Built for nonprofits, businesses,
and everyone in between.

Smart grant matching

Your profile matched against federal, foundation, corporate, and community grants — ranked by win rate, average award, and urgency.

Free forever

AI proposal writer

Eight section types — LOI, problem statement, narrative, budget, evaluation plan, and more — each tuned to that funder's win patterns.

AI-powered

Funder intelligence

Win rate, average award, deadline, and the exact language that moves reviewers for each grant type. Federal, foundation, and corporate each require a different voice.

Real data

Approval playbook

What wins, what loses, and the precise phrases that shift a reviewer from "maybe" to "yes" — built from thousands of funded proposals.

Insider knowledge

One-click export

Copy your finished proposal instantly or send it to AI chat for refinement. Formatted and ready to paste into any grant portal.

Pro feature

Unlimited applications

Funded organizations apply to 8–12 grants per cycle. LeadGrant lets you write a proposal for every one — in the time it used to take to write one.

Find your grants

Add your API key to activate AI-powered grant matching

Free to use. No account needed. Results in under 60 seconds.

Select a grant from the finder, choose your section, add your program data, and get a proposal tuned to that funder's approval patterns.

What wins — approval patterns

Proposals with specific outcome data win at 3× the rate of narrative-only applications
87% of funded proposals include a named evaluation methodology with pre/post measurement
Letters of support from community partners double approval odds
Applications with a sustainability plan beyond the grant period rank significantly higher
Sending a voluntary LOI increases your funding rate by up to 40%

Language by funder type

GovUse "evidence-based," "GPRA metrics," "cost per participant," "underserved census tract"
Show ROI, brand alignment, and employee volunteer angles. Use efficiency and community ROI framing
Lead with story, back with data. Use "root cause," "equity," "theory of change"
Name neighborhoods, zip codes, and local partners. Emphasize local roots and community trust

Why proposals get rejected

Vague outcomes — "help youth" instead of "80% improve scores by 25%"
No sustainability plan — what happens after their grant ends?
No community voice — applications without co-design are flagged
Missing org capacity — no staff bios, no track record, no financials
Duplicating services without showing clear differentiation
