A real (non-trial) plan: 5 AI chat messages/day, 1× baseline AI capacity, file imports up to 10MB, 1 user/team seat. Includes basic funder search and document creation. No credit card required.
AI grant writing and funder-discovery platform, recently repositioned as a full 'AI grants department' with a proprietary funder database (GrantGraph, 190,000+ funders). Pricing was overhauled in 2026: Free, Starter ($50/mo), Pro ($150/mo), and a new Pro+ tier, with no per-seat fees. A new formal nonprofit discount (50% off Starter/Pro for a year, for 501(c)(3)s under $500K budget) is now available. Data is not used for AI training. States SOC 2 Type II certified, but its compliance-attestation vendor (Delve) was implicated in a 2026 report-fabrication scandal, so independent verification is advisable.
How safe is this tool for your specific work? (Showing Free tier)
Rate-limited AI (5 messages/day). States SOC 2 Type II certified, though independent verification is advisable given the 2026 Delve compliance-vendor scandal.
Basic AI model tier only. 10MB file import limit. Good for drafts.
Purpose-built for grants with free basic funder search, but rate-limited AI (5 msgs/day). Good for testing before upgrading.
Data never used for AI training. Limited daily capacity on Free tier.
No HIPAA support at any tier. Not designed for case notes.
Free tier includes basic funder search across 190,000+ funders, but deep GrantGraph intelligence requires Pro.
No content training
Grantable states: 'Your content is never used to train AI models — ours or anyone else's.' AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) are contractually prohibited from training on customer data. Only minimum necessary context is sent to AI providers per request; the full database/content library is never transmitted wholesale.
Not needed
No data training occurs to opt out of. Users can manage account/data settings directly; usage/log data may be retained in aggregated, anonymized form for analytics after account closure.
Never
Grantable states it cannot access user content without express permission. No explicit human review policy is stated beyond this in the current privacy policy.
User
No AI training occurs. User controls which source materials are used for each AI request. Users can access, export, or delete their data at any time per the Trust & Security page.
Not available
No HIPAA BAA mentioned or available. Grant writing tool not designed for PHI. Not applicable for typical grant writing workflows.
1 year post-closure (User Content); life of account (account data)
Per privacy policy (last updated May 16, 2025): account data retained for the life of the account and deleted upon closure (subject to legal requirements); User Content typically retained for one year AFTER account closure unless earlier deletion is requested; usage/log data may persist in aggregated, anonymized form; payment records retained per tax/accounting law. Users can request deletion anytime via [email protected].
SOC 2 Type II claimed (verify independently)
Grantable's Trust & Security page states 'SOC 2 Type II certified, with continuous third-party auditing.' Data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. CAUTION: Grantable's trust portal is hosted on Delve (trust.delve.co/grantable); in March 2026 a whistleblower publicly documented that Delve fabricated hundreds of client SOC 2/HIPAA/ISO reports. Grantable is not specifically named among confirmed affected companies in available public reporting, but independent verification of this certification is advisable.
50% off Starter and Pro plans for one year ($25/mo instead of $50/mo for Starter; $75/mo instead of $150/mo for Pro)
501(c)(3) organizations with annual operating budgets under approximately $500,000. During signup, search for your organization or upload your IRS Form 990; Grantable verifies eligibility and applies the discount automatically. Existing customers can upload a 990 in-app or email [email protected] to request the discount. Discount runs for 12 months and is renewable by submitting a current 990.
Free: Basic funder search and light AI drafting for testing. Starter: Small teams (up to ~3) with meaningful AI budget and unlimited file imports. Pro: Full GrantGraph funder intelligence (190,000+ funders), Pro-tier AI models, teams up to ~5. Pro+/Agency Hub: Larger teams and agencies managing multiple clients, with an add-on for consolidated multi-client billing and reporting.
Start with Free to test funder discovery and basic drafting; upgrade to Starter or Pro based on AI usage needs. Nonprofits under $500K budget should apply for the 50% discount by uploading a 990 at signup.
Explicit commitment: content is never used for AI training, by Grantable or its AI providers. API agreements with OpenAI/Anthropic contractually prohibit training. Only minimum necessary context is sent per AI request; full content libraries are never transmitted wholesale.
Grantable's Trust & Security page states it is SOC 2 Type II certified (originally announced January 2025), with a trust portal at trust.delve.co/grantable. However, in March 2026 a whistleblower publicly documented that Delve — the compliance vendor behind this trust portal — fabricated hundreds of client SOC 2 reports industry-wide. Grantable is not specifically named among confirmed affected companies in available public reporting, but nonprofits handling sensitive data should request independent verification before relying on this certification.
Grantable moved from a per-seat pricing model (Starter/Pro plus paid collaborator seats) to a capacity-based model: Free, Starter ($50/mo), Pro ($150/mo), and Pro+ for larger teams, with unlimited team members included and AI usage capacity as the main differentiator between tiers.
As of 2026, qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations with annual operating budgets under $500K get 50% off Starter ($25/mo) and Pro ($75/mo) for one year, verified via IRS Form 990. This reverses the prior finding that Grantable had no dedicated nonprofit pricing program.
Grantable's August 2025 'Discovery' platform has evolved into GrantGraph, a database of 190,000+ US foundations and funders built from IRS Form 990-PF filings, public records, and continuous web research, with AI-driven fit scoring, opportunity briefs, and scheduled prospecting. Basic funder search is free; deep intelligence features require Pro.
Grantable has repositioned from a pure AI writing assistant into an end-to-end 'AI grants department' spanning funder discovery, writing with organizational memory/voice preservation, deadline tracking, and (via Agency Hub) multi-client pipeline management.
Privacy policy (last updated May 16, 2025) specifies User Content is typically retained for one year after account closure (not from creation) unless earlier deletion is requested; account data persists for the life of the account. Users can delete data anytime via account settings or by contacting [email protected].
2026-04
Grantable overhauled its pricing and tier structure. New tiers: Free ($0), Starter ($50/mo), Pro ($150/mo), and Pro+ (larger teams up to ~10 seats). No per-seat fees on any tier (a change from the prior per-seat collaborator pricing model). An 'Agency Hub' add-on ($300/mo) for multi-client management now works with any paid plan, replacing the old Agency 'Contact Sales' tier.
2026-04
Launched a formal nonprofit discount program: 50% off Starter ($25/mo) and Pro ($75/mo) for one year, for 501(c)(3) organizations with annual operating budgets under $500K. Verified via IRS Form 990 upload or organization search at signup; renewable annually. This is a reversal from the prior 'no formal nonprofit program' finding.
2026-05
Expanded funder discovery into 'GrantGraph' — a proprietary database of 190,000+ US foundations and funders built from IRS Form 990-PF filings, public records, and continuous web research, with AI fit-scoring, opportunity briefs, and scheduled prospecting. Deep GrantGraph features are gated to Pro/Pro+; basic funder search remains free.
2026-03-24
Terms of Service updated (dated March 24, 2026). Core data ownership, license, and renewal/cancellation terms are substantively consistent with the prior version reviewed in March 2026.
2026-03
Industry-wide caveat: A whistleblower ('DeepDelver') publicly disclosed that Delve, the compliance automation vendor hosting Grantable's trust portal (trust.delve.co/grantable), fabricated hundreds of SOC 2/HIPAA/ISO 27001/GDPR reports for clients. Grantable is not specifically named among confirmed affected companies in available public reporting, and Grantable's site still states it is 'SOC 2 Type II certified,' but independent verification of this claim is now advisable given the scandal involving its compliance-attestation vendor.
For organizations with 5+ staff
Pro at $150/mo (or $75/mo if a qualifying nonprofit) is a strong fit for grant-focused teams that want funder intelligence (GrantGraph's 190,000+ funder database) bundled with AI drafting. For larger or multi-client operations, Pro+ or the Agency Hub add-on ($300/mo) support bigger teams and consolidated multi-client management.
For organizations with fewer than 5 staff
Starter ($50/mo, or $25/mo for qualifying nonprofits under $500K budget) is solid for small teams needing unlimited file imports and a meaningful AI budget without per-seat fees. The Free tier is useful for testing funder discovery and light drafting before committing.
For health data or vulnerable populations
Grantable states it is SOC 2 Type II certified, but its trust-portal vendor (Delve) was implicated in a March 2026 report-fabrication scandal — organizations with strict compliance requirements should request independent verification rather than relying solely on the trust portal. Separately, no HIPAA BAA is available at any tier, and grant writing rarely involves PHI, but Grantable is not designed for client case notes or sensitive health data and should not be used for that purpose.
