Your mission, who you serve, where, and your organization type. Plain words are fine.

06FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where does the data come from?

From public sources: Grants.gov federal opportunities, USAspending.gov for past awards, and selected state and foundation programs where available. Every pick links to the official listing — always confirm eligibility and details there before you apply.

How are picks chosen?

Each morning AI reads every new opportunity in full — description, eligibility, award size, cost share, priorities — and scores how well it fits your profile. Only the ones above the bar make the email. If nothing fits that day, we don’t pad it.

Can I change what you look for?

Yes. Reply to any email with what to add or drop — new keywords, another state, a new certification — and the next email reflects it.

How is this different from free alerts?

Free alerts match keywords, so you get everything that mentions a word. We check fit and eligibility first and explain why each pick is in your email.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract and no calls — cancel from any email and that’s it.

Is there a free option?

You can get a free sample grants brief by email to see the format. Plans are paid, weekly or daily. During early access we’ll confirm everything by email before any billing starts.

Do you help write the application?

Not today. GovPicks finds and explains the right opportunities; the application is yours. Many customers forward picks straight to their grant writer.

Your next grant is already open.

Let us find it while there’s still time to write.
