Federal grant finder · AI grant matching
A grant finder that gives you an answer, not a longer list.
Most grant finders are just bigger search boxes — they hand everyone the same list and leave the judgment to you. Strategic Pursuit starts with one organization, checks 205 federal programs against the real eligibility rules, folds in your own federal data, and hands you the handful you can actually win — each one showing the rule, the official source, and the date it was last checked. In about 8 minutes.
205 programs · more than two dozen federal agencies · checked against the real eligibility rules · numbers from official sources
What is a federal grant finder, and how do you know you can trust it?
A federal grant finder helps an organization find funding it qualifies for. The difference between a useful finder and a noisy one is judgment: a plain list ranks nothing, while a good finder checks each program against the real eligibility rules and tells you where you can win. With Strategic Pursuit, the AI does the research and the rules decide who qualifies — and every match shows the rule, the official source, and the date it was last checked.
How it works
An AI grant finder you can actually trust.
Find your organization
The AI looks up your organization in the official records — a city by its Census ID, a university by its federal IPEDS ID — so every fact that follows is attached to the right place.Check the rules
Each program's real eligibility rules decide who qualifies. A program that fails a hard rule is ruled out, period. The AI only suggests; it can never override a rule.Pull the numbers
Once the AI is done, the numbers come straight from official government sources, not the AI's memory — so every figure traces back to where it came from.Flag what's stale
Anything that hasn't been checked in 180 days gets a verify-with-the-agency note, anything older than a year can't be called a top match, and programs that no longer exist never show up.
A report your team can check line by line.
Two audiences, one standard
Two audiences. One standard of proof.
Matched grant and formula-funding programs ranked on eligibility, fit, and how competitive you are — plus the congressional earmarks most tools miss.
Eligibility based on your designations and the rule behind each one, how your research stacks up against similar schools, and the open ground in programs like EPSCoR and Title III — a clearer picture, not a bigger search box.
List vs answer
The difference between a list and an answer.
A search box
- Gives everyone the same list
- Ranks nothing
- Leaves the checking to you
- Never tells you to skip one
Strategic Pursuit
- Checks the real eligibility rules
- Ranks on three things — eligibility, fit, and how competitive you are
- Pulls the numbers from official sources
- Tells you plainly when a program isn't worth your time
