It is the first software I've used that has integrated so well with Raiser's Edge which is awesome, because now i'm not having to manage my portfolio in two separate systems. > > **Cons**: That I waited so long to buy it. It's an investment for sure, but one new funder more than pays for your annual subscription. > > I love how forward thinking the system is - clearly they are using AI for research and development and are mining a ton of material that is out there but isn't so easy to find (at least not with the time I have to dedicate to research\!) But behind that is a team of really awesome, competent people focused on providing incredible 1:1 service to their customers. ----- ### "Instrumentl: A Valuable Investment for Grant Writers" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *13 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features area easy to use especially for grant projects for specialized populations in rural areas. I found opportunities that I had never seen before and many of the traditional opportunities with updates and time sensitive information that is difficult to track. > > **Cons**: As an independent contract grant writer, the price is a bit high but the value makes it a worthwhile investment. The quality of prospect research is so good I will include part of the cost in my future independent grant writer contracts. I am happy to demonstrate Instrumentl's value with my clients through cost sharing. > > I found grant opportunities I did not know existed. I also found the more traditional private, foundation and public grant opportunities but with time sensitive updates which are difficult to tract. The deadline reminders that are posted at the beginning of each week are incredibly helpful to keep my grant calendars up to date. I did not have to independently search each grant on my calendar as the updates were emailed to me. Instrumentl is able to create a sense of community which is difficult to find as an independent contract grant writer. I do not feel alone in my search for successful grant opportunities. ----- ### "Instrumentl is a great way to get organized" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 October 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Instrumentl makes it easy to find grants for a project and that you can keep them organized in the tracker feature. > > **Cons**: I would say that the biggest con for me is the price and I would like to see more payment plan options. > > Instrumentl is a critical part of my grant research process and I am overall grateful that I have the ability to use it for helping clients to find grants. ----- ### "Save Time & Raise More Funds with Instrumentl" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *9 June 2026* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the 990 analysis that Instrumentl does for you. It saves me so much time I would have spent researching whether a foundation is a good alignment with my organization. Being able to see a summary of who a foundation supports, at what level, and percentage of new vs. repeat grantees is so valuable\! > > **Cons**: I wish I could search more easily among type of grantee. I can see a summary of the Arts \& Culture grantees a funder gives to, but I would love to be able to search by that genre in addition to state/year that we currently can search. > > Instrumentl has helped my grant writing tremendously at my organization. With their tools I was able to find several new funders for my organization (some becoming repeat contributors) as well as gain more insight into some of our current funders. With the 990 analysis they provided, I learned that a funder we thought only would support one of our education programs often funded operating support. With that new found knowledge, I applied for operating support and we got the full amount we asked for\! The 990 analysis Instrumentl does is what sets them a part from other grant search databases. It has saved me so much time being able to fine tune my applications as well as save me from pursuing potential funders who did not align with my organization's mission and goals. Within my first year subscribing to Instrumentl, I received $41,500 in grant funding from new funders. That more than paid for the annual subscription\! I tell everyone I know who works in grants that Instrumentl is amazing and so worth the price\! ----- ### "The investment is worth it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brianne** | *21 January 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The reporting tools. I love that I can run quick reports of each of my initiates and see what open asks I have and what I have received. This saves me a lot of time. > > **Cons**: The home screen view, being chronological, gets tedious at the end of the year. It would be nice if there were a monthly or quarterly expansion menu. > > Just great\! From our onboarding call to the recurring emails letting us know what new opportunities are available. I suggest it to all my colleagues in non-profits. I tell them it is an investment, but it pays dividends\! ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317455/instrumentl?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317455/instrumentl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
