About Engrant

Last reviewed: 22 August 2026

Engrant is an AI grant-research tool that finds funders that aren't in any commercial grant database, and returns each one pre-evaluated for fit, eligibility, competition, and red flags.

Who is Engrant for?

people doing grant search without a research team — solo consultants, boutique shops, and one-person development functions at small nonprofits

If you are the only person doing grant research for your clients or your organization — without a dedicated research team behind you — Engrant is built for your workflow. You need funders you would never find in a database, already evaluated enough to decide whether to pursue them, not another list of names to investigate.

Who runs Engrant?

Engrant is built by Artem Smirnov, a software developer of 25+ years who serves on the board of Teplo, a French nonprofit supporting Ukraine. He lives in Lithuania with his family.

The board role matters: Artem sits on the grant-seeking side of the table, not only the software side. Engrant exists because the gap between what databases cover and what organizations actually need to find is widest for people doing this work alone — without staff to filter raw search results or maintain subscriptions to multiple regional databases.

Artem founded Engrant on 23 December 2025. The product operates from Vilnius, Lithuania (Belmonto 17C-1).

Where do customers use Engrant?

worldwide — Engrant is not limited to any region, and not limited to the coverage area of any database

Paying customers span Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North America. A funder outside your region is often the purest instance of discovery — the kind of opportunity US-shaped databases structurally cannot surface because they were never included in those databases in the first place.

How does Engrant work?

Engrant runs parallel specialised search agents across the live web rather than searching a single database. Read how the parallel search agents work.

Each search returns 30–50 funders pre-evaluated for fit, eligibility, competition, and red flags — not a raw dump to research yourself. Engrant also writes pipeline events to your calendar, offers proposal drafting help grounded in stated funder requirements, and learns constraints separately for each organization profile you create.

Pricing

Engrant costs $47/month, or $37/month billed annually ($444/year). Both tiers include unlimited searches, unlimited organization profiles, and all features. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card. See pricing for details.
