Instrumentl
Instrumentl is a grant platform for finding funding, preparing applications, managing awards, and collaborating across grant work. Its prospecting tools combine AI-powered matching with a database of 450,000+ funder profiles and 37,000+ active RFPs. The company says its team maintains grant and funder information, while saved searches receive weekly updates. Apply tools use AI and prior proposal content to draft funder-specific applications and surface past answers.

CRM connections include Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT, and Virtuous, starting with Pre-Award. Spenddown supports one-way, read-only expense syncing with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, starting with Full Lifecycle. Google and Outlook calendar integration starts with Pre-Award. Instrumentl says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data at rest and in transit, and stores and processes customer data in the United States.
