Reviewing your matches
Sorting, filtering, and what each piece of a match row tells you.
Updated 5/14/2026
My Matches is the list of funding opportunities the system has connected to your profile. Each row shows the fit, the sponsor and title, the deadline, and a set of quick actions.
Sorting
The sort control at the top of the list offers three orders:
- Match — best fit first (default).
- Deadline — soonest deadline first.
- Funding — largest funding amount first.
Filtering
- Fit — limit to higher-fit matches when you only want to see the strongest results.
- Pursuit status — show only matches where you've signaled interest, marked Not a Fit, or not yet responded.
New match indicator
Matches added since your last visit are flagged with a "New" pill. The banner at the top lets you mark them all as seen at once.
What's on a match row
- Fit — the overall alignment between you and the opportunity. See How fit scores are calculated for what feeds it.
- Deadline badge — color-coded by urgency. See Deadline badges.
- Reasons — short icon-mapped tags that explain what aligned and what didn't (topic match, eligibility, prior funding, and so on).
- Actions — expand for the full opportunity, signal interest, mark Not a Fit, save, share with a colleague, or request help.
Deep links
When you open a match from email or the inbox, the page scrolls to that match and expands it automatically so you land directly on the detail.
Locked Not-a-Fit matches
Marking a match Not a Fit removes it from My Matches but preserves your response in All Opportunities. Your decision overrides future re-scoring of that opportunity for you.
