Foundations & Funders
Foundations and funders carry a particular responsibility, which is to deploy resources where they will do the most good and then to be able to show that they did, and both of those are in part problems of information, of seeing clearly and reporting honestly. We build the digital tools that support good grant-making, which means managing the process, measuring what it achieves, and making the whole of it more transparent.
What we help with
We help with grant management, building the systems behind applications, decisions, disbursement and tracking around your own process rather than a generic one imposed from outside. We help with impact measurement, pulling together what your grantees achieve into a picture you can actually see and report with credibility. We help with transparency, making information about your funding and its results open and legible to your board, your grantees, and where appropriate the public. And we help with the grantee experience itself, building application and reporting tools that respect grantees' time rather than burying them in administration, on the principle that the burden you place on applicants is part of your impact too.
Built for the long view
Funders think in years and decades, and your tools ought to do the same, so we build for longevity and support what we build, so that the systems holding your records and your reporting do not quietly degrade over time. When you would rather own and run them yourself, our way of working helps you get there, and where data work and responsible AI can help make sense of large volumes of grantee data or reporting, we use them carefully and always in a way you can explain to a board.
Let's talk
If you are a foundation or funder with a digital problem, whether that is grant systems, impact measurement or transparency, tell us about it.
