Foundations, nonprofits, government agencies, corporate funders, schools, municipalities, tribal governments, and other organizations can now verify, claim, and manage their Official GrantWatch Profiles while earning Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Visibility Tier™ badges.
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GrantWatch today announced the launch of GrantWatch Profiles, a new public organization profile platform that allows organizations across the funding ecosystem to verify, claim, and manage their Official GrantWatch Profile.
Verify and claim your official GrantWatch Profile and earn a Visibility Tier™ badge that builds trust and visibility.
Organizations can verify and claim an Official GrantWatch Profile at no cost. In most cases, ownership can be verified using an official organization email address and other qualifying information. Once verified, organizations can manage their public profile, combining organization-managed information with selected publicly available records.
Advanced research, GrantWatch Intelligence™, Foundation Directory, verified IRS 990 research, and additional grant management tools remain available through eligible MemberPlus+ subscriptions.
The launch expands GrantWatch from a grant discovery platform into a more comprehensive Grant Lifecycle Platform, helping organizations manage visibility, research, grant prospecting, track grants and funding opportunities, proposal development, collaboration, post-award activities, and a more polished workflow for managing nonprofit grant portfolios.
Official Public GrantWatch Profiles
GrantWatch Profiles provide organizations with an official public presence within the GrantWatch Grant Lifecycle Platform.
“Organizations have always worked hard to tell their stories. GrantWatch Profiles give them a way to manage how that story is presented throughout the GrantWatch ecosystem while helping grant seekers and funders access more complete, accurate information.”
— Libby Hikind, Founder & CEO, GrantWatch
Authorized representatives can claim and manage organization information including their logo, mission, organization overview, website, geographic focus, programs and services, communities served, leadership, current projects, funding needs, organization goals, grants received, major funders, success stories, strategic priorities, partnerships, annual reports, outcomes and impact, downloadable documents, and additional organization-managed information.
Each public profile combines organization-managed information with selected publicly available organizational records, giving grant seekers, funders, donors, volunteers, researchers, and community partners a more complete picture of an organization’s work.
More complete profiles earn higher Visibility Tier™ badges while premium research tools remain available through eligible MemberPlus+ subscriptions.
Foundations, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, municipalities, tribal governments, healthcare organizations, libraries, museums, faith-based organizations, businesses, and other grant makers and grant recipients can now take an active role in how they are represented on GrantWatch by claiming their profile, sharing more about their mission, programs, funding priorities, impact, and services, and increasing their visibility across the GrantWatch funding ecosystem.
GrantWatch Visibility Tiers™ are a natural evolution of the GrantWatch ecosystem, giving organizations a new way to participate in the platform by claiming and enriching their profiles. Richer organizational profiles help grant seekers, funders, donors, volunteers, researchers, and potential partners make more informed decisions while strengthening connections throughout the funding community.
Organizations that verify and claim their profiles earn Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Visibility Tier™ badges, recognizing the depth of information available on their GrantWatch profile.
Complete profiles help grant seekers better understand funding priorities, eligibility requirements, geographic focus, organizational programs, and available resources before investing valuable time in an application. Richer profiles also help foundations, government agencies, corporate giving programs, and other funders discover organizations whose missions and programs align with their funding priorities.
As organizations face growing competition for funding and increasing expectations for visibility and accountability, maintaining a complete, accurate, and verifiable public profile has become an important part of fundraising, partnership development, organizational credibility, and stakeholder engagement.
“Every organization deserves an official public presence within the funding ecosystem,” said Libby Hikind, Founder and CEO of GrantWatch. “For years, organizations have had limited control over how they appear across funding databases and online directories. GrantWatch Profiles give organizations ownership of their public story while helping funders and grant seekers access accurate, current information. Visibility Tiers™ encourage organizations to build richer profiles that increase visibility, strengthen credibility, and help create more meaningful connections across the funding ecosystem.”

Organizations can verify and claim an Official GrantWatch Profile at no cost. In most cases, ownership can be confirmed using an official organization email address and other qualifying information. Once verified, organizations can manage their public profile.
