A sample for an example settlement nonprofit — Lakeshore Newcomer Network, serving newcomers in Ontario. Your real scan runs on your own mandate. The third card is the part most tools skip: the eligibility gate catching a grant you can't win.
Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada · Federal
Serves newcomers in Ontario; org type and populations served match the program's mandate. Intake appears open — confirm the current window at source.
→ Verify on the official IRCC program page
Ontario Trillium Foundation · Provincial
Theme aligns, but the current intake window and priority areas need confirming before your team invests drafting hours.
→ Verify on the official OTF program page
Youth-serving funder · Provincial
Held back before scoring. Strong on theme — but the funder requires a youth-led organisation. This is the structural rule that quietly wastes weeks of drafting when a tool ranks it as a "match."
This is the eligibility gate doing its job.
Illustrative sample for a fictional organisation. Your scan uses your real profile; official funder pages remain the source of truth before applying.
The problem
Federal, provincial, municipal, foundation — funding lives across dozens of portals with different rules and rhythms. Nobody has time to watch them all.
The right grant opened — and closed — while your team was heads-down on delivery. Missed windows are missed revenue you only notice in hindsight.
Weeks drafting a proposal for a fund that quietly required you to be youth-led, Indigenous-led, or something you're not. Strong fit on paper, structurally ineligible in practice.
What it does
Grantwell reviews curated Canadian funder coverage and scores listed programs against your organisation's profile — geography, sector, org type, populations served. Each match is explained, line by line, with a link straight to the official program page.
Every grant you're pursuing, in one board — from prospect to drafting to submitted. See what's due, what's stalled, and what each application is worth, with less need to chase status updates across email threads and spreadsheets.
Why it's different
Theme fit isn't eligibility. Many funders require the applicant to be led or controlled by a specific community — youth-led, Indigenous-led, parent-led. Grantwell screens that before scoring, so a grant with an unresolved or failed applicant requirement is not presented as a clean "strong match." When a source suggests you may be better suited to a partner or mentor role, the system shows that caveat instead.
✓ Every recommendation stays tied to the official funder source.
No black-box score. Every match percentage traces back to stated reasons — geography, sector, org type, populations served — and links to the official source so you can verify before you invest a single hour.
Designed around the real weekly workflow: scanning funders, checking applicant rules, deciding what to pursue, and keeping deadlines visible.
Privacy
Each client runs in its own private workspace — not a shared, multi-tenant database. Your mandate, leadership details and applicant profile are never sold or shared, and are not used to train AI models; sensitive drafting can run on a local model on your own infrastructure. And because every recommendation is explainable and linked to the official funder source, there is no black box to take on faith.
The difference is not a longer list of funders. It is knowing which grants are worth a closer look before your team spends days drafting.

We'll review your mandate and send your funder-fit shortlist to your inbox within two business days.
Questions
The gate reads each funder's stated applicant requirements — who must lead, own or control the applying organisation — and compares them to your attested profile. When a funder requires a leadership identity you haven't confirmed, Grantwell holds the grant back rather than guessing. It's built to be conservative on purpose: we'd rather flag "confirm this" than send you drafting for a grant with unresolved applicant-fit risk. Every match also links to the official source so you can verify before you commit.
Your organisation name, email and mandate are stored so we can prepare and send your funder-fit scan. We don't sell or share your information. Grantwell keeps working notes for the scan, but official funder pages remain the source of truth before any application is submitted.
Light. Onboarding is a working session where we build your organisation's profile and leadership attestation with you — the inputs the eligibility gate runs on. Most teams are seeing screened matches the same week. You're not handed a blank dashboard and left to configure it.
Pilot pricing is handled after the funder-fit scan, once we understand your mandate, funder coverage and support needs. The scan is free and yours to keep whether or not we work together.
