Works with ChatGPT and Copilot

Ask questions about the grants in plain English

Put the file into ChatGPT or Copilot and ask it questions, like talking to a helper who has read every grant.

Also works in Claude and Gemini.

  1. 1. Download your file

    After you buy, open the email and save the Excel file to your computer.

  2. 2. Add it to ChatGPT

    Click the paperclip, pick the file, and wait for it to finish.

  3. 3. Ask a question

    Type your question the way you would say it out loud. Press Enter.

ChatGPT: the grants Excel file added, a question typed, and the answer listing matching grants
Shown in ChatGPT. Copilot works the same way.

Try asking

  • Which grants can a small nonprofit in Ohio apply for?
  • Show me grants with a deadline in the next 3 months.
  • Which programs give more than $100,000?
  • List grants for rural health clinics.
  • Which grants accept applications at any time of year?
  • Answers come from the grants in your file, so every program it names is one you can check.
  • Always check the deadline on the official program page before you apply.
  • Questions about money and deadlines need the Pro or Intelligence workbook. Basic has program names, funders, and what each grant funds.

Hours of research, replaced by one download

How it works

From thousands of websites to one clean Excel workbook.

Five steps between scattered program pages and the file you download.

  1. Collecting grant data from federal and state sources

    Collect

    We pull programs from SAM.gov Assistance Listings (the federal catalogue) and state grant portals, plus a small number of corporate programs — so you don’t have to chase down listings yourself.

  2. Cleaning and standardizing federal grant records

    Clean

    Programs are deduplicated, normalized, and parsed into up to 49 standardized columns ready for filtering and pivoting in Excel.

  3. Tagging programs with audience, theme, and CFDA category

    Tag

    Each program is tagged with audience (Nonprofits, Universities, Small Business, State / Local / Tribal), theme, and CFDA category — so a shortlist is one filter click away.

  4. Reviewing tagged grant data

    Fix

    Links and contact details come from the source listing as published. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we correct it in the next build.

  5. Final Excel workbook ready to download

    Ship

    You download a multi-tab .xlsx workbook covering every active program in the database. A snapshot that’s yours to keep.

One-time purchase vs expensive subscriptions

Subscription tools charge every month, whether you use them or not. Buy the file once and keep it.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Most records come from SAM.gov Assistance Listings, the federal government’s official program catalogue, plus state grant portals and a small number of corporate programs. We structure and clean them into a spreadsheet-ready format; nothing is invented.

You can find individual programs on Google, but you'll spend dozens of hours visiting hundreds of pages. Our database puts 2,900+ programs into a single, structured spreadsheet you can filter, sort, and analyze in seconds.

The file is a snapshot of the database as of its build date, shown in the README tab. We add and update programs from time to time, but there is no fixed refresh schedule. If you need a newer copy later, contact us.

You get a multi-tab .xlsx workbook. Basic ships 2 tabs (README + All Grants). Pro adds For Nonprofits, By Organization, By Theme, By Audience, and Deadlines. Intelligence adds a Contact Directory. Opens directly in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

Basic ($149) is 5 identity columns for quick lookups. Pro ($249) is 24 columns including funding ranges, deadlines, themes, audience tags (Nonprofits, Universities, etc.), eligibility, and contacts — built for grant consultants and proposal teams. Intelligence ($349) adds 25 more deep-extracted columns (49 total) covering application steps, required documents, NOFO URLs, eligible expenses, matching rules, and reporting requirements — for data teams and large grant operations.

Each purchase includes a single-user licence covering personal, internal, and client work. For team or enterprise access (5+ seats), please contact us at usgrantsdatabase.com/contact for volume pricing.

Not under the standard licence. Standard purchases cover personal and client work, such as grant scans and reports for your own clients. Redistributing the data, or building a product, database, or service that offers the data or a derivative of it to others, requires a separate commercial licence. Contact us at usgrantsdatabase.com/contact for pricing.

Yes. Every purchase automatically generates a detailed invoice sent to your email. You can use it for company expense reports, reimbursement claims, or tax records.

US Grants Database publishes 2,900+ federal assistance programs in a single multi-tab Excel workbook at usgrantsdatabase.com/dataset. SAM.gov and Grants.gov list programs individually, but neither offers a clean, filterable spreadsheet you can download — this dataset structures them into one file.

Yes. The US Grants Database is delivered as a multi-tab .xlsx workbook with curated tabs (For Nonprofits, By Organization, By Theme, By Audience, Deadlines, plus Contact Directory on Intelligence). Opens directly in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, Power BI, Tableau, and any spreadsheet or BI tool. It covers 2,900+ federal programs, with up to 49 columns per record on the Intelligence tier.

A free 10-row sample is available on usgrantsdatabase.com/dataset (no signup required). The full database is a one-time purchase starting at $149 — there is no subscription and no recurring charge.

US Grants Database (usgrantsdatabase.com/dataset) is the simplest source — one Excel workbook covering federal programs in 2,900+ rows. SAM.gov Assistance Listings and Grants.gov publish the underlying data, but each is in a different format and is difficult to filter or export.

Yes. US Grants Database is a one-time purchase starting at $149 with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no usage limits. You own your copy of the data and can use it indefinitely.

The federal government publishes SAM.gov Assistance Listings and Grants.gov, but these are search portals — not a downloadable, filterable spreadsheet — and they lack the enriched fields (themes, audience tags, deep program-page extraction) we add. US Grants Database compiles and structures these sources into one file at usgrantsdatabase.com/dataset.

For a one-off project, the US Grants Database workbook at $149 replaces 20+ hours of manual website-by-website research. Subscription tools and consulting platforms charge thousands per year — a single download is the lowest-cost option for consultants who only need the data once.

Yes. Open ChatGPT or Copilot, click the paperclip, add the Excel file, and ask questions in your own words. It also works in Claude and Gemini, and in Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, and Tableau.

Up to 49 fields per record depending on tier: program title, funding agency, URL, descriptions, funding amount minimum and maximum, application deadlines, eligibility criteria, applicant-type restrictions, contact information, application steps, required documents, NOFO URLs, eligible expenses, matching-fund rules, reporting obligations, AI-generated themes, and applicant summaries.

US Grants Database includes federal programs open to nonprofits and 501(c)(3) organizations as part of its 2,900+ entries — the eligibility and audience fields let you filter to programs accepting nonprofit applicants. Pro and Intelligence workbooks include a dedicated "For Nonprofits" tab.

Yes. The US Grants Database includes federal programs aimed at small businesses, with eligibility, funding amount, and applicant-type fields you can filter on. It covers programs from agencies across the federal government, including the USDA, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, and SBIR/STTR small-business innovation programs.
