Instrumentl is a grant platform for finding opportunities, preparing applications, managing awards, and coordinating work across a team. Its prospecting tools pair AI matching with a database of 450,000+ funder profiles and 37,000+ active RFPs. The company says its team maintains grant and funder information, with weekly updates to saved searches. Apply tools use AI and prior proposal content to draft funder-specific applications and surface earlier answers. Award tools extract deadlines and requirements from award letters, and help track tasks, spending, and budget versus actuals. CRM connections include Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT, and Virtuous, beginning with Pre-Award. Spenddown supports one-way, read-only expense syncing with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT starting with Full Lifecycle. Google and Outlook calendar integration also starts with Pre-Award. Plans begin at $299/mo when paid annually, and a 14-day trial is available. Instrumentl says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, stores and processes customer data in the United States, and does not allow third-party AI providers to train on customer data.
