You describe the project once. Overnight, a researcher finds grants, foundations, partners, and sponsors matched to your mission — then drafts short letters of inquiry you can edit and send yourself.
Nothing is ever sent without your review. No guessed emails. No Claude subscription required.
Selling a skill file failed because buyers needed a paid Claude account and had to connect Gmail before anything useful happened. This product removes that. You pay. You fill in a short intake. We run the pipeline on our side and deliver the workbook plus editable letters.
Project name, one-sentence description, mission paragraph, what the money is for, target amount, fiscal status, geography, and whether you want grants, family offices, sponsors, or advertisers.
Live web research across project-specific categories. Preference for open calls inside 90 days, stated inbound processes, and recent programs that make outreach timely today.
Letters stay under 200 words, name a real fit with that organization, and tell the truth about nonprofit status. You edit in the browser or in Word. You hit send. We never do.
Sheets for Grant and Funder Leads, Niche Foundations, Family Offices, Strategic Partners, Sponsors, and Advertisers — only the ones you asked for. High / Medium / Low ratings. Status dropdowns. Notes. Date added.
A letter exists only when two things are true: a public contact we can cite, and one sentence that could only have been written to that organization. Otherwise the row is marked Needs angle or Needs contact research.
On the monthly plan, new qualified leads append overnight. Duplicates are skipped by organization name and website domain. Some mornings will have fewer than the target. That is the quality floor working.

Festivals, labs, and consultants: white-label and bulk seats are available by email — producer.grl@gmail.com.
No. The target is a ceiling. If only four real matches exist that morning, you get four. Padding the sheet with junk costs more than a quiet day.
Because there was no published email we could cite, or there was no honest, organization-specific angle. Those rows still go in the workbook. We will not invent a contact to make the delivery look fuller.
No. That was the old wrapper and it blocked sales. You buy, you fill the intake, we run research on our side, and we send you the Excel plus editable letters.
Never. Drafts are for you to review, edit, and send. Your sender reputation is the product.
Most do not accept unsolicited approaches. We only include family offices and philanthropists with a stated giving program, published interest area, or staffed foundation. No gatekeeper fishing.
