Instrumental for any nonprofit fundraiser
5
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
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Both Foundation Directory and GrantStation returned outdated RFPs or foundations that had dissolved years prior.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.

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 & 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 :)

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

Where Have You Been All My Life?

The platform is great; the team is outstanding. I think the thing that sets Instrumentl apart from other vendors I've worked with is that they are sincerely engaged with their customers. They work with us on our individual questions, and if the platform can't do something we need, they help us find a work around while the team looks for ways to make updates that customers request. They want us to succeed and they are so responsive I honestly don't know how they do it. It's not the cheapest program out there, but if you can swing the money, you won't be sorry. You'll be working with more clarity, more efficiency, and more success, almost from the start. I haven't seen anything that can compete with it for ease of use, power of the platform, and off-the-charts customer service.

Reasons for switching to Instrumentl
Not an option above, but we were using GrantHub Pro by Foundant, which was sunsetted. After switching, we feel we got a much more comprehensive program.
Vendor Response
Hey Colette, Wow! Your words are so moving and humbling for our team to read :') Our Product, Engineering and Design teams are over the moon knowing that you've found our platform intuitive. I will relay your kind words to our Customer Success team as well! It's so cool that you've benefited from both pre- and post-award features, as well as integrations like with Outlook. The Apply + Advisor feature is relatively new, so it's great that you've already derived value from this tool! Our team does try to be receptive to and actionable on feedback from customers like yourself, so we're relieved to know that's your impression as well! I see you're a former Granthub Pro user. I hope your transition to Instrumentl was/has been smooth! We can help with Data Migration or any other needs you may have. If you have any more feedback for our team, ideas, questions, etc. please don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you SO much again for taking the time to leave this review <3 ~Nate

Vendor Response
Hi Eddie, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It is such an awesome testimony to hear that you found, applied for and won a grant in our platform - woohoo! I love reading that your team is learning about grant writing from using our product and AI tool ('Apply + Advisor'). I appreciate your honesty that there can be a learning curve - being a full grant lifecycle platform means we have many features to account for all that goes into searching for, managing, applying for, and reporting on grants. Your feedback around finding the Foundation Directory outside of our platform is truly helpful! We try to put our Matches algorithm front and center so that you find best-fit funders and grants, so I can see how the directory of foundations was not easy to find. I will be sure to pass that onto our Product team as feedback! A big thank you again for sharing your experience publicly so others can learn more about us and our platform. Best, Nate

Hi Cole, Thank you SO much for sharing about your experience with Instrumentl! I love seeing that our training events have proved useful for you. It's music to our ears learning that your grant research has been so much more efficient as a result of your utilization of our platform! I really appreciate your honest feedback around refining opportunity/funder matches. Whether it is user error or product limitations, it's up to us to make it intuitive (prevent user error) and effective (unlock any product limitations), so we want to partner with you and figure out how to improve your searches! Please reach out to us via chat messenger or email (hello@instrumentl.com) and/or come to our next Customer Office Hours on the Customer Events page where you saw trainings. I'm glad that you feel zero pressure from our team to subscribe. We want our platform to be accessible, and ultimately we want nonprofits and grant writers to succeed! Thanks again! Best, Nate

Instrumentl Rocks!
5
I've been very happy with Instrumentl, we really need to grow our grant funding and it's helping me find new opportunities. Even if I don't have time to reach out to the funder before applying, I've at least applied and can do the diligence and reaching out before the next cycle starts. I've actually shared our account with others at our company so they can grow their own programs and departments as well!
Ratings Breakdown
Reasons for switching to Instrumentl
They were going out of business. We were not using it prior to the switch, but we lost a team member and I was suddenly managing her grants along with mine and I needed more help managing them all, so we got started with Instrumentl.
Vendor Response
Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an honest review of our platform. I'm so glad to see that you find the product simple and well organized for you to discover and track funding opportunities. I totally hear you in reference to forgetting to return to your Matches to prospect further opportunities/funders. It's easy to get boggled down in the tracking, applying and reporting steps of the grant lifecycle! We do send out a weekly New Matches email digest; hopefully this is a helpful reminder for you to continually check new funding opportunities as they go live. If you're not receiving those, please reach out to us at hello@instrumentl.com. You mentioned you're seeing previously-hidden opportunities among your Matches. That is definitely possible if the 'show previously hidden opportunities' filter is enabled. If you don't wish to see opportunities that you've hidden from other projects, then you can toggle that filter off :) Thank you so much again!

I had a one year free trial of the product. While it is a good product, I was more drawn to Instrumentl after a 2-week trial period.
Reasons for switching to Instrumentl
The former product I used, FoundationSearch, is not listed. The question is forcing an incorrect response. FoundationSearch by Metasoft did not meet my needs for management or even prospecting. It was also expensive.
Vendor Response
Hey Cindy :) Your words jump off the page to me--I can feel the excitement and relief you must feel in being able to discover several new funding opportunities and peer institutions. I know what it's like going from one platform that didn't quite meet my needs (and was expensive) then discovering an alternative that just straight-up delivered (and saved me money). We want to be that for you and all nonprofits looking for funding. Any feedback that comes to mind along your journey we are stoked to hear! Your experience is not only what care about when building our features, but also what we depend on to make it better. Anyways, I send my utmost gratitude on behalf of our whole team here for your review. May you continue to discover great-fit grants and win them to fund the awesome work you do! Warmly, Nate
