Instrumentl
Intelligent grant management system for nonprofits and researchers.
Instrumentl is a grant management platform for nonprofits, consultants, universities, and other grant-seeking organizations. It brings funder discovery, proposal writing, award management, and team collaboration into one workspace, replacing the scattered spreadsheets, documents, and research tools often used across the grant lifecycle.
The platform includes AI-powered funder matching, a database of funder profiles and active RFPs, saved searches, pipeline tracking, in-app application forms, application snippets, an Apply advisor, an Award Assistant for extracting deadlines and requirements from award letters, and budget management with spenddown tracking and budget-versus-actuals reporting. Integrations cover CRM systems, accounting platforms, and Google or Outlook calendars. Security features include SSO, SOC 2 Type II certification, encryption, and API access on higher tiers.
Plans are packaged by stage: Discover for establishing a grants program, Pre-Award for growing grant revenue, Full Lifecycle for managing complex awards, and Enterprise for multi-site organizations, universities, municipalities, and health systems. Each paid plan includes a 14-day free trial, with user limits varying by tier and custom pricing available for Enterprise.
