Instrumentl is a grant platform for finding opportunities, preparing applications, managing awards, and coordinating work across a team. Its prospecting tools use AI-powered matching and draw on a database of 450,000+ funder profiles and 37,000+ active RFPs. Instrumentl says its team maintains grant and funder information, while saved searches receive weekly updates. Apply tools use AI and earlier proposal content to draft funder-specific applications and surface past answers. Award tools extract deadlines and requirements from award letters, then help teams track tasks, spending, and budget versus actuals. CRM connections to Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT, and Virtuous start with Pre-Award. Spenddown offers one-way, read-only expense syncing with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT from Full Lifecycle. Google and Outlook calendar integration starts with Pre-Award. Plans start at $299/mo when paid annually, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
