It is the first software I've used that has integrated so well with Raiser's Edge which is awesome, because now i'm not having to manage my portfolio in two separate systems. > > **Cons**: That I waited so long to buy it. It's an investment for sure, but one new funder more than pays for your annual subscription. > > I love how forward thinking the system is - clearly they are using AI for research and development and are mining a ton of material that is out there but isn't so easy to find (at least not with the time I have to dedicate to research\!) But behind that is a team of really awesome, competent people focused on providing incredible 1:1 service to their customers. ----- ### "Instrumentl: A Valuable Investment for Grant Writers" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *May 13, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features area easy to use especially for grant projects for specialized populations in rural areas. I found opportunities that I had never seen before and many of the traditional opportunities with updates and time sensitive information that is difficult to track. > > **Cons**: As an independent contract grant writer, the price is a bit high but the value makes it a worthwhile investment. The quality of prospect research is so good I will include part of the cost in my future independent grant writer contracts. I am happy to demonstrate Instrumentl's value with my clients through cost sharing. > > I found grant opportunities I did not know existed. I also found the more traditional private, foundation and public grant opportunities but with time sensitive updates which are difficult to tract. The deadline reminders that are posted at the beginning of each week are incredibly helpful to keep my grant calendars up to date. I did not have to independently search each grant on my calendar as the updates were emailed to me. Instrumentl is able to create a sense of community which is difficult to find as an independent contract grant writer. I do not feel alone in my search for successful grant opportunities. ----- ### "The investment is worth it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brianne** | *January 21, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The reporting tools. I love that I can run quick reports of each of my initiates and see what open asks I have and what I have received. This saves me a lot of time. > > **Cons**: The home screen view, being chronological, gets tedious at the end of the year. It would be nice if there were a monthly or quarterly expansion menu. > > Just great\! From our onboarding call to the recurring emails letting us know what new opportunities are available. I suggest it to all my colleagues in non-profits. I tell them it is an investment, but it pays dividends\! ----- ### "Instrumentl: A True Game-Changer" — 5.0/5 > **Cally** | *December 10, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most valuable aspect of Instrumentl is the significant time savings it provides. I have reduced my grant research time by more than 50%, which is particularly impactful given that I am solely responsible for writing and managing all grants within my organization. > > **Cons**: I do not have any significant cons to report. On the rare occasion that I identify an area for potential improvement, I share my feedback with the Instrumentl team. They are highly responsive and genuinely receptive to suggestions, which reinforces my confidence in the platform and its commitment to continuous improvement. > > Instrumentl has been a game-changer\! I’ve cut my grant research time by more than half. As the sole staff member responsible for writing and managing grants, this tool has saved me countless hours in researching, writing, and tracking. I especially love the ability to add collaborators, assign tasks, and avoid manually tracking emails and reminders. The Instrumentl team is fantastic to work with—they respond quickly and are always helpful. ----- ### "Overall very happy we switched to Instrumentl\!" — 5.0/5 > **Danielle** | *December 2, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instrumentl has been a huge asset as both a prospecting tool and a grant management system. I have already found and secured new grants as a result of this tool. It is very user-friendly, and I also like the reporting and tasks features, which help me stay on top of things. > > **Cons**: It is more expensive than other platforms, but I do think you get what you pay for, and Instrumental is constantly looking to improve and add new features. > > Overall, I am very happy with my experience with Instrumentl. The support team is great, and I also love that they do professional development workshops. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015875/instrumentl?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015875/instrumentl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
