2 toolsfind_open_grantsFind open federal grant noticesRead-onlyInspect
Lists open federal grant notices that CedarGrant covers (posted on Grants.gov, open to organizations; not NIH, forecasted, invitation-only, scholarships or fellowships), refreshed daily, soonest deadline first. Filter by keyword (searched in title, agency and summary, for example 'museum', 'mentoring', 'wildfire'), funding category, the applicant types the notice lists, days until it closes, maximum award size and whether the notice says cost sharing is required. Returns each notice's number, agency, close date, award range as stated, and its official Simpler.Grants.gov page. Applicant types are as the notice lists them, not a judgement of eligibility.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| keyword | No | Word or phrase to match, for example 'museum' or 'youth mentoring'. | |
| category | No | Funding category as Grants.gov names it, for example 'Arts', 'Education', 'Environment', 'Health', 'Community Development'. | |
| max_award_usd | No | Only notices whose stated minimum award is at or below this amount, for example 50000 for smaller grants. | |
| no_cost_share | No | true: only notices that state cost sharing is not required. | |
| applicant_type | No | Only notices whose listed applicant types include this type, or that are listed as unrestricted or 'others' (those are flagged: the notice's eligibility text decides). | |
| closing_within_days | No | Only notices closing within this many days. |
get_drafting_kitGet the CedarGrant drafting kit for a federal grant noticeRead-onlyInspect
Use when the user wants help with a grant application: drafting one for a federal notice on Grants.gov or Simpler.Grants.gov, drafting one from an announcement they bring themselves (state, local, foundation or other funder), or reviewing their own draft against the announcement's requirements and review criteria before they submit (a Requirements Map, and a Reviewer Panel built from the announcement's own criteria; never a score). Returns CedarGrant's drafting kit (early access, free): step-by-step instructions to check that the notice is open and covered, read the official notice and its files yourself, ask the user a few questions and write a complete draft in the notice's required format. CedarGrant does not read the documents, see the user's answers or the draft, or store anything.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| opportunity_link | No | Optional. Link to the notice on Simpler.Grants.gov (for example https://simpler.grants.gov/opportunity/363714) or Grants.gov. | |
| opportunity_number | No | Optional, instead of a link. The notice's opportunity number, for example 'F26AS00107', or its Grants.gov id from find_open_grants. |
