The new feature integrates directly into the company’s existing ecosystem, which includes a 12-stage grant pipeline and centralized dashboard. Users can now engage in natural-language conversations to analyze funding priorities, review past award recipients, and examine a funder’s financial history without toggling between disparate spreadsheets or third-party databases. According to Libby Hikind, founder and CEO of GrantWatch, the objective is to allow organizations to focus on securing capital rather than spending hours verifying the validity of search results.

GrantWatch Intelligence™ pulls from three core data streams: a human-verified grant finder, a foundation directory, and a recipient search tool. The system is available to MemberPlus+ subscribers as of June 29, 2026, with access managed through a token-based system. By shifting from a static discovery resource to an integrated intelligence platform, the company intends to provide a unified workflow that handles everything from initial prospecting to post-award compliance reporting.
