The system is wonderful\! The only improvement I might request is that tasks appear in the tracker like opportunities. > > Overall, I love Instrumentl\! My productivity has skyrocketed. My win rate for grants has increased\! The system keeps evolving for good. You should give it a try\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "From Overwhelmed to Organized: Instrumentl Has Transformed My Grant Writing Workflow" — 5.0/5 > **Cindy** | *17 July 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Instrumentl was how much time it saved me and how organized it made my grant process. As a new grant writer at a new organization, finding quality grant opportunities could have been overwhelming. Instrumentl helped me quickly identify grants that were a strong fit—many of which I don't think I would have found on my own. I also love the built-in AI writing assistant for applications available within the platform. It has been a tremendous time saver when drafting proposals. Beyond the software itself, Instrumentl's educational resources have been incredibly valuable. Their 50-Day Turnaround webinar completely changed the way I manage my grants by helping me work ahead, create realistic deadlines, stay on top of tasks, and be a better steward of relationships with funders. Overall, Instrumentl has significantly improved my workflow and helped me become a more organized and effective grant writer. > > **Cons**: There isn't much I dislike about Instrumentl, but there is one feature I'd love to see improved. The new Match Insights feature is incredibly helpful when I'm evaluating grant opportunities because it provides valuable context and saves me research time. However, once I save a grant to a project, those insights don't appear to carry over with it. It would be great if that information remained accessible within the saved grant so I could easily reference it later without having to go back and find it again. It's a relatively small issue, but adding that functionality would make an already excellent workflow even better. Also, there was a bit of a learning curve for me, but Instrumentl offers many resources, including webinars and videos, which helped me learn everything I needed to know. > > I would highly recommend Instrumentl to other grant writers, whether they're just starting out or have years of experience. It does an excellent job of identifying grant opportunities, including many I would never have found on my own. Beyond grant discovery, it has transformed the way our team manages grants by keeping projects, tasks, and deadlines organized in one place. What truly sets Instrumentl apart is its commitment to customer success. Their customer support has been outstanding—I have always received timely, helpful responses whenever I've reached out. They also invest heavily in training through webinars, educational resources, and best-practice guidance that have helped me grow as a grant writer, not just as a user of their software. As someone who is relatively new to grant writing, Instrumentl has given me the confidence and tools I need to succeed. Between its powerful features, exceptional support, and educational resources, I believe it offers tremendous value and has become an essential part of my grant-writing workflow. ----- ### "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
