Question 1

How do I know if the Self-Managed SaaS plan (€79/mo) or Executive Program (€990) suits me better?

Accepted Answer

If your NGO has internal staff with time to draft proposals and only needs to automate discovery and draft generation, the SaaS plan (€79/mo) is ideal. If your organization lacks dedicated staff and prefers a turnkey service where our team drafts 3 complete proposals, the Executive Program (€990) offers a guaranteed outcome.

Question 2

What guarantee do I have if I choose the Executive Program and no grants are found?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee: if within 30 days we do not find 3 open public calls with a high fit score for your NGO, we refund the full amount no questions asked.

Question 3

What is the difference between monthly and annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Annual billing includes a direct 13% discount (€69/mo instead of €79/mo), reducing your annual fundraising toolkit expense while preserving all platform capabilities.

Question 4

Is there any contract lock-in or cancellation penalty?

Accepted Answer

No. FundingQuarry SaaS plans have zero mandatory lock-in. You can cancel or change your plan at any time directly from your dashboard without penalty.

Question 5

How can I test if FundingQuarry will find grants for my organization before paying?

Accepted Answer

You can use our free Eligibility Scanner to check your NGO’s compatibility with open grant calls before subscribing.

Question 6

Does it work for small associations without dedicated fundraising staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FundingQuarry was built specifically with small and medium non-profits in mind. The platform cuts search time from 20 hours per week down to minutes and generates structured Word (.docx) drafts so any team member or volunteer can submit competitive proposals.

Question 7

Is it suitable for large foundations, federations, or NGO networks?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. For large organizations, our Enterprise plan lets you manage multiple branches with separate, secure data - integrating the history of all your grant reports in one place.

Question 8

Which public databases and official sources are monitored?

Accepted Answer

FundingQuarry’s engine daily scans BDNS (Spanish National Subsidies Database), SEDIA, Public Sector Contracting Platform (PLACSP), European Union’s TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), and regional official bulletins.

Question 9

Which Third Sector focus areas are covered?

Accepted Answer

It covers all social non-profit sectors: social inclusion (ESF+, personal income tax funds), childhood & youth, international cooperation, disability, elderly care, environmental sustainability, culture, and community development.

Question 10

How does FundingQuarry help with both local regional grants and European Funds (ESF+, CERV, Horizon)?

Accepted Answer

The platform automatically indexes evaluation criteria for every call, whether it is a local municipal grant or a major EU fund, tailoring draft language and KPI tables to official guidelines.

Question 11

In what format are generated proposal drafts delivered?

Accepted Answer

All proposal drafts are delivered as 100% editable Microsoft Word (.docx) files, structured according to official call sections and ready for your team's final review.

Question 12

How are my NGO’s private documents and historical reports protected?

Accepted Answer

Your data is protected and never used to train public AI models. Each organization also gets a private space with encryption and access restricted to your authorized team.

Question 13

How are our organization’s statutes and reports used?

Accepted Answer

You can upload past statutes, audit reports, and activity summaries in PDF or Word. FundingQuarry uses them so every draft reflects your real experience and justifies your technical capability in each proposal.

Question 14

What happens if a technical draft generation process fails or gets interrupted?

Accepted Answer

The system includes automated retry mechanisms. If a generation fails due to a technical glitch, it does not consume your subscription quota and can be re-run immediately.

Question 15

Who can access and manage my NGO’s projects in the dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Only authorized users within your organization. You can assign admin or editor roles to control which team members can view or edit applications.
