Our rules
Honest by design.
Grant scams thrive on vague promises. We work the other way.
Official sources only
Each listing links to the funder's own page, with the date we last verified it. Listings we cannot confirm on the funder's page are not published.
No invented facts
Drafts use only what you confirm. Missing facts are flagged and assumptions are marked for you to check.
Your data stays yours
During early access your profile, tracker and drafts live on your device. Export them any time.
A note from the founder
Why I’m building this
I’m working on something that could make finding and applying for grants much easier for Nigerian entrepreneurs.
As a business coach, I know how much time it takes to find the right opportunity, check the requirements and put together a strong application. GrantPilot is designed to make that easier for entrepreneurs like you.
I’d love you to be one of the early users who test it and help shape it.
