Instrumntl has helped me find donors that I hadn't found through other grant search engines. I'm also very fond of the fact that the donor profiles are broken down by giving areas so that I can easily select the state I'm working in and better see what and where the funder likes to support. The interface is user friendly and I have been able to find and secure new money for a few of my clients. I like having the ability to break down searches by program or capital or capacity (etc) and also by genre, even down to specific animals.

Instrumentl has been instrumental (hah) in expanding research opportunities for my clients and I. Further, they've been SUPER responsive to letting us create a plan that works best for us, instead of just locking us in for an entire year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had a hard time figuring out how to get to instrumntl's main/general search. When I'm not logged in and viewing as a prospective client I can search by genre. But once logged in I seem to get stuck in my portal showing my clients and can not get back to any kind of general search by genre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times when navigating around projects and grant options on smaller devices is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to manage our grant planning for current and upcoming years, schedule reminders for things such as follow up reports, and assign tasks to team members. I also have gotten a lot out of the free webinars and tips sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could save the filter criteria in the Master Tracker. I always use the same settings and always have to manually set them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instrumentl provides all of the data and information that other resources have, but then adds in grant tracking and project management tools - all at a much better price point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve for using the site itself and learning where to find everything, but usage and time take care of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see the platform provide me the ability to save all grant matches at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instrumentl makes the complexity of seeking out and finding well-aligned funding opportunities so easy! The first time I used Instrumentl, I was trying to find potential funders for multiple complex projects/programs for our organization's affiliates in Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, West Virginia, and our hospitals, and under an incredibly intense time crunch. At the time, I was using another well-known search engine but was so stressed out and frustrated realizing that I was looking at a multi-day, possibly multi-week, search and deliver, and would not be able to meet my deadline. I knew there had to be something better, so I found Instrumentl and their 14-day free trial and tried it. WOW!! Through Instrumentl, I was able to accomplish in 6 hours...SIX HOURS...what would have taken days or weeks with the other search engine. I absolutely LOVED Instrumentl so much on that very first try, that I called them and asked if I could be a beta-test customer for their upgrades and any new services. I no longer stress out when met tight deadline challenges because I know without a doubt that Instrumentl has my back!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing about Instrumentl that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's hard to choose which feature I like the most, I really appreciate the researching process as it drastically reduces time spent searching for relevant grant opportunities. After entering my search parameters, I always have useful, accurate, and well-organized results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is hard to answer as I genuinely love Instrumentl's comprehensive package of grants management--from researching to stewardship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instrumentl uses my specific criteria to filter through thousands of grant opportunities to find the best fit for the project. Instrumentl helps organize my workload and keep me focused on deadlines. I appreciate the emails when new grant opportunities become available that meet my project criteria. As a grant professional for more than ten years, I have found Instrumentl to be one of the best tools to use for research and grant tracking. Instrumentl is easy to use and all of the information you need is available in the profile. Additionally, a membership gets you free workshops covering a variety of topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is having enough time to pursue all of the great opportunities! Even with this fantastic tool, you still need to take the time to review the grantmaker's website to make sure everything is accurate and often to get the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, everything has worked very well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite Instrumentl feature is the ability to create separate projects with keywords that simplify the search for applicable grants that align with each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much of a downside, but I wish we could also manage grants once received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
