Pricing that pays for itself.
One missed renewal pays for a year of FundMesa. One late funder report can cost you the next award. Pick the tier that fits how many awards you manage and who needs access; upgrade any time.

All plans include a 30-day free trial with every feature of the core app — AI document intake is limited to 10 documents a day during the trial — and no credit card required to start. Find funding is added once you choose a plan. Subscribe any time during the trial; if it ends first, your workspace simply goes read-only until you do.
Every plan includes two-factor authentication, full data export, compliance reports, and the append-only audit log — security and your data are never paywalled.
Find funding Optional add-on
$49/month or $490/year
Get Matches ranked for your organization, search funders by the grants they actually made in their IRS 990 filings, see who funds organizations like yours, and follow open grants from Grants.gov, the California Grants Portal and funders' own websites, then save the ones that fit to your pipeline. Added to any paid plan on the same invoice and cycle: $49/month on a monthly plan, $490/year on an annual plan, per organization, with no seat fees.
Founding price, while the offer is open: $29 a month for your first 12 months, or $348 for your first year on an annual plan.

See where your team's time goes.
Every plan includes per-staff effort tracking across grants. When someone asks "who's spending too much time on what," you'll have the chart instead of a hunch. Formal effort certification for federal awards is included on Team and above.
One staff member's effort split across four grants, from the demo's sample team.
What could you recover?
Most nonprofits don't know how much they're losing. Plug in your numbers — the math is usually sobering.
FundMesa could recover up to
$225,000
Even saving 10% of that pays for the Team plan in about 3 months.

Frequently asked questions
Is there really a free trial?
Yes — 30 days with every feature of the core app (AI document intake is limited to 10 documents a day during the trial), and no credit card needed to start. The Find funding add-on needs a plan first: once you start one, the add-on is free until that plan's 30-day trial ends. Subscribe whenever you're ready during the trial; there's no card on file, so there is nothing to cancel and no surprise charge, ever. If the trial ends before you subscribe, your workspace becomes read-only — your data stays put and still exports with one click — until you do.
What does Starter include?
Everything a small nonprofit needs to win and run its first awards: unlimited grants and funders in your pipeline, deadline tracking with email reminders, calendar sync via ICS (works in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar), CSV import and export, and — once you're awarded — budgets, expense tracking, budget-vs-actuals and funder-ready reports on up to 3 active awards at a time, for up to 5 people. You can build a proposal budget on a grant you haven't won yet without using one of the 3; expenses start once it's awarded. When an award closes, its slot frees up and its records stay visible and exportable. Managing a fourth award, or need reimbursement requests, service-unit billing, effort certification or QuickBooks? That's Team.
Why does Pro cost double Team?
Pro removes the seat cap entirely, carries five times Team's AI document-processing allowance, and comes with phone and Zoom support plus a guided onboarding session. Sage Intacct integration is available on request for Pro: we scope the connection with you, with no date promised up front. It's built for larger nonprofits ($5M+ revenue) running many concurrent awards with a bigger team in the system.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. No "talk to sales" required for any plan change below Enterprise.
Do you offer nonprofit discounts?
The listed prices are already nonprofit pricing — every FundMesa customer is a nonprofit. Annual billing saves about two months compared with paying monthly. If you're a federation or coalition with multiple member orgs, contact us about an Enterprise arrangement.
Does FundMesa help me find new funders?
Yes, with the optional Find funding add-on: Matches ranked for your organization, funder search across about 226,000 grantmakers from IRS 990 filings, peer funders, newly approved private foundations, and open grants from Grants.gov, the California Grants Portal and funders' own websites, with alerts. It is $49/month on a monthly plan or $490/year on an annual plan, added to your plan's invoice, per organization. See fundmesa.com/find-funding for details.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export everything at any time: per-section CSV downloads plus a one-click, org-wide JSON export covering grants, funders, budgets, expenses, deadlines, deliverables, the activity log, and attachment records (the attachment files themselves download together as a ZIP). After your subscription ends (if you cancel, at the end of the period you paid for), we keep your data for 30 days in case you change your mind, then permanently delete it. We never sell or share customer data — see our Privacy policy for the full statement.
Try it free for 30 days.
No "schedule a demo" hoops and no card up front. Sign up, import your spreadsheet, and see if FundMesa earns its keep — you only subscribe once it has.
