Help shape GrantCorral: 10 founding-member spots for freelance grant writers
One deadline and report calendar for all your nonprofit clients. Get 60 days free on the Consultant plan, no card required, then 50% off the first year ($594 instead of $1,188) if you stay. Nothing is charged unless you add a card. Written feedback is optional — a short form or an email reply, if you'd like to help. We won't ask for calls or a meeting.
Apply for a founding spotWhat GrantCorral is
GrantCorral is a workspace for freelance grant writers and consultants who manage several nonprofit clients.
- One calendar for every client's deadlines and reports. Each client has a pipeline with application deadlines and, after an award, its report due dates. One dashboard panel, “Reports due, all clients”, shows what's overdue, due in the next 7 days and due in 8–30 days.
- See what's still missing before it's urgent. Drafts never fill gaps by guessing. Anything a client hasn't given you yet shows up as a highlighted
[add …]placeholder, so you know exactly what to ask for. - Post-award reporting. Award tracking, budget vs. actuals (import a CSV; lines that are off pace are flagged), and progress and final report drafts built from the award letter and the ledger.
- An assistant you control, with sources. It drafts LOIs, sections and reports from your client's own documents. Every fact links to the sentence or line it came from, and citations it can't verify are flagged. You edit and approve everything; nothing goes to a funder without you.
- Historical funder research, free. Private foundations that funded similar organizations nearby, from IRS Form 990-PF filings, with the grants behind each match and the “how to apply” text as filed. These are historical research leads from past IRS 990-PF filings, not a list of open grant calls, and not predictions. The data covers private foundations only. Coverage: tax years 2019–2025. Freshness: the IRS releases these returns 1.5–2+ years after the tax year ends, so 2025 is still partial and a funder's newest grants may not appear yet. Last updated: November 14, 2026. Currently open federal opportunities come from Grants.gov (posted or forecasted; fetched when you look them up and cached up to 24 hours).
The founding-member offer
Who it's for
Freelance grant writers and small consulting firms with at least 2 active nonprofit clients, ideally US-based clients (the funder data is US-only). You'll get the most out of it if you also handle post-award reports.
What “beta” means here
GrantCorral is new. Expect rough edges and changes. What it doesn't have yet:
- no two-step sign-in;
- no self-serve account deletion (email grantcorral.support@gmail.com and we'll do it; data export is self-serve, as CSV files per client or for the whole workspace);
- no external security review.
Please only upload client documents you're allowed to share with a software tool. See the Privacy Policy and Terms.
FAQ
Is it really free? Will I be charged automatically?
The first 60 days are free, and no card is required. Nothing is charged unless you add a payment method. If you add a card and stay, the first year is $594 (50% off $1,188). After that year, the standard Consultant yearly price applies. You'll see a reminder in the app, and Stripe emails you about 7 days before the trial ends. If you don't add a card, the trial just ends and you pay nothing.
What does the founding price cost after the discount?
$594 for your first year on the Consultant plan (50% off $1,188), billed only if you add a card and stay after the 60 free days. After that year, the standard price applies (currently $99/mo billed yearly). We'll give at least 30 days' notice of any price change, as the terms say.
What happens to my clients if I cancel or don't stay on Consultant?
If you cancel during the trial, or later let the plan end, your workspace moves to the Free plan, which has 1 active client. All your other clients become read-only: you can still view them and export their data, and we never delete them because the plan ended. Upgrade at any time and they're editable again. (You can still ask us to delete your data whenever you want.)
How do I cancel or leave?
Cancel from Plan & billing, or email grantcorral.support@gmail.com. If you leave during the 60 free days, or never add a card, you are not charged. You can export your data yourself at any time, and ask us to delete it.
Do I have to write a review?
No. Reviews are optional, never a condition of the offer, and your access doesn't depend on whether you write one or what it says.
Do I have to give feedback or join a call?
No. The only feedback we may ask for is optional and written: a short form by email, or a reply to an email, if you'd like to help. There are no feedback calls and we won't ask for a personal meeting. Your access and pricing don't depend on whether you send any feedback or what you say.
What happens to my clients' data?
It stays yours. It's stored to run GrantCorral for you. When you generate an AI draft, the client's profile, grant history, funder facts and the documents included in that draft are sent to Google's paid Gemini API. Google says it doesn't use that content to improve its products and processes it under its data-processing terms; it still logs it for a limited period to check for misuse. Leave confidential details out of documents and profiles you draft from unless they're needed. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Where does the funder data come from?
Two different sources. Historical funder research: IRS Form 990-PF filings from US private foundations, showing who funded what in past years. This is not a list of currently open grant calls, and we do not track open RFPs from private foundations. Coverage: tax years 2019–2025. Freshness: the IRS releases these returns 1.5–2+ years after the tax year ends, so 2025 is still partial and a funder's newest grants may not appear yet. Last updated: November 14, 2026. Currently open federal opportunities: posted or forecasted listings from Grants.gov. We fetch them from the public Grants.gov API when you look them up, and keep a copy for up to 24 hours. This is not a live feed, and it does not include open calls from private foundations. Always check a funder's current guidelines.
Is this a list of open grants?
No. Foundation research is historical: it shows which US private foundations funded similar organizations in past tax years, from IRS 990-PF filings that lag 1.5–2+ years. We do not track open RFPs from private foundations. For currently open opportunities, the app shows federal listings from Grants.gov (posted or forecasted), fetched from the public API when you look them up and cached for up to 24 hours. Always confirm the deadline and eligibility on the official notice.
What if more than 10 people apply?
Spots go first come, first served: if a spot is open when you apply, it's yours right away. Once all 10 are taken the form closes, and you can join the beta list for any later round. We won't invent a waitlist number.

Founding-member terms
- Offer. GrantCorral offers up to 10 accepted applicants (“Founding Members”) 60 days free on the Consultant plan (up to 10 clients, 1 seat), with no card required, then 50% off the first year (US$594 instead of US$1,188) if they stay, starting when they complete checkout from Plan & billing (the “Trial Period”).
- Feedback. Written feedback is optional. During the Trial Period, GrantCorral may email a short feedback form, and a Founding Member may reply by email if they wish. Founding Members are not asked to join calls or personal meetings. Access, pricing and treatment do not depend on whether a Founding Member sends feedback or on its content. The Trial Period is not revoked for declining or not sending feedback.
- No payment method required; billing only if they stay. No payment method is collected to start the Trial Period, and nothing is charged during it. If a Founding Member adds a payment method and stays, Stripe bills US$594 for the first year (50% off US$1,188) when the trial ends. If they do not add a payment method, the trial ends, nothing is charged, and the workspace moves to the Free plan. GrantCorral will show an in-app notice during the last 30 days of the Trial Period, and Stripe will send a reminder email about 7 days before it ends.
- Founding price and later renewals. The 50% discount applies to the first annual invoice only. Later renewals are at the then-current Consultant yearly price, with at least 30 days' notice of changes as provided in the Terms of Service. Taxes may apply.
- If the Founding Member does not stay. If a Founding Member cancels during the Trial Period, or does not add a payment method, they are not charged, and their workspace moves to the Free plan (1 active client). All other clients become read-only: they remain viewable and exportable and will not be deleted because of the plan change. They become editable again if the Founding Member upgrades. This doesn't limit the Founding Member's right to request deletion under the Privacy Policy.
- Leaving. A Founding Member may stop at any time by emailing grantcorral.support@gmail.com, and may export their content themselves or request export or deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.
- Reviews and endorsements. Writing a review, testimonial or endorsement is not required and isn't a condition of this offer. Access, pricing and treatment don't depend on whether a Founding Member writes a review or on its content or sentiment. If a Founding Member chooses to review or endorse GrantCorral publicly, they're asked to disclose that they received free access as a Founding Member. GrantCorral will use a Founding Member's name or words publicly only with their written permission.
- Beta service. The service is in beta and provided under the Terms of Service, including their disclaimers and limitations of liability.
- Eligibility. 18+. One founding spot per person or firm. GrantCorral's owners, staff, contractors and their families aren't eligible.
- Changes. GrantCorral won't reduce the Trial Period or the founding price for accepted Founding Members.
