The Problem
Grant management is where mid-sized nonprofits lose hours every week. Funder research happens in Instrumentl or a spreadsheet. Applications live in Google Docs with tracked changes. Deadlines live in a calendar. Reporting obligations live in someone's head. Generic grants tools cost $3k-10k a year, don't talk to your CRM, and still require the grants manager to draft every application from scratch.
The Solution
HYS Grants combines AI-powered funder matching, first-pass application drafting, deadline tracking, and post-award compliance in a single workspace inside your CRM. The AI learns your mission, prior winning applications, and funder priorities, then drafts proposals your grants manager edits instead of writes. Awards and reporting obligations flow into the same dashboard as the rest of your fundraising.

Who uses this
Grants manager at a mid-sized nonprofit
Replaces Instrumentl plus Google Docs plus a shared spreadsheet with a single workspace. Drafts and submits 40% more applications per year with the same team size.
Development director
Tracks the full grants pipeline alongside donor fundraising in the same CRM. Forecasts grant revenue with confidence scoring on each open application.
Program director
Gets automatic reporting-period reminders on every restricted grant. Pulls program data into AI-drafted reports instead of reconstructing the narrative from memory.
Coming in 2026
AI features on the HYS Grants roadmap
AI funder matching
Feed your mission, geography, and program areas once; the AI continuously scans federal, state, and private funder databases and surfaces aligned opportunities with deadline countdowns and fit scoring.
First-pass application drafting
The AI drafts need statements, program descriptions, budgets, and evaluation plans using your prior winning applications as voice reference. Your grants manager edits; they don't start from a blank page.
Deadline and requirement tracking
Every open grant has its deadlines, required attachments, and reporting obligations tracked in one dashboard. Automatic reminders hit the grants team and program staff on a configurable cadence.
Post-award compliance
Awards flow into HYS with their reporting calendars, restricted-fund designations, and allowable-expense rules. Expense tracking ties back to grants so audits don't require a two-week scramble.
AI reporting assistant
Generate first-pass grant reports using program data already in HYS. The AI pulls outputs, outcomes, and narrative updates into the funder's reporting template, ready for review.
