About GrantForward+

GrantForward is a searchable database of grants and funding opportunities from government, foundation and corporate funders, with project matching, deadline tracking and team tools. It is aimed mainly at universities and research institutions, and pricing is set by institution size rather than listed publicly. Most small charities will find better value in tools built for nonprofits.

Pricing: Quote only. GrantForward says price depends on institution size (total population and annual research spending) and does not publish tiers. A 30-day free trial is offered to the whole institution. Old third-party estimates of US$1,100 to US$4,400 a year were not confirmed.
