Funder Profile Brief

A grant funder profile of one foundation, corporate giving program or government agency: giving history, award sizes, recent grantees, priorities, application process and how to tailor your pitch.

Built for grant writers and nonprofit leaders checking a grant funder profile before they apply.

01

Why this work is hard

The problem

Grant writers and nonprofit leaders vetting a funder before they apply spend hours on this by hand: finding the right sources, reading them, checking them against each other and writing up what matters. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and nobody can show where a claim came from.

The GREP AI agent

Funder Profile Brief does that work as a GREP AI agent. It runs when you ask, and you can put it on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Every run delivers a sourced report, with every claim linked to its source.

Can I change what Funder Profile Brief does?

Yes. Every GREP AI agent can be cloned into your workspace, where you can edit its instructions, add your own sources and files, and change its schedule.

Where does the grant funder profile come from?

The funder's own site first, then IRS Form 990-PF filings via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer or Candid, Grants.gov and USAspending for federal funders, 360Giving for UK funders, and grantee press releases.

Does it say whether the funder accepts applications?

Yes. It says whether the funder takes unsolicited proposals or is invitation-only, and never invents deadlines or contacts.

How is fit judged?

Against the funder's geographic limits, typical award size and the organization sizes and types it funds, using your organization, location and ask size if you give them. With those details the verdict is strong, possible or poor, with reasons. Without them, it describes the geography, size and type of organization the funder favors.
