01 / THE QUICK RUNDOWN

What this Play looks like in real life

Research current grants for one type of nonprofit or community group, check basic eligibility, and sell a short list of the strongest matches.

WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY STARTS

Foundations, government portals, and official funder notices

WHO YOU SERVE OR SELL TO

Small nonprofits and community programs

THE INSIDE SCOOP

A nonprofit does not need another hundred-link spreadsheet. It needs five live opportunities that fit its work, geography, budget, and legal status, with enough time left to make a responsible decision.

THE MONEY-MAKING GAP

Why somebody pays you

Grant listings are spread across many sites and take time to check. Small nonprofits pay for a short list of grants they may actually qualify for.
