The 30-minute call
You leave with three lists, whether or not you ever pay for anything.
Send your website when you book. We read it the way a program officer would, so the call is about your organization, not a slide deck about ours.
- 01
Your open grants, with real deadlines
We checked 341 programs on the funders' own pages. You leave knowing which of the 172 still open fit your work, what each awards, and when it is due.
- 02
What you can claim without competing
191 discounts, donated services and unclaimed revenue sources. We tell you which apply to you, the hours each takes, and the catch, because every one has a catch.
- 03
What is coming up next
62 programs have a deadline in the next six months. You leave with the ones that fit your work in date order, so you are ready before each one.
Free. No obligation. Everything we show you is sourced and dated.

On a call we match every open program to your organization, with deadlines, award ranges and what each funder actually wants to see.
Did you know?
501(c)(3)s are eligible for 191 freebies and discounts.
Free search ads, donated software, free bank accounts, volunteer teams, a sales tax refund most charities never file for. None of these is a competition: you qualify, you apply, you receive it. Here are four you may have heard of. We tell you the catch with each one, because every one has a catch.
Up to $10K/month in ad credit
Google Ad Grants
In-kind Google Search advertising for eligible nonprofits.
Official ProgramWhy it matters: Turns existing demand into donor, volunteer, and program visibility.
GrantedSC helps: eligibility, activation, campaign structure, compliance
The catch: Credit, not cash. It cannot be saved, and accounts are paused for low click-through. Most small nonprofits use a fraction of it.
Free for up to 50 users
Canva for Nonprofits
Free access to Canva's premium tools for eligible charitable organizations.
Official ProgramWhy it matters: Makes polished campaign, event, and donor materials easier to produce.
GrantedSC helps: application, brand setup, templates, team training
The catch: None to speak of. One of the quickest wins on the list.
Free Basic; up to 75% off Premium
Microsoft for Nonprofits
Microsoft 365 Business Basic free for up to 300 users, with nonprofit pricing on Premium, Azure and more.
Official ProgramWhy it matters: Strengthens everyday operations, collaboration, security, and data systems.
GrantedSC helps: portal setup, license mapping, tenant cleanup, adoption
The catch: The free ten-seat Business Premium grant ended in July 2025. Premium is now a discount, not a donation.
Admin-fee catalogue
TechSoup
Donated and discounted software for a small admin fee, such as QuickBooks Online for $80 a year.
Official ProgramWhy it matters: Finds savings across software, hardware, services, and training.
GrantedSC helps: membership, vendor selection, renewals, stack planning
The catch: Several donations are once per organization, not yearly. QuickBooks is one of them.
The full list is matched to your organization on the call.
The bills a typical nonprofit simply stops paying come to about $5,285 to $23,510 a year. The rest is worth what you use, which is why the call covers which ones apply to you, the hours each takes, and the catch.
Coming up
62 grant deadlines in the next six months.
These are the next ones on the calendar. Your report shows which of them fit your work, what each awards and what each funder wants to see, so you are ready before the date and not after it.
Every date is the funder’s own, checked on September 20, 2026. Funders move dates, so confirm on the funder’s page before you plan around one.

How it works
Start free. Go further only if it is worth it.
- 01
Free scan
We read your website the way a program officer would and check which funders and nonprofit programs fit your work. You get the report before we ever talk.
- 02
The call
We walk through the report together: the grants that fit, the programs you can claim without competing, and what is coming up next. The report is yours to keep either way.
- 03
Try the workspace
If you want help drafting, your workspace is built from your website: your mission, programs and past grants in one place, so you stop retyping the same answers. It is free for 48 hours and needs no card.
- 04
Apply and track
For the grants worth pursuing, the report gives you the calendar of published deadlines and the grant-drafting crew writes each application from your own history. You review it, approve it and submit it yourself.
Who you talk to
One person in Charleston, not a sales team.
GrantedSC is Hans Turner. When you book a call, you talk to the person who did the research and who would do the work. There is no account executive and no handoff.
This is a new firm, and we say so. We do not have a wall of client logos or award totals to show you yet. What we have is research you can check: 341 programs read on the funders’ own pages, each with its source and the date we read it.
If the honest answer is that there is not enough here to justify hiring anyone, that is what you will hear on the call.
Pricing
Published prices. No proposal to wait for.
We do not quote you a return, because nobody honestly can: funders decide awards. We will not suggest paying for anything unless the free scan shows enough to justify it.

FAQ
Common questions from SC nonprofits.
- Our research is deepest in the Charleston area: Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties, plus the state and federal programs open to any South Carolina 501(c)(3). We will tell you plainly if your county is outside what we have checked.
- The scan, the report and the call are free, and the report is yours to keep. If you want help drafting, the grant-drafting crew is $186 a month: the $99 workspace plus the Grant writing, Prospect research and Email agents. It is free to try for 48 hours with no card, there is no setup fee and no contract, and it is the same price every organization pays. We will not suggest paying for anything unless the scan shows enough to justify it.
- We will not quote you a return, because nobody honestly can. What we can show you is specific: 172 grant programs open or reopening, each with its published deadline and award range, and 191 discounts, donated services and unclaimed revenue sources that need no competition. Of those, the bills a typical nonprofit simply stops paying come to about $5,285 to $23,510 a year. Everything else depends on your work and what you choose to pursue.
- No. Funders decide, and anyone who guarantees an award is misleading you. We are also a new firm and do not yet have a track record of awards to point to. What we can promise is that every program we put in front of you was checked against the funder's own page, with the date we checked it.
- No, and you should be wary of anyone who says so. It is up to $10,000 a month of search advertising credit. It is not cash, it cannot be saved, and most small nonprofits use a fraction of it. It is still worth having, and we tell you what it realistically does and what setting it up takes.
- Everything on this site was last checked on 2026-09-20. Programs open, change and reopen. Of 341 programs we checked, 172 are open or reopening within a year, and 62 have a deadline in the next six months.
