What Plinth reads in a foundation’s own filings
- The Skillman Foundation
Which grantees come back — and how much of every dollar the returning ones take
- The Barr Foundation
Where a Boston funder's money actually lands, by county rather than by mailing address
- Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation
A Sarasota family foundation's portfolio, and the comparable organizations it hasn't funded
Every figure comes from public IRS filings and links back to the return it came from. Yours is in there too — look your foundation up.
Plinth has run live grant programs in the UK since 2018, for 60+ funders moving £200M+ a year. Plinth US works with US foundations — grant management, AI due diligence on IRS Form 990 filings, and funding portfolio intelligence — built on that operating experience and the public US funding graph.

The complete grant management process.
Not just AI — a full grant management system covering every step from application intake through to impact reporting and exports.
Build better application forms.
Import your existing forms as PDFs or Word docs and we automatically convert them into smart, structured applications. AI guides applicants as they write — checking eligibility in real time and helping them give you the information you actually need.
- Import existing forms in minutes — no rebuilding
- AI-guided eligibility checking for applicants
- Works on mobile and desktop — accessible for all
Automated due diligence — thorough, not superficial.
AI reads applications, downloads and analyzes financial accounts, scans uploaded policies for concerns, and cross-references against the register that governs the applicant — Charity Commission and Companies House in the UK, IRS Form 990 filings in the US, and 49 more countries. Every check is logged and auditable.
- Register verification in 51 countries
- Financial analysis from PDF accounts
- Policy scanning — safeguarding, governance, insurance
- News and reputational risk flagging
Assessment & scoring that works for your team.
AI reads applications and extracts evidence against your specific assessment criteria. Your assessors review the highlighted evidence and make the final call — supported by data, not replaced by it. Collaborative scoring dashboards let multiple assessors work together with full transparency.
- AI extracts evidence against your criteria
- Collaborative scoring dashboard for panels
- One assessor per fund instead of 3-5
Personalized feedback for every applicant.
Whether successful or not, every applicant deserves useful feedback. AI drafts specific, constructive feedback based on the actual application — not a generic template. Review and send in minutes.
- AI-drafted personalized feedback
- Review and edit before sending
- Builds stronger relationships with applicants
Monitor delivery against the original plan.
Track how grantees deliver against their original applications. AI compares progress reports to application goals, automatically flagging underspend, timeline slippage, or deviation from planned activities. Payment schedules tied to milestones.
- AI comparison of reports vs. original application
- Payment scheduling tied to milestones
- Automatic flagging of concerns
