What we don’t do:
- We don’t guarantee you’ll win any grant
- We don’t submit grant applications on your behalf (unless explicitly stated in a specific service package)
- We’re not a government agency and we’re not affiliated with any federal, state, or local government

3. Our Services and What You Can Expect
Service Descriptions
Each service we offer comes with its own specific scope and deliverables. When you purchase a service, you’ll receive a clear description of what’s included, timelines, and what we’ll deliver.
Grant Research Services: We’ll conduct thorough research based on the information you provide and deliver a customized list of grant opportunities you may qualify for.
Grant Matching Service: Our experts meticulously analyze your profile, conduct in-depth research across trusted grant sources, and curate personalized opportunities from our comprehensive database.
Resource Guidance Services: You’ll get access to application templates, writing tips, budgeting tools, and other resources to improve your grant proposals.
Community Support Services: Connect with others seeking grants, ask questions, share experiences, and learn from our community knowledge base.
Service Delivery Timeframes
We work hard to deliver results quickly, but grant research takes time. Typical delivery timeframes will be outlined when you purchase a service. Delays can happen due to factors beyond our control (like government database downtime or incomplete information from you), but we’ll always inform you if timelines change.
Your Responsibilities
To help us help you, we need accurate and complete information. The quality of our grant matches depends on what you tell us about your situation, goals, and eligibility criteria.
If your circumstances change (like a change in income, location, or project scope), please update your profile so we can provide the most relevant opportunities.
4. Pricing, Payments, and Refunds
Service Fees
Our pricing is clearly displayed on our website for each service. We believe in affordable access to grant resources, and we work hard to keep our fees reasonable.
All prices are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Payment Methods
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods as displayed at checkout. Payment is typically required upfront before service delivery begins.
Subscription Services
Some of our services operate on a subscription basis (monthly or annual). When you subscribe:
- You’ll be automatically charged at the beginning of each billing cycle
- You can cancel anytime, but there are no partial refunds for unused portions of your subscription period
- We’ll notify you before any price changes take effect
Refund Policy
We want you to be satisfied with our services. Here’s our refund approach:
For one-time services: If we haven’t started work on your grant research, you can request a full refund within 48 hours of purchase. Once we’ve delivered your customized research, sales are final (because we’ve already done the work specific to you).
For subscription services: Here’s how cancellation and refunds work for our subscription-based services:
– To stop auto-pay or cancel your service: You must email us at support@americangrantassociation.org before your next billing cycle begins
– No refunds once a billing cycle starts: Once a billing cycle has begun and you’ve been charged and we have started work on it, we cannot provide refunds for that period—even if you cancel immediately after
– Your access continues until cycle ends: When you cancel, you’ll retain full access to our services through the end of your current paid billing cycle
– Timing is critical: To avoid being charged for the next billing cycle, your cancellation request must reach us before that cycle starts. If you email us after the new billing cycle has already begun and payment has been processed, no refund will be issued for that period
– Accidental charges after cancellation: If you submit your cancellation request before the next billing cycle begins, and you still get charged due to a processing error on our end, we will provide a full refund for that charge
For subscription services: You can cancel anytime, but we don’t offer refunds for partial months or periods already paid for. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.
Exceptional circumstances: If you’re genuinely unhappy with our service quality or we didn’t deliver what we promised, reach out to us directly at support@americangrantassociation.org. We’ll work with you to make it right, whether that’s additional research, service credits, or in some cases, a refund.
To request a refund or cancel your subscription, email us at support@americangrantassociation.org with your order number and reason for the request.

7. Disclaimers and Limitations
No Guarantee of Grant Awards
Let’s be crystal clear: using our services does not guarantee you’ll receive any grant funding. Grant awards depend on many factors completely outside our control, including:
- The competitiveness of applicant pools
- Funding availability at the time of application
- How well your application is written and presented
- Whether you meet all eligibility requirements
- Decisions made by grant review committees
We provide research, matching, and guidance—but ultimately, winning a grant depends on your application quality and the grantor’s decision.
Information Accuracy
We work hard to provide accurate, up-to-date information about grant opportunities. However:
- Grant programs can change their requirements, deadlines, or funding amounts without notice
- We rely on publicly available information from government databases and grant-making organizations
- We’re not responsible for errors in the original source materials
- Always verify grant details directly with the grant-making organization before applying
Service Availability
We strive to keep our website available 24/7, but we can’t guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control might cause temporary downtime. We’re not liable for any losses resulting from service interruptions.
Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to external resources, government grant databases, or other helpful websites. We don’t control these third-party sites and aren’t responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability.
8. Limitation of Liability
We provide our services “as is” and make no warranties, express or implied, about their fitness for a particular purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- American Grant Association is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services
- Our total liability for any claims related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for those services
- We’re not responsible for losses resulting from your inability to access our services, use of information from our services, or third-party actions

- Your continued use of our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms
We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed.
11. Cancellation and Termination
Your Right to Cancel
You can cancel subscription services anytime by contacting us directly at support@americangrantassociation.org. Your access will continue through the end of your current billing period.

- We discontinue our services entirely
If we terminate your account for violations, you won’t receive a refund for any unused services.
12. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
Informal Resolution First

Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which American Grant Association is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Arbitration Agreement
If we can’t resolve a dispute informally, you agree that any claims will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except where prohibited by law. This means:
- Either party can require arbitration for disputes
- Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator
- The arbitration decision is final and binding
- You waive your right to participate in class-action lawsuits
Small claims court remains an option for qualifying disputes.
13. General Provisions

These Terms and Conditions, along with our Privacy Policy and any specific service agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and American Grant Association.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision doesn’t constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment
You can’t transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may assign our rights and obligations to another entity if our business is acquired or merged.
Contact Information
These terms don’t create any third-party beneficiary rights or agency, partnership, or joint venture relationships.
