Bad-fit grants waste staff time
FundSight filters opportunities before they become weeks of unfocused work.
Church funding intelligence
Know which funding is worth pursuing.
FundSight helps churches and nonprofits screen grants, donors, deadlines, readiness gaps, and budget rules before they spend months chasing the wrong money.
No funding guarantees. No percentage of awards. No unsupported budget claims. Just disciplined funding intelligence.
The real problem
Most organizations do not have a funding problem. They have a pursuit problem.
They chase opportunities that do not fit, miss deadlines they could have prepared for, submit before they are ready, or discover too late that the budget rules do not support the work required.
Missing documents stall applications
Leaders see the readiness gaps before a deadline forces a rushed submission.
Budget rules are misunderstood
Allowable support costs are reviewed against the funder’s written rules.
Pastors carry work they should not have to carry
The Desk gives research, deadlines, documents, and pursuit planning a home.
The product
FundSight turns funding chaos into a clear pursuit plan.
Church funding intelligence is not a list of grants. It is a disciplined process for deciding what is worth pursuing, what is not ready, and what must be approved next.
Funding Map
We identify credible funding lanes across grants, donors, DAFs, sponsors, denominational pathways, and public-benefit programs.
Fit Screen
We check eligibility, mission alignment, funder priorities, geography, award size, and restrictions.
Readiness Gap
We show what documents, proof points, budgets, partners, or approvals are missing before you pursue.
Pursuit Plan
You receive a prioritized plan showing what to pursue, what to decline, what to prepare, and what to approve next.
Evidence Cards
Every serious opportunity gets an Evidence Card.
An Evidence Card makes the recommendation visible. It shows the funder, rules, fit, readiness gaps, budget treatment, documents, and recommended action in one board-friendly artifact.
- Clear enough for a pastor.
- Detailed enough for a board.
- Careful enough for finance review.
Payment pathways
Built for responsible pursuit.
FundSight helps clients prioritize opportunities where professional funding support can be planned responsibly. When funder rules allow, support may be included in the award budget. When rules do not allow it, we tell you before you pursue.
Award-Budgeted Support
Where written funder rules allow, support may be included as administration, project management, capacity-building, consultant support, indirect cost, or grant management.
Deferred Pursuit Approval
Some pursuits may be authorized in writing with payment timing tied to the approved engagement terms. Nothing is hidden or assumed.
Direct Client Approval
If a funder does not allow support costs in the budget, the client can pay directly, approve another compliant path, or decline the pursuit.
Compliance note: Final budget treatment must follow the funder’s written guidelines and the client’s finance, legal, or board review. FundSight does not take a percentage of grant awards, hide fees inside unsupported budget lines, or submit a pursuit without client authorization.
Annual Funding Plan
We scope the year. You pay monthly.
FundSight scopes the year around your funding goals and gives your team a simple monthly plan for monitoring, readiness, and pursuit planning.

Questions leaders ask
Plain answers before a meeting.
Use the filters or search to find the question your board is most likely to ask.
Is FundSight a grant writer?
Not primarily. FundSight is a funding intelligence and pursuit-planning service. Grant writing may be part of an approved pursuit, but the first value is disciplined screening.
Do you guarantee funding?
No. No ethical funding partner can guarantee an award. FundSight improves decision-making before pursuit by screening fit, readiness, deadlines, funder priorities, and budget rules.
Do you take a percentage of grant awards?
No. FundSight does not charge a percentage of grant awards. Fees are fixed, scoped, and approved in writing.
Can FundSight be paid from the grant?
Sometimes. If the funder’s written rules allow administrative support, capacity-building, project management, consultant support, indirect costs, or grant management, FundSight may help budget those costs appropriately.
What if a grant does not allow your fee?
Then we tell you before you pursue. You can decline the opportunity, pay directly, defer under a written agreement, or approve another compliant path. We do not hide unsupported costs in a budget.
What types of funding do you look for?
Grants, donor-advised funds, major donor pathways, sponsorships, denominational funding, public-benefit programs, capital campaign intelligence, and capacity-building opportunities.
Is this only for churches?
No. FundSight serves churches, ministries, and nonprofits. For churches, we focus on fundable public-benefit work such as food access, youth development, community care, recovery, education, housing-related services, and refugee or immigrant support.
What do we need before starting?
Ideally: legal name, EIN, 501(c)(3) letter if applicable, budget, board list, program descriptions, financials, impact stories, photos, and existing grant or donor materials. If you do not have these, FundSight identifies the readiness gaps.
How fast can we know if we are fundable?
The first step is a Funding Map or demo. From there, FundSight can identify likely lanes, obvious blockers, and near-term opportunities worth reviewing.
Will this create more work for our staff?
It should reduce wasted work. Some documentation will still be required, but FundSight clarifies what matters, what is missing, and what is not worth chasing.
How does FundSight protect our organization?
By screening fit before pursuit, documenting assumptions, clarifying budget rules, avoiding unsupported claims, requiring written authorization before submission, and recommending decline when an opportunity is not worth the burden.
What is the first step?
Book a demo. FundSight will review your funding goals, current programs, readiness, and likely funding lanes.
Stop chasing funding blind.
