What you get
Other tools charge you monthly for pieces of this. Omnavar ships it all, complete, on day one.
Search federal grants with no API key and no setup. Omnavar reads your documents and drafts, then finds opportunities that fit your work, across Grants.gov and more.
Write application sections with Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Your own API key, your own costs. No middleman.
Drag-and-drop Kanban board tracks every opportunity from discovery through award. Deadline alerts. Compliance checklists.
AES-256-GCM encryption on everything. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Your grant strategy stays private, on your device.
Unlock with Face ID, Windows Hello, or a security key. Passkeys mean nothing to type and nothing to leak, and the key never leaves your device. A passphrase stays as your recovery key.
Store bylaws, budgets, past narratives. Upload or drag-and-drop. Optionally let the writing assistant reference them.
Every opportunity scored across program fit, eligibility, geography, and funding range. Transparent breakdown shows exactly why.
Built toward WCAG 2.1 AA: keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, scalable text, and high-contrast light and dark themes.
Opt in to a privacy-first directory to find other nonprofits by focus and state, and let them find you. You choose what to share, and you can list or delist anytime.
Track your UEI, CAGE code, SAM.gov status and expiration, and Grants.gov roles in one place. Generate an SF-424 cover sheet straight from your profile.
See typical award sizes, funding trends, and past winners for each opportunity, drawn free from USAspending.gov. The tools that charge for this start at a thousand dollars a year.
