Hello, Windfall
A short intro to the Windfall blog. Practical grant playbooks land here soon.

Welcome to the Windfall blog.
We started Windfall because navigating US grants is genuinely hard for small businesses and nonprofits — the acronyms alone are a maze (SAM.gov, UEI, 501(c)(3), NOFO, SBIR, MBDA). This blog is where we'll publish the practical playbooks we wish we'd had.
What to expect
- Step-by-step registration guides (SAM.gov, DUNS/UEI, 501(c)(3), SBA certifications)
- Federal grant basics — reading a NOFO, matching funds, cost-share rules
- Founder notes on what's actually working for small SMBs applying to grants
The first real post ships next.
Founder of Windfall. Spent the past two years building software for US small businesses and nonprofits navigating the federal, state, and private grant landscape — from Grants.gov and SAM.gov registrations through NOFO triage, application drafting, and post-award compliance. Previously built and scaled quarvo.io. Windfall's catalog now covers 3,100+ active grants synced daily; its Readiness OS framework and Bitácora Corporativa template are used by SMBs and consultants across the US and Latin America.
