As of October 2026, an Alabama nonprofit can be matched against 5 Alabama programs your nonprofit can apply for (5 of them set aside for nonprofits only), plus national and federal grants open to nonprofits, scored in your report.

Most of these grants never run an ad. The hard part was never qualifying. It was finding out the grant existed before the window closed. That is the part we fixed.

Straight answers

Do I pay these back? How current is this list?

No. Grants are not loans. Each row shows the date we last checked it against the funder's own page. How we verify.

Are these grants only for Alabama nonprofits?

The programs above are available to nonprofits in Alabama. The “Built for” column on each row tells you which is which, so you are never applying for something you are not eligible for.

Somewhere in Alabama, a nonprofit qualifies for one of these right now and doesn't know it.

This page can't read your organization. The 3-minute quiz can. It matches your mission, state, and structure against every grant your nonprofit can apply for and shows you where you stand.
