The opportunity

You can see every grant report. It's harder to see the whole picture.

Each grantee reports in its own format, on its own timeline, in its own systems. The result is a portfolio you fund deeply but can only see one slice at a time, right when the sector is moving fastest on data and AI.

Nearly all grantees want help building this capability. Funders are actively looking for the right way to provide it. The chance to fund this well, and see the results across everyone you support, is wide open.

We build the shared picture that lets you see across your portfolio, and the capability inside each organization that makes the picture real.

A different kind of grant

Funding capability changes what a grant can do.

A program grant funds the work for a year. A capability grant funds the organization's ability to do the work well, and keep doing it, long after the check clears.

See across the portfolio

A shared way to understand what's working across the organizations you fund, drawn from what they already report, grown from the real work itself.

Build capability that lasts

Real tools built inside each grantee, so the capacity stays with them. The next grant builds on it instead of starting over.

Move a cohort at once

Bring several grantees through together. What we build for one gets adapted for the group, and everyone moves faster than they could alone.

The Together packages

Move your whole ecosystem forward, together.

The same three stages a single organization moves through, commissioned across a portfolio of grantees. One shared journey, so the group builds shared language, shared tools, and shared momentum.

Built on Discover

Discover Together

A shared roadmap across your portfolio. We surface the patterns in how your grantees already work and report, and find the standard hiding inside it, so you can see the whole field clearly.

Built on Build

Build Together

A shared build cohort. Six to eight grantees each ship something real, and the tools built for one get adapted across the group. Everyone moves faster, and the cost is shared.

Built on Accelerate

Accelerate Together

Sustaining capability across the whole ecosystem at once. The work stays current, the story stays fresh, and what you funded keeps paying off.

Not sure who belongs in the cohort? Let the ecosystem tell you.

Many of the best cohorts start with one organization naming the partners they already work alongside. We can help you find the five or six grantees whose work connects, and bring them through together.
