Grant Matcher · early access

Your farm, matched to the grants that fit it.

Fill in a farm profile once. We show you the schemes that may suit you, remind you before they close and help you draft the paperwork, so nothing good slips by while you're busy farming.

How it worksPricing

How it works

Four steps, then it keeps watch for you

  1. Your farm profile

    10 minutes, once

    Enterprise, herd or flock size, hectares, county, your age and training, and the schemes you're already in. Update it whenever things change.

  2. Matched grants

    Shortlist

    A shortlist of Department, SEAI, LEADER and other schemes that may suit you, each with the rate, the closing date and a link to the official terms.

  3. Deadline reminders

    Email

    A nudge when a matched scheme opens, and again before it closes, with enough time to get quotes and see your advisor.

  4. Help with drafts

    AI assisted

    AI help drafting project descriptions, document checklists and questions for your advisor. You review everything, and you or your advisor submit.

FAQ

Fair questions

Anything else? Email hello@grassgrant.ie and a person will answer.

When does the Grant Matcher open?

We're building it now. People on the early access list will be invited first, in small groups, so we can get it right with real farms before opening it up.

Will I be charged when I join the list?

No. Joining the early access list is free and there's no card involved. We'll tell you the final price before you're asked to pay anything, and you can say no.

What will it cost?

We plan three tiers: Basic at €5 a month or €49 a year, Pro at €15 a month or €149 a year, and Advisor at €49 a month for advisors and consultants (VAT included where it applies). Early access members get these founding member prices first.

I'm not great with technology. Is this for me?

Absolutely. The newsletter is a plain email, and the tools we cover are explained in everyday language. If a tool is fiddly, we'll say so.

Does it replace my advisor?

No. Most Department schemes are filed through agfood.ie, often by your advisor. The Grant Matcher helps you find schemes, keep track of dates and arrive with your notes ready. You or your advisor still decide and submit.

How accurate are the matches?

Matches are a shortlist based on the profile you give and the published scheme rules, with a link to the official terms for each one. Eligibility is decided by the scheme, so always check the terms or ask your advisor.

What does the AI drafting actually do?

It turns your farm details into a first draft of the things applications ask for, like a project description, a document checklist or questions for your advisor. You edit it. It never submits anything.

What happens to my farm information?

It's used only to run the service. We won't sell it. A full privacy policy will be published before launch, and you'll be able to delete your profile whenever you want.

I'm an advisor. Can I use it?

Yes. The planned Advisor plan (€49 a month) is built to help you keep track of deadlines and prep across your clients. Join the list and reply to the welcome email to tell us roughly how many farms you work with.
