Where Instrumentl is ahead
- A large, curated database of US private foundations matched to your organisation — the thing Instrumentl is built around.
- One workspace across discovery, proposal drafting and post-award spend reporting.
- AI-assisted proposal drafting (Apply) and CRM integrations, built in from the Pre-Award tier up.
Where we are ahead
- Free to see what you are eligible for and how many programmes it comes from — no $299-a-month floor to see a number.
- Government and institutional programmes worldwide, household and company, not US private foundations specifically.
- An MCP server any AI assistant can query directly, at no seat price.
