Foundations & Philanthropy
Private, family, and corporate foundations, DAF sponsors, and arts funders, including the spend-down foundations moving fast because they're closing for good. Know who else has already committed before your board approves the grant, without ranking a single grantee.
We Build Models forFunding Networks
To Route Resources (Capital, Partnerships, & Information) more Efficiently
Map the Network
- 990-PF grant lists and Schedule I regrants
- Candid and Foundation Directory records
- Board and officer overlap
- Spend-down timelines and remaining corpus
- Who else already committed
Find the Gaps
- Grantees funded thrice, gaps funded never
- Board approvals made blind
- Spend-downs closing with no successor
- Rapid-response funds landing on top of each other
- Sponsored projects no search returns
Close the Gaps
- Show the board the other commitments
- Route the grant to the uncovered
- Pair the spend-down with a successor
- Coordinate the region's bridge funds
- 1Siloed information — a foundation's pipeline is private until the 990 posts, two years late
- 2Complexity exceeds bandwidth — one program officer, a whole field
- 3Incentives reward fragmentation — funders differentiate rather than converge
- 4Trust doesn't scale — grants follow relationships, not coverage
- 5Self-oriented entities — each foundation optimizes its portfolio, not the field
