Grantlytics: Nonprofit Grant Management Tool

Karen introduced a new product called Grantlytics, developed by Harvard graduates Abdi and Kedar, which helps nonprofit organizations find and manage grants. Abdi explained the product's development, highlighting its ability to streamline the grant discovery process and provide personalized grant recommendations. Kedar demonstrated the three main components of Grantlytics: grant discovery, grant writing, and pipeline management. The product is exclusively available to Together SE members and offers a 20% discount as a benefit.

Grant Discovery Platform Demo

Kedaar demonstrated Grantlytics, a platform for grant discovery, writing, and management, to Dan, who represents an organization focused on children with cancer in North and South Carolina. They conducted a search for funding opportunities, focusing on private foundations and corporate giving, and found 18 relevant matches. Kedaar explained how the platform uses user profiles to tailor searches and improve discoverability of relevant grants. He also showed how users can customize their search criteria and exclude unwanted funders.

Grant Application Tool Demo

Kedaar demonstrated a grant application tool that generates proposals based on organization details and funder requirements, explaining how it streamlines the process by reusing information across applications. Karen clarified that the product is no longer in beta but is a live subscription service, and Abdirahman noted that feedback from users will guide future developments to address additional grant application needs. Karen and Ashley raised concerns about outdated information and the importance of keeping data current, emphasizing the need for organizations to regularly update their websites to ensure accurate information for the tool's AI functionality.

Grantlytics Grant-Finding Tool Introduction

The meeting focused on introducing a new grant-finding tool, Grantlytics, to Together SC members. Karen and the Grantlytics team demonstrated the platform's capabilities, including searching for relevant grants, creating profiles, and managing deadlines. They addressed questions about the tool's functionality, pricing, and availability outside of South Carolina. The team emphasized that the tool is designed for small nonprofits without dedicated grant writers, offering a 20% discount to Together SC members. They also discussed the possibility of using AI to develop grant applications, noting that while some funders may be wary of AI-generated content, it is generally accepted. The conversation ended with information on how to sign up for the tool and upcoming follow-up sessions in January.
