Grant Connect Subscription FAQ
Grant Connect plans and pricing
The Essential plan allows access for 2 users, includes 5 years of funder gift history and financial data, and offers tiered pricing options based on your organization’s annual revenue. The Premium plan allows access for 20 users, includes 35 years of funder gift history and financial data, and is the same price for organizations of any size. Both plans offer access to the same funders and features, and the monthly Funder Alert newsletter.

Yes - both our Essential and Premium plans have monthly term options for flexibility. Additionally, our Essential plan pricing is determined by your organization’s annual revenue, which means you can benefit from reduced rates if your charity’s annual revenue is under $5 million.
There are no cancellation fees, but a refund will not be issued for unused amounts. If you have any questions, please contact us at grantconnect@imaginecanada.ca.
Your organization size is based on the total organizational annual revenue for the most recent fiscal year. If you’re uncertain of your total annual revenue, you can reference line 4700 of your most recent T3010, which can be found using the CRA’s Charity Listings Search, and following these steps. If you are a nonprofit without a charitable registration number, a member of our team will follow up with you upon purchasing to ask for confirmation of your revenue (ie Annual Report, etc).

No - as per Grant Connect’s Terms of Use, a single subscription cannot be shared by users from different organizations.
Yes - if chapters or subsidiaries share the same charitable registration number (BN), then a single Grant Connect plan can be purchased and shared among users from the chapters or subsidiaries so long as the maximum number of users allowed per plan is not exceeded (2 users for Essential Plans; 20 users for Premium Plans). If chapters or subsidiaries have distinct BNs, they cannot share a Grant Connect subscription. Please contact us at grantconnect@imaginecanada.ca if you have further questions.

Testimonials
Grant Connect gives me the information I need so I can ask the right questions and make a personal impression. This helps me to stand out in a sea of requests and, ultimately, succeed in securing funding. You only have so many arrows in your quiver and you want them to hit the bullseye without wasting time, effort and money. I would definitely recommend Grant Connect to any organization that wants to take the guesswork out of seeking funding.
– Paul Evered, Senior Giving Officer at Operation Smile Canada
Grant Connect is phenomenal! It's a really easy to use and comprehensive service.
– Ian Michael Smith, Canadian Cancer Society
The data is reliable and the interface is easy to use. Beyond that, I know I can rely on the fact that the Grant Connect team has checked and re-checked information, including what's necessary and interpreting what's obscure - and they respond so quickly if I need help or guidance. Other tools I have used in the past do not have the same depth of information and understanding of fundraising as Grant Connect.
