GrantMaker Alignment Index

Helping Faith-Based & Conservative Nonprofits Find the Right Funding Partners

 

The single most crucial factor in grant research is mission alignment—ensuring that your nonprofit’s values align with those of the grant foundation. The GrantMaker Alignment Index (GAI) is a powerful, first-of-its-kind tool designed to streamline the grant research process by numerically assessing the ideological alignment of grant foundations across the United States.

Introducing the GrantMaker Alignment Index (GAI)

 

Our easy-to-understand political numeric scoring system rates foundations from 1 (Very Conservative) to 10 (Very Progressive), providing clarity and focus for faith-based and conservative nonprofit organizations seeking aligned funding sources. This tool eliminates guesswork, saves dozens of research hours, and helps grant professionals prioritize opportunities that are the best fit for their mission.

GAI Sample Table:

A score of 1 represents strong conservative alignment, while a 10 indicates a very progressive stance. Neither is inherently “good” or “bad”—the goal is alignment assurance to connect the right nonprofits with the right funding partners.

GAI Score & Ideological Alignment

 1 – 3 Conservtive (Red)

4-6 Moderate to Neutral (Purple)

7 – 10 Progressive (Blue)

Why Use the GAI?

 

Save Time – Grant research can often take more hours than writing the actual grant proposal. The GAI significantly cuts down on research time by filtering out non-aligned foundations early in the grant candidate research process.

Ensure Alignment – Applying for grants is more than just securing funding; it’s about building relationships with foundations that support your values and mission. The GAI helps nonprofits avoid wasted efforts on incompatible funders.

Data-Driven & AI-Powered – Using cutting-edge AI tools to analyze publicly available data, the GAI assigns a fact-based ideological alignment score. This ranking is verified through manual sampling to ensure accuracy. Of course we recommend that each nonprofit perform its own due diligence in the comprehensive selection of well aligned grant foundations; the GAI is an important tool in the overall grant foundation selection process.

Exclusive Resource for Faith-Based & Conservative Nonprofits – No more searching blindly through thousands of grant opportunities. The GAI prioritizes the best matches for your organization, making your grant-seeking strategy more effective and successful.

how it works

1. Data Analysis & Scoring – We use AI to analyze public records, funding history, foundation mission statements, and other key indicators to assess ideological alignment.

2. Manual Verification – Our research team conducts manual sampling and direct outreach to confirm and refine the alignment score.

3. Grantmaker Alignment Index Score (1-10) – Each foundation receives a numeric score, allowing nonprofits to immediately understand where a grant foundation falls on the ideological spectrum. The GAI is not a precision instrument- it is intended to provide a reasonably accurate and quick assessment.

4.Customized Search & Filtering – Users can quickly filter foundations to identify those most likely to support their mission.

Who benefits from the GAI?

• Faith-Based Organizations – Churches, religious charities, and ministries seeking funding from grant foundations aligned with their values.

• Conservative Nonprofits – Advocacy groups, policy organizations, and other conservative-leaning nonprofits aiming to connect with like-minded funders.

• Grant Writers & Researchers – Professionals looking to maximize efficiency by instantly narrowing down the best grant opportunities.
