Closing the gap between funding and the communities that need it most.
Big cities have grant writers and consultants. Most rural communities don't. Funding Finder closes that gap with technology that's simple, free, and on your side.
Federal funding should reach everyone.
Each year, billions of federal and state dollars are set aside for rural America. Most of it goes unclaimed — not because towns don't qualify, but because finding the right program, reading the rules, and writing a competitive application is a full-time job.
Funding Finder pre-screens hundreds of programs against your community's actual eligibility, ranks them against your priorities, and helps you draft a Letter of Interest in minutes.
We're built by element14, a small team that believes good public infrastructure shouldn't depend on whether your town has a grant writer.
You don't have to do this alone. There are people and programs ready to help.
Funding Finder gets you to the right programs. When you're ready to apply, these technical-assistance partners and our own team can help you cross the finish line.
Help us reach every rural community.
Funding Finder is free to use — but it costs real money to build and expand. Learn how you can support the mission or bring it to your state.
