Use Instrumentl's Quick find feature to search our entire database for any grant or funder. Instrumentl's database features all private foundations registered with the IRS, as well as active grants from private foundations, public charities, corporations and state & federal funders. 

Locate the Quick find at the top left of your screen, directly beneath the Instrumentl logo.

Click on the Quick Find to open up the search pop-up.

Type in the name of a funder or grant, and you'll see a list of results appear below. At the top of the list you'll see any active grant opportunities with names related to your search term. In the bottom portion of the list you'll see the 990 reports of any private foundation with names related to your query. 

Select the opportunity or 990 report you're interested in to open up a full page view of the grant page or 990 report.

Tip: If you can't find what you're looking for, try making small alterations to your query as funders may have registered with the IRS under a slightly different name. For instance, if you're searching for the XX Foundation, try replacing the term "Foundation" with similar alternatives like "Trust", "Charitable Foundation", or "Fund". You can also paste the foundation's EIN in the Quick find to easily pull up the funder.

You can easily save a funder or grant opportunity you've found via Quick find to your Tracker.

If you're viewing an opportunity, you'll do this by clicking the "Save" button.

If you're viewing a funder, you'll do this by clicking the "+ Add New" button. You'll then be prompted to enter a funding opportunity name as it is a required field, but if you're just looking to track the funder as a whole, you can type in "Funder name + grant" for that field.

Quick find is an excellent way to easily locate any funder or grant opportunity in our database. Looking for ways to research a funder's form 990? Read more about that here.
