Intelligence that pays for itself.
Track federal funding before your competitors do.
SAM.gov is free because it shows opportunities after procurement starts. FFID is paid because it shows earmark-funded demand 12–18 months before procurement begins — before your competitors see it.

Why FFID pays for itself.
One early project opportunity typically covers the annual cost of a subscription many times over. The question isn't whether FFID pays for itself — it's how many opportunities you miss while waiting for SAM.gov.
AEC & Construction
A single early-identified infrastructure project that converts to a fee engagement typically represents 10–100× the annual cost of a subscription.
Find the project before your competitor does. →Lobbying & Gov Affairs
One client strategy meeting backed by real member data and comparable-jurisdiction benchmarks — assembled in minutes, not hours — justifies months of subscription cost.
Pull any member's 5-year history in seconds. →Grant Consultants
A client request grounded in real funded precedent has a higher win rate. A single successful placement typically represents 10–50× the annual intelligence cost.
Find comparable awards before the meeting. →Business Development
A funded prospect list in your target state and category — ready for CRM import — represents days of saved research time. Every month.
Export 50 funded recipients in under 10 minutes. →Estimate the value of one early signal.
Adjust the inputs for your market and deal size.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Founding Member offer?
20 seats at $99/month locked forever. When this offer closes the price goes to $149/month. Founding members never pay more regardless of future price increases.
What data is included?
97,000+ projects across FY2022–FY2026 — including House CPF enacted data for all five years, plus Senate CDS enacted data for FY2022–2024 and CDS requests for FY2025–2026.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. No long-term contracts for monthly plans. Annual plans are non-refundable after 30 days.
How does the CSV export limit work?
All paid plans (Founding Member, Starter, Pro) can export up to 5,000 rows per download with no monthly limit. Trial users are limited to 50 rows per export.
Does FFID cover competitive federal grants?
No. FFID is focused exclusively on congressional earmarks — House Community Project Funding (CPF) and Senate Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS). It does not cover NOFO-based competitive grants, formula grants, or contracts. Its value is in the 12–18 month lead time before earmark-funded projects reach procurement.
Where does the data come from?
FFID normalizes public data published by the House Appropriations Committee (CPF enacted lists) and the Senate Appropriations Committee (CDS enacted and requested lists). Data is ingested automatically every Monday and covers FY2022–FY2026 with enacted and requested project status.
