  • More intuitive for non-experts Build capacity for all grant-seeking communities by increasing their efficiency and effectiveness.

  • More efficient for grantors Reduce grantor burden by streamlining the process of publishing and managing grants.

  • More transparent and participatory for the public

    Build stakeholder trust by actively engaging the public in planning, design, implementation, and reporting.
