What Makes Us Different

Want another learning curve? We didn’t think so. And that is why Grant Advance takes an entirely different approach to grant writing. By integrating our training with the research and grant writing processes we help you get started right away. We show you who you should apply to, how much you should ask for, and then provide automated assistance to prepare and merge all your documents for a seamless and simple solution to any of your grant funding needs. 

The story of Grant Advance is a story that begins with a young executive director struggling to secure grant funding for their organization. If you’re a director or board member in your current organization, you are probably far too familiar with just how difficult it can be. But back when this all started, it was tougher. In efforts to find potential funders, we had decided that the grant funding process was too complex. It needed improvement, and it needed to be improved dramatically. 

When the initial team met together to design our system, we gathered a group of people that had experience and knowledge, not just with technology, but with running non-profits and with fundraising. They became excited about the opportunity to invest their experience in developing a software solution specifically for grant funding. At this time, it was decided that it would be the team members that had served on the front lines that would drive the design and development of our software.

By putting themselves back in the position of their “inexperienced” selves, our founding members asked the simple question, “what would I have needed back then in order to be successful?”. It was an exciting challenge. It meant that every screen design, every button, and every function of the system had to be there for a very practical reason. If it did not make things easier, quicker, and more efficient, then it was back to the drawing board.

Since launching in 2014, Grant Advance has never left the drawing board. As much as we wish we could say otherwise, we understand that our systems are never perfect. No matter how big or how small, there is always room for improvement. We listen to the most pressing issues facing our clients and look for practical solutions to these real problems. It has been a fun and worthwhile pursuit that animates our entire team to continue to strive for excellence.

Success is hard to measure—so we let our clients do it for us. Our Google reviews tell the story, and what we’re most proud of is that nearly every review highlights our customer support and service. That’s no accident. From day one, we’ve prioritized not just delivering cutting-edge technology, but also providing personal, committed, and uncompromising support to the charities we partner with. At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: “Your Success is Our Success.” And based on what our clients are saying, we’re proud to say—we’re doing our job.

  • Grant Advance has been a huge success for us. In our first year, we raised over half a million dollars. It hasn’t been without hard work, but your software makes the process so much easier. From the ability to search similar organizations and relevant keywords, to using a templated letter with mail merge for names, addresses, and suggested asks—it has streamlined the entire process. We truly appreciate Grant Advance’s software; it has been invaluable to our organization.

  • Since I started using the platform back in August, I’ve received over $93,000 in grants from foundations I applied to. The fantastic thing about Grant Advance is that it gives you access to so many family foundations you wouldn’t even know existed—many don’t even have an online presence. It’s been incredibly helpful to discover more opportunities, and the platform makes the entire process super easy
