It is easy to compile, review and apply for grants! It is so helping having the grants compiled and easy to sort based upon program. I love the status update options for keeping track of my preferred grants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides to using Instrumentl, I love using it for grants management. Unfortunely we have to use it on a month to month basis, because my board has not committed to the full-year membership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's one of the most streamlined and convenient databases I've used in my 20 years as a grant consultant. The ability to easily find funders for any project or organization is streamlined and easy to use. And I especially appreciate the weekly updates I receive in my email inbox alerting me of changes to grant deadlines and even new grant opportunities. The price point is also very reasonable compared to other databases that offer similar services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that can be improved is that some entries need updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the grant recommendations and management. The platform is easy to use (in its current state) and the team is very helpful and open to feedback. I love that it gives me access to potential funding opportunities I may have otherwise not known about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of team assignments, because I use this with other team members it would be extremely helpful to be able to create a custom view or dashboard for grants for collaborative efforts or to be able to assign team members to certain tasks. I also wish that we would have auto-update of deadlines that have passed but also have further updates. I would also love to have instrumental integrate with my CRM system to help keep everything in one place. I think as a grant platform, I'd love for it to have more accessibility to fully process and work on grants in the platform (ie. have a place where the actual grant application can be seen and worked on in the platform–my team currently uses the platform to find grants, identify the project they are for, and the deadline. We ultimately end up working on each grant in GoogleDocs separately. It would also be able to pre-screen if our organization is truly eligible for a grant. I'd love for this to be a fully functioning platform that facilitates the grant process from prospecting/researching all the way through payment receipt and reporting, where I don't have to go to multiple different places to complete. I'd like to see how it integrates or supports the actual foundations grant portals and extracts and synthesizes the necessary data to complete the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I value most about Instrumentl is that it cut my "grant sleuthing" time down significantly. Setting up a project by using well-defined search criteria is easy and once the project is created, Instrumentl continously searches the web for possible matches. At this point I invest thirty minutes a week reviewing my matches and I am fairly confident that I don't miss any important RFPs. Thanks to Instrumentl I was already able to discover (and win!) a $50,000 grant I would otherwise never have found. Instrumentl is totally worth the investment.

It would be nice to be able to add a few "free form" search terms to each project but franly this is only a minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instrumentl is a "one-stop-shop!" They compile all types of grant funding opportunities and include helpful information on funders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if they could add/rank the competitiveness of the grants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our organization has been using Instrumentl for a year and it has proven to be extremely valuable in our shift to applying to an increased number of grants during the pandemic. We have been able to apply to many grants with much less time spent on researching, which has given us more time to actually applying to them. The layout of the platform is clear and easy to understand and the ability to set up different projects is helpful for team organizational purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike in particular for the purposes our organization has been using it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost was a bit high when compared to other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Instrumentl to be extremely useful for calendarizing hard grant and reporting deadline, as well as suggesting funding prospects for your programs/projects. It has a clean interface that I find intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it's not the ideal platform for tracking cultivation or smaller tasks associated with the grants process. I also feel like there are a few tweaks that could be made to the interface, like adding a "completed" status for grants that you have won and the grant period has now ended for.

The ability to set filters and have the program constantly search for grants that may fit our specific programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if you could eliminate a potential grant from multiple programs at the same time if you know it is not going to be a good fit for your agency overall. It can be time-consuming to have to mark the same grant as Not Interested multiple times as it shows up under different programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface as well as the user experience are very well designed and thought out - Simple and easy to use with minimal training. Great for independent/solo work and also for collaborative work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Information can be out of date/inaccurate on occasions - requiring additional research outside of the tool to confirm dates, type of projected funded, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
