See a sample report
This is what a grant fit report looks like. Every report opens with a one-page summary you can read in two minutes, followed by the evidence behind every recommendation.
The pages below come from a sample report for Riverside Community Pantry, a fictional food pantry in Georgia. The format is exactly what our clients receive. The organization, funders, grants, amounts and dates are made up, and set to be realistic: out of 32 possibilities we checked, two deserve attention now. That's a normal result, and the time saved on the other 30 is part of the value.
Sample only. Every name, funder, amount, date and link on these pages is fictional, shown as of September 16, 2026. Please don't try to apply to anything you see here.

Page one of a sample report for Riverside Community Pantry, a fictional food pantry. It says two local grants deserve attention now and one state grant is worth watching: of 32 possibilities checked, 2 are worth applying for, 1 is worth a closer look, 1 is expected to open soon, and 2 aren't worth the pantry's time. It explains how the research was checked and names the first action: request two refrigeration quotes this week.

A table of six sample opportunities. Two community and corporate foundation grants are marked Apply, with strong fits and low effort. A federal facilities program is a Maybe, a state operating grant is a Watch because its next round is expected in early 2027, and two others are Skip: a small health mini-grant that isn't worth the effort, and a national award the pantry isn't eligible for.

4 of 5 · A Skip
A well-reasoned no, and a funder worth getting to know
We tell you what isn't worth your time and why, and point out funders to build a relationship with before they have an opening for you.

A sample national award marked Skip because it only funds organizations with budgets of $5 million or more. Below it, a sample family foundation is listed as a strong prospect: it gives to regional hunger relief groups every year but only by invitation, so the next step is a relationship, not an application.

A dated 90-day plan for the sample pantry: request equipment quotes in late September, start a federal registration, submit a renewal on October 20, submit the community foundation application by October 30, apply to the grocers foundation in November, and a December check by Grant Hounds for a state program's next guidelines.

These are five pages of a longer report. The rest holds the detail behind each recommendation: the eligibility rules we checked, the funder's own words, and when we last confirmed each fact. Ask us and we'll walk you through the whole thing.
A Fit Score measures alignment, not the odds of being funded. It doesn't guarantee eligibility or an award, and funders can change deadlines and requirements, so always confirm details with the funder before applying.
