Platform Update 2.2: Our Deep-Dive Grant Matching Algorithm

Overview

On January 22, 2025, GrantExec took a major leap forward in how we match organizations with funding. By expanding the amount of information each opportunity feeds into our AI by a factor of five, we can now provide richer, more targeted results. Our secret sauce: Opportunity Intelligence Summaries—multi-paragraph, AI-generated (but Data Analyst–guided) descriptions of each funding opportunity. These in-depth write-ups capture the nuances of every grant’s objectives, eligibility requirements, impact areas, and unique parameters, fueling a matching algorithm that helps you find the right grants faster.

Built by Engineering, Led by Data Ops

Expert Curators Our Data Ops specialists direct and refine the AI’s content generation, ensuring that the resulting summaries are both accurate and comprehensive. They supply context, keywords, and top-line priorities so that the AI doesn’t just rewrite existing copy but truly enriches it with relevant insights.
Quality Control Before any newly generated description enters our matching pipeline, it undergoes a thorough check. The Data Ops team confirms the AI accurately captures each grant’s scope, restrictions, and goals, ensuring nothing critical falls through the cracks.
Continuous Improvement
User feedback and evolving grant criteria constantly reshape the matching algorithm. Our Data Ops team iterates the content accordingly, making sure GrantExec’s algorithm always has fresh, relevant information to deliver optimal matches.

What Makes These Opportunity Summaries Different

Nuanced Context
Rather than relying solely on a funder’s short blurb, each summary incorporates deeper layers of context—like the funder’s strategic mission, any special eligibility constraints, or potential synergy with related programs. This ensures your recommendations aren’t missing critical details.
AI + Human Insight
Our AI engine does the heavy lifting of summarization, but real people guide the process. Data Ops analysts provide direction, verify data quality, and add essential clarifications so every final write-up is both human-readable and programmatically sound.
Structured + Narrative Data
In addition to bullet points or tags, each opportunity gets a rich, narrative-style overview. That blend of structured data (e.g., eligibility criteria, deadlines) and textual nuance (e.g., the “why” behind the grant) leads to significantly more accurate matches.
More Attributes for Better Precision
By quintupling the data our algorithm processes—from funding history to geographic considerations and specialized eligibility rules—we minimize false leads and surface truly relevant funding fits.

Why This Matters for You

Reduced Search Time
A more comprehensive dataset means the AI can better filter out mismatched or irrelevant grants, so you focus only on those that truly align with your mission.
Higher Application Success
By presenting the deeper “why” behind a grant alongside the “what,” you can craft stronger, more tailored proposals that resonate with funders.
Faster, Richer Insights
These curated, multi-paragraph descriptions equip you with more context to quickly decide whether to pursue a given opportunity.
