Kindred Grants

Terms of Use

Last updated: August 13, 2026

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and KINDRED GRANTS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Kindred Grants," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Kindred Grants website at https://kindredgrantshq.com, the Kindred Grants application, and any related services, data, and content (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service Is (and Is Not)

Kindred Grants is a research tool. It compiles information that grantmaking organizations report in publicly available IRS filings — including Form 990, Form 990-PF, and the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File — and ranks grantmakers by how closely their reported giving history matches the cause area and geography you enter.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • We do not sell, rent, or provide a donor contact list. The Service surfaces public research about organizations, not purchased contact databases or personal contact information for individuals.
  • We do not guarantee accuracy or completeness. The underlying data is self-reported by third parties to the IRS, is often several years old at the time of filing, and is matched across filings using automated techniques that carry a stated confidence level. Records may be incomplete, out of date, mismatched, or wrong. Organizations that file Form 990-EZ generally will not appear as grantmakers at all.
  • Fit scores and rankings are estimates. A score reflects historical concentration of reported giving. It is not a prediction, endorsement, or indication that any organization will consider, accept, or fund your proposal. Many foundations restrict giving to invited proposals or have changed strategy since their last filing.
  • We provide no legal, tax, accounting, financial, or fundraising advice. You are solely responsible for verifying any information before acting on it, including by contacting the grantmaker directly and reviewing its current guidelines.
  • We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service, any government agency, or any grantmaking organization identified in the Service.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

To access search results and grantmaker profiles, you must create an account using a valid email address and password. You agree to:

  • provide accurate, current information and keep it up to date;
  • keep your password confidential and not share your account credentials or allow others to access the Service through your account;
  • notify us promptly at contact@kindredgrantshq.com of any unauthorized use of your account.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are shared across organizations, resold, or used in violation of these Terms.

3. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

Free and paid tiers. Certain features — including submitting a search — may be available without a paid subscription. Access to full search results and grantmaker profiles requires an active paid subscription ("Pro").

Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not collect or store your full payment card number, CVC, or expiration date. Your use of Stripe's checkout is subject to Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.

Automatic renewal. Pro subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan you select) and renew automatically at the then-current rate until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method on each renewal date.

Cancellation. You may cancel at any time from your account page or the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access until that date.

Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused time, or periods during which you did not use the Service.

Price changes. We may change subscription pricing. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before a price change applies to your subscription. Continuing your subscription after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Taxes. Fees exclude applicable sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes, which you are responsible for paying.

Failed payments. If a charge fails, we may suspend your access to paid features until payment is successfully processed.

4. Acceptable Use

You may use the Service only for your own internal fundraising research or for research on behalf of a single client organization you represent. You may not:

  1. scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, or use any automated means to access, extract, or index the Service or its data;
  2. bulk-download, export, copy, or systematically retrieve the dataset or any substantial portion of it;
  3. resell, sublicense, republish, redistribute, or make the Service or its data available to any third party, or use it to build or improve a competing product or dataset;
  4. share account credentials, or provide access to users outside your organization;
  5. circumvent, disable, or interfere with any paywall, rate limit, authentication, or security feature;
  6. reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, ranking algorithm, or matching logic of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is unenforceable under applicable law;
  7. use the Service to send unsolicited bulk communications, or in any way that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or any other applicable law;
  8. upload or transmit malware, or otherwise impair the integrity or performance of the Service;
  9. misrepresent your identity, your organization, or your affiliation with any organization;
  10. use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose.

We may monitor usage for compliance and may impose reasonable rate limits.

5. Intellectual Property

Our rights. The Service — including its software, interface, design, text, ranking methodology, confidence-scoring system, the selection, arrangement, enrichment, and presentation of data, and the Kindred Grants name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except as expressly granted in these Terms, we reserve all rights.

Underlying public data. Factual information sourced from IRS filings and the Business Master File is public record and is not claimed as our property. Our compilation, matching, enrichment, and presentation of that information is.

Your license. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service, and to use search results internally for your own grant-seeking research. You may share individual results within your organization or with your board. You may not publish, redistribute, or commercialize the results.

Your content. You retain ownership of information you submit (for example, your organization name and search inputs). You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, and use that information as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free right to use it without obligation to you.

6. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Lovable Cloud for hosting and application infrastructure, Supabase for database and authentication, Stripe, Inc. for payment processing, and Google Analytics 4 for aggregate usage analytics. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or terms of these providers. The Service may also link to third-party websites; we do not endorse and are not responsible for them.

7. Availability and Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including data sources, features, ranking methodology, and plan structure. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time. We may perform maintenance without notice.

8. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service.

On termination: your license to use the Service ends immediately; Sections 1, 5, and 8 through 14 survive; and, except where we terminate without cause, no refund is owed.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE DATA IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE, THAT ANY GRANTMAKER IDENTIFIED WILL RESPOND TO OR FUND YOU, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR FUNDRAISING RESULT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST GRANT FUNDING, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless KINDRED GRANTS, LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your violation of any third party's rights; or (d) any outreach, solicitation, or communication you send to any organization identified through the Service.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Duval County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim arising out of the Service must be filed within one (1) year after it arose, or be permanently barred.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice in the Service before they take effect. Changes apply prospectively. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your account. You may send notices to legal@kindredgrantshq.com.
  • Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
