One platform. Application to impact. Fully auditable.

Sound familiar?

Community grant programmes are often run on spreadsheets, email threads, and good intentions. There's a better way.

Applications arrive by email

Word documents, PDFs, and web forms all landing in different inboxes. No single view of your pipeline.

Due diligence takes weeks

Manually checking Charity Commission records, Companies House filings, and financial accounts for every applicant.

Payment tracking is manual

Spreadsheets tracking what’s been paid, what’s outstanding, and which grants have conditions attached.

Chasing grantee reports

Endless email reminders for end-of-grant reports. When they arrive, the data is inconsistent and hard to aggregate.

Board reports take days

Pulling together pipeline summaries, spend tracking, and outcome data from multiple sources for every board meeting.

No audit trail

Panel decisions captured in meeting notes that nobody can find. No clear record of who approved what and why.

Your grant pipeline, at a glance.

See every application from submission to completion. AI scores and risk-flags applications so your panel can focus on the decisions that matter.
