Introducing Our Partner – OpenGrants

Opengrants

OpenGrants is a venture-backed startup that provides a grant search engine and expert marketplace for non-profit organizations, foundations, startups, and government agencies who are looking for grant funding. Their mission is to simplify the grant search and application process and increase efficiency and transparency in the granting industry.

One of the key features of the OpenGrants platform is its ability to facilitate AI-powered grant matches to enable a searchless experience for grant seekers. This is important because of how challenging the grant search process can be due to the varied names and descriptions of grant programs.

OpenGrants has also recently added several new features to its platform. That includes an advanced search functionality that enables organizations to search for grants based on specific criteria such as funding level, geographic location, and grant type. They have also launched automated billing for the grant writer marketplace.

 

OpenGrants is run by an experienced and passionate team of entrepreneurs and technologists. We believe that, if done right, a business can be an effective catalyst for lasting change. Our past experiences exposed major challenges with grant funding, so we’re building the tools and community to solve them. Our mission—build modern infrastructure for public funding to massively improve the efficiency and equity of those funds—is what drives us every day. The team includes Sedale Turbovsky, founder and CEO; Cody Hanson, co-founder and COO; and Pachia Cha, co-founder and full stack developer. OpenGrants leverages FYC to scale up its technical talent as needed, and has secured FYC founder Justin Fortier as a fractional CTO.

With their recent updates and features, OpenGrants is continuing to improve and innovate in the grant-making space, making it easier for organizations to do good in the world.
