GrantHub shut down. Here's the calm landing.

Foundant retired GrantHub and GrantHub Pro on January 31, 2026. Since then the platform has been unavailable. If your team used GrantHub for grant tracking, you're either working from a CSV you exported in time, or rebuilding the picture from emails and a shared notes doc. We're still hearing from orgs in both situations months later.

The good news: there's nothing urgent to decide today, and you have real options. The bad news: the official replacement guides Foundant pointed people to are either much more expensive (Instrumentl), much heavier (LiveImpact), or not really like-for-like at all. This post walks through what changed, what to do about it now, and what the trade-offs look like.

Why GrantHub went away

Foundant — GrantHub's parent company — concentrated on the grantmaker (funder) side of the market. Their Grant Lifecycle Manager product serves foundations reviewing applications. GrantHub served the grantseeker side (nonprofits writing them). Maintaining two distinct platforms wasn't their long-term plan, and they made the call to focus on grantmakers.

That left GrantHub's customers — typically small-to-mid nonprofits — looking for a new home.

What's in Bothy today (June 2026)

Worth pausing on this since the product moved a lot since we first wrote this post. If you're evaluating Bothy as a landing spot, here's the honest current state:

• Pipeline + scoring, drag-drop stages, custom weighted criteria
• Funder log + stewardship: past touches + future tasks in one place; auto-suggested follow-ups when you mark a grant submitted
• Reports + relationships: 24-component requirements taxonomy, per-report checklist, auto-cultivation arc (thank-you + site visit + mid-cycle + renewal LOI scheduled automatically on submit→funded)
• Per-funder profile with full lifetime history + days-since-last-touch
• Calendar + .ics export (Google / Outlook / Apple) + 7/3/1 day reminders
• Cmd+K search across grants, tasks, reports, funder log
• Multi-user with real-time presence — see who else is in the workspace, owner/admin/editor/viewer roles, last-owner protection
• Google sign-in (or magic link if your team isn't on Workspace)
• Audit log of every change — grant moved, report submitted, note logged — with one-click restore from the Activity tab if anything gets deleted by mistake
• AES-256-GCM encrypted vault for your AI key (Anthropic or OpenAI) — bring your own and it never leaves your workspace
• Public status page at bothy.so/status (live database probe), HSTS + clickjacking-block + per-IP rate limiting on every public endpoint

If you're an orphan — a 4-week landing plan

This is the path we walk new arrivals through. If you exported a CSV before sunset, you're ahead. If you didn't — we'll start from whatever you have.

1. Week 1 — gather what you have. Pull together the CSV export if you took one, the most recent invoices showing your funder list, any board reports listing active grants, and the emails from program officers in the last 12 months. Even partial data is a real starting point.
2. Week 2 — pick a destination.Run a trial of two options. Send us 20 minutes; we'll do the import for you from whatever you handed over in week 1. Compare against whichever other tool you're considering.
3. Week 3 — clean the data.This is the time to reconcile duplicate funder entries, archive grants you'll never apply to again, and standardize amount formats. Migration is the cheapest moment to clean.
4. Week 4 — onboard the team. Walk the staff through the new workflow. Set expectations: it will feel slower for two weeks, then noticeably faster.
