What GrantCopilot is
GrantCopilot is a web platform for researchers, nonprofits, and organizations that need to find federal funding and prepare grant proposals. Its opportunity database connects with federal sources such as Grants.gov and supports deadline tracking. Compass AI can draft proposal sections or add material to existing sections without replacing what is already written. Templates cover NIH, NSF, nonprofit, foundation, government, and corporate grants. Compass also supplies research findings, citations, and funder priorities. Proposal analysis checks sections for clarity, compliance, and impact, then suggests improvements. Completed proposals can be exported as PDF or Word documents. The service is paid, with an annual option listed at $18 a year, billed as $18/month plus tax and $216/year annually, and a monthly plan at $24 a month plus tax. Both plans include a 7-day trial, require a card, and allow cancellation anytime. AI output requires human review and verification.
