Find open U.S. federal grant opportunities an organization is ACTUALLY eligible to apply for. Filters by the machine-readable applicant-type code Grants.gov publishes on every opportunity, so ineligible opportunities are excluded rather than ranked low. Returns deadlines, award ceilings, cost-sharing requirements, and what prior winners of the same program actually received. Free, no key, live federal data.
