How it started
GrantZero was born from a simple observation: small nonprofits spend countless hours searching for grants, only to apply to opportunities that aren't a good fit. Our founders, having worked in the nonprofit sector for over a decade, saw how AI could transform this broken process. We built GrantZero to give every nonprofit the same advantage that large organizations with dedicated grant teams enjoy — intelligent discovery, data-driven evaluation, and AI-assisted writing.

What we believe
The principles that guide every decision we make.
Mission-First
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help nonprofits win more funding?
Radical Transparency
No black boxes. We show our scoring logic, explain our AI decisions, and publish honest pricing.
Speed to Impact
Nonprofits can't wait. We ship fast, iterate often, and measure success by time saved for our users.
Equity of Access
A two-person nonprofit deserves the same grant intelligence as a 200-person organization.
