Drowning in grant
applications?
Grantmaker keeps your team focused on the decisions that matter, by automating and streamlining grant management for charitable funders.
Make the funding decisions that create lasting impact.
Grantmaker handles everything that stands between you and the decisions that matter, so your team can focus on the relationships, judgement, and strategy that only they can bring.
Spend time only on charities that advance your mission
Grantmaker eliminates the time-consuming task of sifting through ineligible applications, a problem that will only intensify as AI makes it easier for charities to apply automatically.
Give every funding decision a consistent, objective footing
Grantmaker scores every application against your criteria, doing the objective work consistently and at scale. Your team makes the decision, bringing the experience and context that a score alone can't capture.
See the red flags before you commit the funding
Grantmaker checks each application against the risks that matter to you, from governance and finances to what the news and social media reveal. Every risk is rated and explained, so your team can evaluate them before committing the funding.
Review, discuss, and decide together, and on the record
Grantmaker brings reviews, notes, and comments into one place, so your whole panel works from the same information and every decision leaves a clear, auditable trail.
Fund more of what matters with the budget you have
Grantmaker finds the best way to allocate your budget for maximum impact. It balances every budget constraint - themes, financial years, capital and revenue split - against the demands of each application, then proposes a plan for you to review and adjust.
Don't miss the best partners just because they didn't apply
Grantmaker looks across the whole charitable landscape (including newer, overlooked, and grassroots organisations), not just those that happen to apply, so you can find the partners that truly align with your mission.
The Grantmaker Way.
Set the standard
Your setup is a conversation with Grantmaker's AI. Together you define the eligibility criteria, scoring rubric, risk factors, and application form, then refine as the first submissions arrive.
Grantmaker gets to work
As soon as an application arrives, Grantmaker checks eligibility, scores it, and assesses risk automatically. Promising organisations that didn't apply are surfaced too. You get back a ranked shortlist, ready to review.
Your decision
Grantmaker gives your panel everything they need to review the shortlist together. Discuss the evidence, annotate applications, and reach a decision everyone can stand behind, all in one shared workspace.
