Safety & Verification

Is OpenGrants Network Legitimate?

Yes. OpenGrants Network is an independent, 100% free guidance, research, and program-matching directory. We assist individuals, seniors, and communities in finding verified government aid, registered non-profit programs, and charitable grants.

How to Verify Our Service

To guarantee complete transparency and protect our users from online financial scams, OpenGrants Network operates under four fundamental rules:

1

Always 100% Free

We never charge fees for matching, research, navigation, or guidance. There are no registration costs, subscription tiers, or administrative charges at any point.

2

Zero Sensitive Financial Data Collected

We do not collect bank account numbers, credit card details, Social Security numbers, or government-issued identification.

3

Direct Links to Official Sources

Every program we refer you to is operated and funded by an official government agency, foundation, or registered charity. You always submit applications directly on the official provider’s portal.

4

Automatic 14-Day Data Deletion

All matching request details are permanently purged from our database 14 days after submission. We do not build long-term user profiles or sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.

⚠️

Fraud Prevention & Safety Warning

OpenGrants Network will NEVER contact you requesting payment.

If anyone claiming to represent OpenGrants Network demands money to process a grant application or grant guidance, do not interact with them. Please report the incident to us immediately.
