Grant search engine/application

Our nonprofit's institutional relations department is looking for a tool to assist with Grant/Foundation/Corporation research. After asking our account executive to review YourCause tools, she mentioned Instrumentl. Has anyone had experience working with Instrumentl or another grant researching tool?

    Our grant folks use Instrumentl and really like it. I have access to it as the database person and it integrates with RE, but that's about all I know. Definitely take a look at it because our team is a fan.

    Haven't worked with Instrumentl, but I really recommend Foundation Search. Very easy to use, good amount of info available and our team enjoys working with it.

  • Thank you. I'll check both engines and send to the institution team.
