GrantTitan Articles
Plain-language writing on grants, giving, and getting funded — for the nonprofits who apply, the funders who decide, and the teachers and schools in between. A new article appears here every day.
Some pieces explain the rules nobody writes down: what “eligible” really means, which documents every funder asks for, how a funder checks your tax status. Others are working guides — scoring applications fairly, itemizing a classroom need, asking for donated equipment — written to be used the same morning you read them. Every fact that comes from outside GrantTitan is sourced and linked, so you can check it yourself.
Funder operations
Legacy grant software costs thousands a year, so small foundations run grants from an inbox. The real bill — re-typed applications, hidden funders — lands on applicants.

GrantTitan’s credential is not a badge we bought — it is a record you can read. Every verified profile names the source it was checked against and the date it was checked. This is the short version; the full page explains every rule.
Advance-fee grant scams dress up in borrowed badges. GrantTitan displays no certification logos at all — only claims you can check yourself, in one click, at the source. Our seal appears only where a check has actually run — and every check names its source.
Nonprofit status is checked against IRS Tax Exempt Organization records.
Payments are processed by Stripe. GrantTitan never holds grant funds and never sees or stores card numbers.
No student names, photos, or records — anywhere, by design. We are ready to sign the National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) with any district.
Every certification we’ve earned, and the ones still in progress, are listed on our Trust & Security page. We claim only what we hold.
