Grant matching software for cities & local governments
Name your city. Get the council-ready funding answer in about 8 minutes.
Not a longer list — a ranked, sourced shortlist. Our AI checks every federal program against the real eligibility rules and scores fit and competitive position; your city's own hard numbers are folded in; current NOFO (funding announcement) windows are included; and you get a board- and council-ready PDF. The week of research, before the meeting instead of after.
205 federal programs · more than two dozen federal agencies · every match sourced, dated, and tied to the rule behind it.
3 dossiers, 1 seat, 30 days, no card.
In one sentence
Strategic Pursuit is grant matching software for cities that turns one city name into a ranked, sourced federal-funding shortlist in about 8 minutes. Our AI checks 205 federal programs against the real eligibility rules, folds in the city's own Census, USAspending, FEMA, Justice40, HUD, and SLFRF data, and delivers a council-ready PDF.
The deliverable, panel by panel
What's in a city dossier
Every capability here maps to a real panel in the dossier — built from official sources, not from the AI's memory.
Jurisdiction snapshot
Population, ARPA/SLFRF allocation, and FEMA disaster history on one band — pulled straight from official sources, not from the AI's memory.
Designations & Justice40
Your city's qualifying designations as statute-cited chips — Justice40/CEJST disadvantaged-community status, HUD QCT/DDA, CDBG entitlement. Each chip's tooltip cites the authority, so an eligibility claim is defensible the moment council asks.
Risk & evidence
Your city's own hard evidence, ready to anchor a NOFO narrative — poor-condition NBI bridges, EPA ECHO facility violations, and CDC PLACES county health burden. The numbers that turn a grant application from adjectives into argument.
ARPA / SLFRF project & expenditure
Your Treasury SLFRF allocation and Project & Expenditure context — so you can position remaining ARPA dollars as local match in the funding stack instead of leaving them stranded.
USAspending award history
Five years of federal award history, so competitive position is read against what your city has actually won — not a generic match score.
Matched opportunities & live NOFOs
Every matched grant and formula program scored on eligibility, fit, and competitive position, each with its statutory authority (the law behind it, e.g. IIJA §11302), Assistance Listing/CFDA number, current funding-announcement (NOFO) window, and a visible last-verified date. Open and upcoming opportunities are pulled from Grants.gov.
The deliverable
A board- and council-ready PDF. The screen is the deliverable — a finance director can carry it into the meeting and a third party can pick it up without rework.

The signature
Three checks. One clear answer. Including the honest no-go.
Every program is scored on eligibility, strategic fit, and competitive position. Hard rules from the law — rural thresholds, population caps, designation requirements — drop ineligible programs out of the ranking, so the answer is something a grants director can defend to a city manager.
- HIGH FIT
- MEDIUM
- LOW
- INELIGIBLE
A disciplined no-go is delivered with the same conviction as a go — because the longshot you decline early is the scarce match-dollar you didn't waste.
A trustworthy no-go is the rival's wasted week you didn't spend.
Why the numbers hold up
The AI does the research. The rules decide who qualifies.
City numbers — ACS demographics, USAspending history, FEMA history, CEJST/Justice40 and HUD designations, SLFRF allocation — come straight from official government sources, not the AI's memory. Eligibility is decided by the actual rules, not the AI's guess.
Sourced
Every claim traces back to a named federal source.
Dated
Every program carries a visible last-verified date.
Gated
180/365-day freshness check; anything older can't be a high-fit match.
Clean
Discontinued programs never show up.
