## Genuine Good Grants / Genuine Good Grants API

Genuine Good Grants API is an independent paid API for current U.S. federal grant discovery using Grants.gov public records. It is not affiliated with Grants.gov or any U.S. agency. Results are discovery aids, not eligibility determinations, award promises, legal advice, or government endorsements. The shortlist preflight applies deterministic rule-based checks to each retrieved notice. Its applicant-type result reports listed-code intersection only; it does not predict eligibility or awards.

This product uses the Grants.gov API but is not endorsed or certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
