How it works
Three steps from "I need funding" to a finished application.
1
Build your profile
Answer a few questions about your organization once — mission, programs, budget, and what you need funding for.
2
We find potential matches
Checkmate Grant Pro searches live federal opportunities and public foundation information, then helps you review possible matches. Final eligibility is determined by each funder.
3
AI writes & preps it
Pick a grant and AI drafts every answer in your voice. You get a ready-to-submit application — then we walk you through filing it on the funder's own site.
Grants available right now
Explore 0 opportunity-category examples, then run a live search of current federal grants and public foundation information.
Category counts are illustrative and may overlap. Live search results come from public sources such as Grants.gov and IRS nonprofit data. Always verify details on the official funder page.
Start your nonprofit — get your 501(c)(3)
Want tax-exempt status so you can accept donations and qualify for more grants? Fill in your info once and our team prepares and files your 501(c)(3) for you — incorporation, EIN, and the IRS application. You focus on your mission; we handle the paperwork.
$375 flat — all-inclusive
We even cover the $275 IRS filing fee for you. One price, no surprises.
🔒 Your info is private. A Checkmate specialist prepares and files your IRS application (Form 1023 / 1023-EZ) — the $275 IRS fee is included in your $375. Larger organizations file the full Form 1023 for $700 all-inclusive (the $600 IRS fee is included).
✅
Application received!
Next: a Checkmate specialist reviews your info and reaches out with your prepared 501(c)(3) filing and next steps.
Get your SAM.gov registration & UEI number
Before you can receive any federal grant, your organization must be registered at SAM.gov with a UEI (Unique Entity ID). The process is slow and confusing — so we do it for you. Fill in your info once and we handle the registration and get your UEI.
$99 done-for-you
SAM.gov registration is free at sam.gov — you're paying us to do the paperwork & get your UEI, hassle-free. ⚠️ Never pay anyone for the registration itself.
🔒 Your info is private. A Checkmate specialist completes your registration at the official SAM.gov and sends you your UEI.
✅
Request received!
Next: a Checkmate specialist starts your SAM.gov registration and follows up for anything else needed to issue your UEI.
Clean up your credit report
We dispute the inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable items on your credit report with all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act — and our AI drafts the dispute letters for you. We never remove accurate debts (no honest company can), but wrong or unverifiable items can come off.
Billed monthly or per item
No upfront fees. You can dispute items yourself for free at each bureau — you're paying us to do it right, track it, and write the letters. Results are never guaranteed.
We'll review your report with you on a quick call.
🔒 Do not enter your Social Security number or full account numbers here. We collect anything sensitive securely after we speak.
🔒 Your info is private. A Checkmate specialist reviews your report with you and files the disputes on your behalf.

Request received!
A Checkmate specialist will reach out to review your credit report with you and start disputing the inaccurate or unverifiable items.
Reputation & review management
Fake or unfair reviews hurting you? We flag reviews that break Google's policies (fake, spam, off-topic, conflict of interest) so Google can remove them, professionally respond to reviews, and help you earn more real 5-star reviews so the good ones rise to the top. We can't delete genuine reviews — nobody can — but policy-violating ones come down, and your rating can climb fast.
Custom monthly plans
Honest reputation work — we never post fake reviews or promise to erase real ones.
🔒 Your info is private. A specialist audits your reviews and flags anything that violates platform policy.
✅
Got it!
A specialist will review your reviews, flag policy-violating ones, and send you a plan to lift your rating.
Get eligible for Walmart grants (Spark Good)
Walmart gives $250–$5,000 local grants through its Spark Good program — but first your nonprofit must be verified (this used to be called "FrontDoor"; Walmart now verifies through Deed). We set up your Spark Good account and get you verified so you're eligible to apply.
$49 done-for-you
Registration is free at Walmart — you're paying us to set it up & get you verified. Requires an active 501(c)(3).
🔒 Your info is private. A Checkmate specialist registers you in Walmart Spark Good and completes Deed verification so you can apply for Walmart grants.
✅

Get eligible for Target grants (Target Circle community giving)
Target gives through Target Circle community giving (shoppers earn votes that direct grants to local nonprofits), Community Engagement Funds (local store & distribution-center giving — the next application cycle opens August 2026), and Target GiftCard donations (any 501(c)(3) or accredited school can request one — averaging $25–$50, up to $500/yr). We register your nonprofit and prepare your requests so you're set up to receive Target funding.
$49 done-for-you
Enrolling is free at Target — you're paying us to set it up. Requires an active 501(c)(3) or accredited school in the U.S.

You can approach more than one nearby warehouse. We confirm you fit their guidelines, find your local warehouse(s), and prepare & submit your requests.
$49 done-for-you
Requesting is free at Costco — you're paying us to prepare & submit it. Requires an active 501(c)(3). Note: one request per Costco fiscal year (Sep 1–Aug 31); allow ~3 months for time-sensitive asks.
🔒 Your info is private. A Checkmate specialist confirms your Costco eligibility, identifies your local warehouse(s), and prepares your gift-card donation and/or online grant request.
