About Grantsfire

Grantsfire is a searchable database of grants that is compiled in real-time from information published by grantmakers. Our database is up-to-date and easy to use. Grantmakers can add their information by publishing their grants information in a simple, HTML-based format called hGrant.

In the future, you will be able to collect, organize, categorize, and share grants that interest you. You will also be able to mashup this data with other useful services, such as maps. Please keep in touch!

About The Project

Grantsfire is a project of Solpath. It was initiated by a group of people who understood the importance of this information to the philanthropic sector as a whole. The group included representatives from Blue Oxen Associates, the Community Technology Foundation of California, the Gilbert Center, the Mott Foundation, and Solpath.

This first version of the tool was made possible by a grant from Community Technology Foundation of California, with additional support from the Mott Foundation and the Hewlett Foundation. We welcome additional support!
