Federal Grant Opportunities Dataset

A planned CSV and JSON export of federal grant opportunity listings published on grants.gov. It will be cleaned to one consistent 29-field schema and is meant for grant writers, nonprofit data teams, researchers and tool builders who want the raw records in a spreadsheet, database or app.

Current status (honest version)

• The pipeline that turns grants.gov listings into CSV/JSON is built and tested offline (19 automated tests passing).
• The full dataset has not been produced yet. Live access to the grants.gov API needs an API key, and we are still getting one.
• We will not state a record count until a real export exists.
• The example files below are synthetic. They show the format only. They are not real grant opportunities.

Planned pricing (subject to change; nothing is on sale yet)

Schema (29 fields)

opportunity_id, title, agency_code, agency_name, category_codes, category_descriptions, opportunity_number, description, body_cert, is_forecast, forecasted_award_amount_individual, forecasted_award_unit_of_funding, forecasted_total_number_funded, is_draft, status (posted | closed | archived | cancelled), archive_date, close_date_estimated, close_date_actual, post_date, update_date, description_document_url, other_information_url, all_revisions, opportunity_synopsis_url_tags, funding_instrument_types, opportunity_category_explanation, agency_downloaded_certified_date, current_award_amount_individual, is_deleted.

Dates are ISO-8601. In the CSV, list fields are stored as JSON text and empty values are left blank.

Format examples (synthetic data)

schema_example_synthetic.json and schema_example_synthetic.csv each hold 3 made-up records that show the field layout. The IDs, URLs and amounts are placeholders and do not refer to real opportunities.
