GrantsForYou vs Google Search
You can technically find grants on Google. Here's why most U.S. founders still switch to GrantsForYou — and what they save in time, frustration, and missed opportunities.
The real cost of "free" Google search
Google is free, but grant research on Google isn't. The average founder spends 5–15 hours per session sifting through outdated listings, irrelevant articles, and outright scams. At a $50/hour blended rate, that's $250–$750 in opportunity cost per search.
GrantsForYou is purpose-built for one job: surfacing grants you can actually win, then helping you apply. Most users save 20+ hours in their first month alone.
When Google still wins
We'll be honest: Google is still better for hyperlocal newspaper announcements of brand-new city programs that haven't hit any database yet. If you live in a small city and you're hunting for a $5K main-street microgrant announced last week, Google + your local Chamber of Commerce can outperform us. For everything else — federal, state, regional, and major private funders — GrantsForYou is faster and more accurate.
