What It Is

Infofonds (Fundingportal) is a SaaS platform for searching and managing grants, tax credits, and government/private-sector incentive funding. It serves businesses, government/municipal agencies, nonprofits, registered charities, consulting/accounting/engineering firms, and economic development organizations. Coverage includes Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with support for both French and English.

Core Features and Integrations

The platform’s core feature is Fundsearch, its funding search tool. The main copy states that it can search around 11,000 funding sources and over 1 million records, with filters by industry, region, organization type, funding size, and use case. Its GDS grant management software covers three stages: “find, apply, amplify.” It uses AI to define projects, match funding opportunities, predict outcomes, and generate reports; helps draft compliant applications via Application Bot; manages teams, documents, and post-award grant workflows in a unified workspace; and sends email alerts about new funding opportunities. For institutional customers, the search tool can also be embedded into websites via iFrame or API, or paired with an applicant triage tool. On integrations, the source text explicitly mentions that the API can sync with Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, SAP, Salesforce, and OpenText.

Pricing and Target Users

Self-service subscription pricing is relatively clear: for 2–10 employees, 1 user costs $30/month billed annually; for 10–100 employees, 3 users cost $60/month billed annually; for 100+ employees, 5 users cost $100/month billed annually. All plans include funding search, email alerts, and discounts on related services. Enterprise-managed GDS, embedded search, and triage tools require requesting a demo, with no public pricing disclosed. We also did not find information about a free plan or trial. It is best suited to mid-sized and large businesses, consulting service providers, chambers of commerce, government agencies, and investment/fund organizations that apply for grants frequently.

Pros and Cons

Strengths include a specialized funding database covering North America and the UK, multilingual support, a relatively complete workflow from discovery to post-application management, and API/iFrame embedding capabilities. The public entry-level pricing is also friendly to small teams. Limitations include insufficient public information on enterprise pricing, SLAs, security certifications, privacy compliance, and permission granularity. The product is not focused on local Chinese policy subsidies, so it has limited fit for Chinese companies looking for domestic grants.

Access from China and Alternatives

The source text does not provide information on mainland China access, payment methods, or localized support, so china_access is rated as unknown. If the goal is to find grants in Canada, the United States, or the United Kingdom, it may be worth trying the product or requesting a demo. If the main need is to find local Chinese policy funding, local government service portals, enterprise-benefit policy platforms, or domestic policy search products are more suitable.
