More than ever, research institutions are turning to non-federal funding sources for support. Fortunately FundFit is the Al matching software of choice of the Science Philanthropy Alliance (SPA), a consortium of philanthropic foundations (non-federal) with $26B+ in funding. SPA’s well-known member foundations are encouraged to proactively reach out to FundFit user institutions and researchers when they see a fit!
FundFit AI introduces a powerful set of upgrades that go far beyond a simple grant database. With intuitive onboarding, dynamic AI matching, and seamless collaboration tools, users can discover high-value opportunities tailored to their unique profile—even those buried deep in public databases or posted on less visible platforms.
Institutions adopting FundFit can also access the latest HERD Survey insights! FundFit now includes our popular HERD Visualizer PRO dashboard at no added cost. Explore trends and benchmarks from your own institution and hundreds of others!
Use FundFit’s AI-driven reverse match to identify strong researcher lineups based on current or anticipated funding trends. By analyzing the context of each researcher’s work, the platform helps pinpoint ideal candidates who may not yet be on your radar—and suggests potential collaborators outside your home institution.
FundFit AI’s search engine understands plain language and complex needs—like “STEM grants for over $1.5M.” Powered by AI, it analyzes both the language and intent of your search to surface not only the most obvious matches, but hidden gems you might otherwise miss. PLUS: Send ongoing notifications to Teams, Slack, or your own web app!
