Would a Funder Say Yes? Grade Your Proposal Before You Submit
Paste your draft into the proposal grader and get a funder's-eye read in about 30 seconds — while you can still fix it
Your cursor is hovering over Submit. You’ve read the draft so many times the words have stopped meaning anything, and you honestly can’t tell if it’s strong or if there’s a hole a funder will spot in five seconds.
Before you click — find out.
Grade your proposal in 30 seconds
Paste your draft at grantorb.com/grade. In about thirty seconds you get a funder’s-eye read: a clear score, a breakdown across the six criteria funders actually weigh — need, plan, outcomes, credibility, budget, believability — what you’re already doing right, and every fix ranked, with exactly what to add. Plus re-grades of your revised draft until it’s ready. One-time $49, no account needed.
One-time $49. No signup. No subscription. And we don’t keep your draft.
It works on anything — federal grant or family foundation, arts or housing, five thousand dollars or five million. The grader reads every draft like a seasoned reviewer who knows what funders actually look for. No special version for your grant; good judgment travels.
And it comes before the deadline, not after. The funder’s verdict arrives too late to use. This one arrives while the draft is still yours to fix — so a “probably not” can still become a “yes.”
The honest catch: we built GrantOrb, the AI platform that finds verified grants and writes funder-shaped proposals, and we’re betting that once you see how sharp the feedback is, you’ll want the tool that applies the fixes too.
