The the layout of the custom home dashboard is especially useful because it can be filtered to show the opportunities by deadline, allowing for grant mapping for the calendar year. I also appreciate the status updates. > > **Cons**: I'm not sure if this is more user error or not a function, but being able to remove a grant after further research would be helpful. There is the "abandoned" status, but in my experience, sometimes clearing the grant entirely from the tracking history would be preferred. > > I have had a more than satisfied experience with Instrumentl's products and team. I really enjoy participating in the webinars. The public-facing team is also welcoming, friendly, and very supportive. ----- ### "Instumentl is an amazing tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *13 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instrumentl is one stop shopping for everything we need for researching, cultivating and submitting proposals to foundations--990s, information on grants/year, openness to new grantees, annual grant levels, and more. It is very intuitive and easy to use. The search/project builder tool is excellent, as is the reporting function, which allows us to track/report on tasks, prospects, grants received, etc. It also allows us to upload communications and grant proposals and LOI, so everything is on one place. > > **Cons**: No "cons" except that Instrumentl does not yet integrate with our CRM, NEON. When that occurs, we will give it six stars\! Maybe 7\! > > My experience has been extremely positive. I have introduced Instrument at three different organizations, and all continue to use is. ----- ### "Instrumentl is a great way to get organized" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 October 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Instrumentl makes it easy to find grants for a project and that you can keep them organized in the tracker feature. > > **Cons**: I would say that the biggest con for me is the price and I would like to see more payment plan options. > > Instrumentl is a critical part of my grant research process and I am overall grateful that I have the ability to use it for helping clients to find grants. ----- ### "Work Smarter Not Harder" — 5.0/5 > **Laquisha** | *23 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The first thing I did when I became a fiscal manager was search for tools to help me with managing my grant budgets. Instrumentl was my choice after researching two other vendors. The feedback was great and the email responses and availability were in a timely manner. Representatives were very helpful with getting me started with the software. It took me a while to get comfortable with using it only because my new role was already very demanding getting up to speed... to say the least. The Instrumentl software is very easy to use. Even if you are not familiar with the website and its content, they offer tons of tutorial videos to walk you through each tab, step by step. The Instrumentl team members have been extremely helpful with implementing new procedures for me as it pertains to the document and financial portions. They are always creating new features to make the product work better so that you are working smarter and not harder. I had the pleasure of working with \[sensitive content hidden\] over the summer and he was a huge help with me being able to manage my grant budgets in this software. With the latest features of individual expense reporting and document summary scanner, I am super excited for this grant cycle. I no longer have to depend on the system my business office uses to manage and track our spending. The software is worth it once you take the time to explore all that it has to offer. > > **Cons**: I did not like the fact that I had to download an expense template, add my information to the sheet and then upload it. Now, with the new feature, I can go into the actual grant and enter each expense without uploading a document template etc... > > I am very happy that I chose this software and program. The experience with the representatives has been very helpful and became a major go to resource. ----- ### "A newbie at fundraising" — 5.0/5 > **Eddie** | *24 September 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ability of finding donors and foundations that can ultimately help my non-profit. I have a part-time employee and a team that are learning about grant writing and using the AI component to go along with it. > > **Cons**: There seems to be a pretty big learning curve, so it is taking me a while to figure the software out. (For example, no one at InstrumentL told me about just searching my state within the software. I saw a google link to "Mississippi Foundations in Instrumentl" outside of your platform. > > Very good. I've even found a family foundation in my own town that I didn't know existed, applied, and received funds\! ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/317455/instrumentl?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/317455/instrumentl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
