### Instrumentl: A Valuable Investment for Grant Writers

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Jennifer S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: May 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

I found grant opportunities I did not know existed. I also found the more traditional private, foundation and public grant opportunities but with time sensitive updates which are difficult to tract. The deadline reminders that are posted at the beginning of each week are incredibly helpful to keep my grant calendars up to date. I did not have to independently search each grant on my calendar as the updates were emailed to me. Instrumentl is able to create a sense of community which is difficult to find as an independent contract grant writer. I do not feel alone in my search for successful grant opportunities.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The features area easy to use especially for grant projects for specialized populations in rural areas. I found opportunities that I had never seen before and many of the traditional opportunities with updates and time sensitive information that is difficult to track.

#### Cons

As an independent contract grant writer, the price is a bit high but the value makes it a worthwhile investment. The quality of prospect research is so good I will include part of the cost in my future independent grant writer contracts. I am happy to demonstrate Instrumentl's value with my clients through cost sharing.

#### Reasons for switching to Instrumentl

Too complicated for the price and the prospect research was not specific enough for small rural underserved populations, the major focus of my grant research.

#### Vendor response

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! We're thrilled that Instrumentl has been such a valuable tool for your rural population work and that you're uncovering opportunities you hadn't seen before. Hearing that the deadline reminders and weekly updates are keeping your grant calendar on track is exactly the kind of impact we're aiming for. We also really appreciate your transparency about the pricing. It genuinely means a lot that you see enough value to build it into your future contracts and share it with your clients. That kind of trust is something we don't take lightly, and we'll absolutely keep working to make sure it's worth every penny. We're so glad you're part of the Instrumentl community!

### Save Time & Raise More Funds with Instrumentl

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Sarah H.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Performing Arts
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: June 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

Instrumentl has helped my grant writing tremendously at my organization. With their tools I was able to find several new funders for my organization (some becoming repeat contributors) as well as gain more insight into some of our current funders. With the 990 analysis they provided, I learned that a funder we thought only would support one of our education programs often funded operating support. With that new found knowledge, I applied for operating support and we got the full amount we asked for! The 990 analysis Instrumentl does is what sets them a part from other grant search databases. It has saved me so much time being able to fine tune my applications as well as save me from pursuing potential funders who did not align with my organization's mission and goals. Within my first year subscribing to Instrumentl, I received $41,500 in grant funding from new funders. That more than paid for the annual subscription! I tell everyone I know who works in grants that Instrumentl is amazing and so worth the price!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love the 990 analysis that Instrumentl does for you. It saves me so much time I would have spent researching whether a foundation is a good alignment with my organization. Being able to see a summary of who a foundation supports, at what level, and percentage of new vs. repeat grantees is so valuable!

#### Cons

I wish I could search more easily among type of grantee. I can see a summary of the Arts & Culture grantees a funder gives to, but I would love to be able to search by that genre in addition to state/year that we currently can search.

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

The 990 analysis was so useful to me during the free trial and the other products didn't have as robust information as Instrumentl had.

#### Vendor response

Hi Sarah, Wow, thank you so much for this review and congratulations on $41,500 in new grant funding in your first year! That's the kind of outcome we work hard to make possible, so hearing it laid out like that is truly exciting for our whole team. The 990 analysis is one of our favorite things about Instrumentl too, and your example of discovering a funder's openness to operating support (and getting the full ask!) is exactly the kind of insight it's built to surface. Really glad it paid off. Your feedback on searching by grantee type is a great one. Being able to filter by something like Arts &amp; Culture alongside state and year would make that data even more actionable. I've passed it along to our team. Thank you for telling everyone you know. It means the world to us!

Just great! From our onboarding call to the recurring emails letting us know what new opportunities are available. I suggest it to all my colleagues in non-profits. I tell them it is an investment, but it pays dividends!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

The reporting tools. I love that I can run quick reports of each of my initiates and see what open asks I have and what I have received. This saves me a lot of time.

#### Cons

The home screen view, being chronological, gets tedious at the end of the year. It would be nice if there were a monthly or quarterly expansion menu.

#### Reasons for switching to Instrumentl

Granthub - They closed and offered us half off the first year

#### Vendor response

Hi Brianne - Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to hear you are loving the ability to run quick reports! Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Home Screen view. We always continue to improve and your feedback is very valuable! If anything else comes to mind, please feel free to share it with us. We're here for you! :D&nbsp;

### Instrumentl: A True Game-Changer

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Cally E.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: December 2025
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Instrumentl has been a game-changer! I’ve cut my grant research time by more than half. As the sole staff member responsible for writing and managing grants, this tool has saved me countless hours in researching, writing, and tracking. I especially love the ability to add collaborators, assign tasks, and avoid manually tracking emails and reminders. The Instrumentl team is fantastic to work with—they respond quickly and are always helpful.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The most valuable aspect of Instrumentl is the significant time savings it provides. I have reduced my grant research time by more than 50%, which is particularly impactful given that I am solely responsible for writing and managing all grants within my organization.

#### Cons

I do not have any significant cons to report. On the rare occasion that I identify an area for potential improvement, I share my feedback with the Instrumentl team. They are highly responsive and genuinely receptive to suggestions, which reinforces my confidence in the platform and its commitment to continuous improvement.

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

Instrumentl offers a comprehensive solution for grant research and management that significantly reduces time and streamlines processes, making it far superior to other options I have tried.

#### Reasons for switching to Instrumentl

Our organization currently uses Salesforce as an excellent donor management system; however, it is not designed to provide comprehensive grant research and management capabilities. The ability to integrate Instrumentl data with Salesforce has been invaluable. It allows me to minimize time spent on repetitive tasks while ensuring that the information maintained in Instrumentl is also accessible in Salesforce for the rest of our team. This integration streamlines workflows and enhances data consistency across platforms.

#### Vendor response

Hi Cally - Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're happy to hear we are able to help you cut your grant research time in half! &nbsp;Thank you for always sharing your feedback with us, you are helping us improve! If anything ever comes up, feel free to share it with us. We'd love to hear from you! :D&nbsp;

#### Pros

Instrumentl has been a huge asset as both a prospecting tool and a grant management system. I have already found and secured new grants as a result of this tool. It is very user-friendly, and I also like the reporting and tasks features, which help me stay on top of things.

#### Cons

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

Customer Service team and overall ease of use of the platform.

### Instumentl is an amazing tool!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Richard K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

My experience has been extremely positive. I have introduced Instrument at three different organizations, and all continue to use is.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Instrumentl is one stop shopping for everything we need for researching, cultivating and submitting proposals to foundations--990s, information on grants/year, openness to new grantees, annual grant levels, and more. It is very intuitive and easy to use. The search/project builder tool is excellent, as is the reporting function, which allows us to track/report on tasks, prospects, grants received, etc. It also allows us to upload communications and grant proposals and LOI, so everything is on one place.

#### Cons

No "cons" except that Instrumentl does not yet integrate with our CRM, NEON. When that occurs, we will give it six stars! Maybe 7!

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

Much broader functionality, more intuitive to use.

#### Vendor response

Hi Richard! Thank you for taking the extra time out of your day to leave a review of your experience utilizing our platform. I love reading how not only you've benefited from the various tools, but other orgs whom you've referred to Instrumentl are also utilizing the platform - hopefully with the same benefits you've cited! Speaking of which, we're thrilled that you find our product features easy to use and intuitive. The fact that you think of our platform as "everything in one place" is absolutely a goal we want to achieve -- making the full grant lifecycle easy, effective and all in one place. That being said, I recognize you utilize a CRM (NEON) that we don't integrate with. We've built out integrations with others like Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT and Virtuous, so I know our Product team and engineers are capable and interested at helping customers like you integrate all your tools to make life easier. I'll share this with them right away! Thanks again! Best, Nate

### Work Smarter Not Harder

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Laquisha V.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: October 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

I am very happy that I chose this software and program. The experience with the representatives has been very helpful and became a major go to resource.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The first thing I did when I became a fiscal manager was search for tools to help me with managing my grant budgets. Instrumentl was my choice after researching two other vendors. The feedback was great and the email responses and availability were in a timely manner. Representatives were very helpful with getting me started with the software. It took me a while to get comfortable with using it only because my new role was already very demanding getting up to speed... to say the least. The Instrumentl software is very easy to use. Even if you are not familiar with the website and its content, they offer tons of tutorial videos to walk you through each tab, step by step. The Instrumentl team members have been extremely helpful with implementing new procedures for me as it pertains to the document and financial portions. They are always creating new features to make the product work better so that you are working smarter and not harder. I had the pleasure of working with [sensitive content hidden] over the summer and he was a huge help with me being able to manage my grant budgets in this software. With the latest features of individual expense reporting and document summary scanner, I am super excited for this grant cycle. I no longer have to depend on the system my business office uses to manage and track our spending. The software is worth it once you take the time to explore all that it has to offer.

#### Cons

I did not like the fact that I had to download an expense template, add my information to the sheet and then upload it. Now, with the new feature, I can go into the actual grant and enter each expense without uploading a document template etc...

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

It was over 2 years ago, so I cannot remember specifically, but I am sure it was the pricing and not having to pay a renewal fee every year.

#### Vendor response

Hi Laquisha, Thank you so much for leaving us a review! I'm so happy to hear you've found our platform easy to use thanks to the resources and team members you've worked with along the way. You said it best: work smarter, not harder. I hope we can continue to save you time while improving your grants management &amp; funding endeavors! I appreciate what you shared about the expense template import workflow. Thanks to your feedback, we've been able to make improvements here as you alluded to. Should more feedback come to mind, please let us know! We're here for you :D

### Instrumental for any nonprofit fundraiser

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Andrea W.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Professional Training & Coaching
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: October 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

Overall, my experience with Instrumentl has been very positive. I have worked with nonprofits who did not use grant management software and I have worked with nonprofits who do - the difference is remarkable, and Instrumentl has set the bar for affordable solutions to grant prospecting and management.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Instrumentl is an all-in-one grant prospecting and management tool. It integrates well with other systems and workflows to keep us on top of emerging opportunities and saves our team hundreds of hours of work prospecting, qualifying, and project managing.

#### Cons

There is such a wealth of information in Instrumentl, it can be difficult to filter out opportunities that aren't a perfect match for mission, goals, or proximity. With experience, this becomes a bit easier, but it is often overwhelming for new users.

#### Reasons for choosing Instrumentl

Both Foundation Directory and GrantStation returned outdated RFPs or foundations that had dissolved years prior. Neither YourCause nor Foundant was as comprehensive as Instrumentl.

#### Vendor response

Hey Andrea! Thank you for writing this review of your experience with our platform. I'm overjoyed to learn how many hours you've saved from the prospecting features on Instrumentl :D That being said, I do appreciate your thoughts around the wealth of information and sometime having to work to filter out opportunities that aren't a great fit. I'm glad it's easier for you now than when you first began, but we are all ears with any ideas and specific feature feedback! Your extensive experience make it all the more humbling to hear you say we've set the bar for a grant management &amp; prospecting platform. Your perspective carries weight, and we value your ideas and opinions as they come to mind! Thanks again, Andrea! We're here for you as needed :)
