Ringo finds grants that fit your mission, writes the first draft from your charity's own facts, and reminds you before every deadline. It also answers your phone 24/7 for donors, volunteers and donation pickups.
A flat monthly fee. Never a cut of your grants. You keep every dollar you win.
I'm Bob Hanson. I've spent more than 20 years in IT, and I built Ringo Grants & Charities because small charities do big work with almost no staff. Ringo finds the grants, checks the rules, does the math and writes the first draft, and it answers your phone while you're out doing the work. I set it up with you, and I'm a phone call away.
Small charities leave money on the table because nobody has time to find grants, check the rules or write the application. Ringo does the searching, the checking, the math and the first draft. Your team reviews it and hits submit.
Search private foundations in all 50 states from IRS 990 data, with how much each one gave last year. That's where most small-charity money comes from.
Ringo searches Grants.gov every week and scores each match for fit. Weak matches are left out.
Upload the funder's guidelines or RFP (PDF, Word or text). Ringo writes to their length limits and answers their own questions.
Every rule in the guidelines, checked against your profile: met, not met, or "your profile doesn't say." No generic "you might qualify."
Ringo does the math (line totals, indirect, other sources, amount requested) and writes the budget justification. AI never makes up a number.
Full proposals, 1–3 page applications and letters of inquiry, because most foundation asks are short.
Save your approved answers once (history, board, evaluation) and reuse them in every application.
Look up a charity like yours and see its filings and funders, so you know who to ask next.
An owner on every grant, team comments and a board-review step before anything goes out.
Emails 14, 7 and 2 days before each deadline. Every grant shows when it was last checked, and grants you skip stay hidden.
Payment schedules, multi-year installments, deliverables and funder reports, with reminders before each one.
Grants and payments to CSV for QuickBooks or Salesforce. Your data stays yours.
🗺 Every state, plus corporate giving. Community-foundation locator, state grant programs, and corporate programs like Walmart, Home Depot, Target and State Farm, all linked inside the app.
💵 No commissions, ever. A flat monthly fee, never a percentage of what you win, as grant-writing ethics standards require.
Many charities pay for a funder database, a separate tracker and a separate AI writer, and often thousands a year with an annual contract. Ringo puts them together, month to month.
From $99/month, month to month. No annual lock-in.
Funder research, eligibility, drafting, budget, tracking and post-award, plus your phones.
Bob sets it up with you in person or on a call. No weeks-long learning curve.
Drafts use only your facts. Missing facts are marked [ADD] so you never submit something made up.
“When is the pantry open?” “Do you take couches?” Answered on the first ring, in English and Spanish.
Books pickups and drop-offs into your own calendar, inside the times you set.
Signs up callers who want to help and books them into open volunteer shifts.
Sends callers a link to your own donation page. Ringo never takes card numbers over the phone.
Puts the calls you choose straight through to staff.
No donor details, transcripts or recordings. Only volunteers who sign up are saved, so you can schedule them.
Robocalls and sales pitches are ended politely and never billed.
Your dashboard on iPhone and Android, with logins for staff and board members.
Your own volunteer sign-up link for your website, posts and flyers. People pick an open shift.
Add shifts with spots, weekly repeats and locations. See who's on each one.
Callers who want to help are signed up and booked into a shift by Ringo, 24/7.
A confirmation right away and a reminder the day before every shift, by email. Text reminders for volunteers who opt in are coming soon.
Eligible nonprofits can get free Google search ads. On Full Growth, we apply and keep the account active for you.
A month of event, drive and volunteer posts from your photos, on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Google. Nothing posts without your OK. Add the Marketing Crew to any plan, or get it with Full Growth.
Short videos for drives and events, made in the app.
A clean one-page site with your donate and volunteer buttons, built for you on Full Growth.
AI grant tools run from about $29 to over $1,000 a month, and a grant writer often charges thousands per proposal. Ringo bundles grant help with a 24/7 phone answerer for less. Extra call minutes are $0.20.
Short videos made from your event, drive and volunteer photos and clips, a monthly content calendar with captions in your voice, posting to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Google, Google Business Profile updates, a promo banner on your website, comment replies you approve and a monthly marketing report. Nothing posts without your OK. Launch offer: setup $99.50 through March 31, 2027. Included in Full Growth. What it does →
Month to month, no cancellation fees, never a percentage of grants won. Prices in US dollars. Ringo drafts applications; it does not guarantee awards. Plans were set after comparing published 2026 prices for AI grant tools and AI receptionists.
Posting your videos to your own pages and sharing them in local Facebook groups is free, and we help with both. Paid ads show your video to people nearby who don't follow you yet. You set a daily limit, the ad sites never charge more, and you can stop anytime. Ad money goes straight to Facebook/Instagram or Google on your own card and is separate from your plan. Every plan includes a planner that shows these numbers for your budget.
| Ad budget | Daily | Monthly | People reached | Donors and volunteers who reach out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter One ad in your ZIP codes. Good for testing. | $10/day | $304/mo | 9,100–19,800 | 5–12 |
| Steady Most pick this Your best video plus a reminder to people who watched it. | $20/day | $608/mo | 18,200–39,500 | 10–24 |
| Busy season Three ads, a bigger area or YouTube in your busy months. | $35/day | $1,064/mo | 31,900–69,200 | 18–43 |
Estimates for local ads, not a promise. Results depend on your video, offer, area and season. One new donor from an ad often pays for the month.
No. Ringo finds and drafts; a person on your team reviews, edits and submits from your own account on the funder's site. That keeps you in control and in good standing with funders.
Ringo writes only from the facts in your charity profile. Where a fact is missing, it writes [ADD: …] instead of guessing. You should still check every number before you submit.
Never. Commission-based grant writing is considered unethical, and many funders don't allow it. You pay a flat monthly fee.
Ringo searches Grants.gov, the federal grant database, every week. For foundation, corporate, state and local grants, add them in the app and Ringo drafts them the same way. The app also lists good places to look in Colorado and North Texas.
Both. Ringo searches Grants.gov every week, and the foundation finder searches private foundations in all 50 states from IRS 990 filings. You can also add any state, local or corporate grant yourself and Ringo will check your eligibility and draft it.
Book a setup call and Bob will show you Ringo working on one of your real grants before you pay anything. Plans are month to month with no cancellation fee.
No. Ringo doesn't store donor details, call transcripts or recordings, and it never takes card numbers. Donations go through your own donation page. The only people saved are volunteers who sign up, so you can schedule and remind them, and you can export or delete them anytime.
Yes. Ringo introduces itself as your charity's AI assistant, and callers can ask for a person anytime.
Tell us about your charity. Bob will call to talk about your grants and phones, then set Ringo up with your details.
