monday. Never a raw dump, always curated, always relevant to your mission and region.

  • Mission and region matched

    Filtered by your cause areas, region, org type, and funding size. A Bay Area housing org gets Bay Area housing grants, not generic national listings.

  • AI-written grant summaries

    Each grant includes the deadline, award amount, eligibility requirements, and a plain-English summary. Know in ten seconds whether it's worth your time.

  • Foundations, corporate, and federal

    All three funding streams in one weekly email, including corporate grants from programs that most tools miss entirely.

  • 501(c)3 and 501(c)6 coverage

    The only affordable grant alert service that explicitly serves both nonprofit and chamber/EDO funding types.

What funding sources does GrantSignal monitor?

GrantSignal monitors major California foundation funders including the California Wellness Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, California Community Foundation, Blue Shield of California Foundation, and Weingart Foundation. We also track state government grant portals, corporate giving programs active in California including Kaiser Permanente and Umpqua Bank, federal sources via Grants.gov, and dozens of regional community foundations across Northern and Southern California.

How does GrantSignal match grants to my organization specifically?

When you sign up, you tell us your organization's mission focus, primary cause areas, region within California, organization type, and typical grant size range. Our system matches every new grant opportunity against your profile before sending your weekly alert. A youth-serving nonprofit in Sacramento receives different grants than a housing organization in Los Angeles.

Does GrantSignal work for 501(c)6 organizations like chambers of commerce?

Yes, and this is one of the things that sets GrantSignal apart. Most grant alert services are built exclusively for 501(c)3 nonprofits. GrantSignal explicitly tracks grants that accept 501(c)6 applicants, including EDA economic development funding, CDBG programs, SBA grants, state economic development programs, and corporate giving programs that include chamber and EDO eligibility.

Is the service really free for 30 days?

Yes, no credit card required to start. Your first 30 days are completely free and you will receive full weekly grant alerts matched to your organization's profile. After your trial you can choose a paid plan starting at $29 per month. If GrantSignal does not surface relevant opportunities during your trial, you simply do not continue.

How many grant opportunities will I receive each week?

Each weekly alert includes 6 to 10 curated grant opportunities matched to your profile. Every opportunity includes the grant name, funder, deadline, award amount, eligibility requirements, a plain-English summary, and a fit tag showing cause area and region match.

Your first 30 days are on us.

Takes under 3 minutes. Tell us about your organization and we will match your weekly grant alerts to your mission, cause area, and region.
