Grantmaking done well is harder than it looks. The organizations that do it right have clear priorities, systems that hold up under volume, and a way of measuring whether the money is actually doing what it was meant to do. We have supported grantmaking for organizations of all kinds, from global retailers investing in the communities where they operate to hospitals strengthening relationships with their community partners.
Our work has taken us across six continents, everywhere but Antarctica (though we’re game). We understand grantmaking in all its forms, and we bring that perspective to every engagement.
What we can do
Grant Program Design: We work with your team to define priorities, identify target populations and geographies, and build a grantmaking strategy that reflects your goals and holds up over time. Application and Review Systems: We design and manage the full application and review process, from how you receive submissions to how decisions get made, using technology platforms that fit your scale and workflow. Grantee Communication and Support: We develop communication strategies that keep applicants and grantees informed, set clear expectations, and reflect well on your organization at every stage of the process. Funding Deployment: We help you move money efficiently and accountably, with processes that minimize friction for grantees while maintaining the documentation your program requires. Impact Measurement and Evaluation: We build frameworks to track what your grants are producing, giving you the data you need to report to stakeholders, refine your strategy, and make the case for continued investment. Data Analysis and Dashboards: We build custom dashboards and interactive data tools that give funders a clear, ongoing view of their portfolio. Whether you are tracking outcomes across grantees, monitoring geographic reach, or pulling together data for federal or state reporting requirements, we design tools that make that work easier and the findings more useful. Program Administration: For funders who want a full-service partner, we can manage the day-to-day administration of your grant program from end to end.
