Sequoia groves survive because their roots are intertwined. We're building the same thing for giving — connections where nonprofits and donors make each other stronger.

The journey
From mission
to funding — made visible.

One initiative profile becomes the foundation for grant applications, donor pitches, and marketplace listings. Build it once, use it everywhere.

1
Tell your story clearly
Our guided profile builder walks you through defining goals, budget, timeline, and impact metrics — creating a structured document that works for grants and donors alike. No grant writer needed.
2
Apply for grants with AI assistance
Upload a grant's requirements and get fit analysis, gap flagging, and a tailored draft generated from your existing profile. Free tier includes 2–3 assisted applications per month.
3
Get discovered by the right donors
When your profile hits our readiness threshold, one click publishes it to the donor marketplace — where people browse by cause, location, and funding size.
4
Show donors what their gift did
Share milestone updates and progress reports directly through the platform. Donors see real impact — not just a thank-you email — which drives repeat giving.
For nonprofits
Your initiative does
the heavy lifting.
Stop rewriting the same proposal for every funder. Build one great initiative profile and let it work across grants, donor outreach, and the marketplace — all from one place.
