01The problem

The grant ecosystem moves billions through email and spreadsheets.

A documentary stand-in: the way grants work today — paper, email, spreadsheets.
IMG.LANDING.PROBLEM

Despite hundreds of billions in concessional capital flowing each year, discovery still happens through conferences and rolodexes; proposals arrive via email; reports live in Word documents; and matchmaking depends on who knows whom in which capital.

Smaller and locally-rooted organisations remain invisible to most international donors. Proposal review happens in spreadsheets. And learnings rarely flow back into the next funding cycle.

02Six pillars, one platform

Origination through dissemination — without leaving the platform.

I.

Discovery & Profiles

Public profiles, donor pages, hierarchical taxonomies for theme and geography, semantic search.

II.

RFP Lifecycle

Structured RFP builder, EOIs, concept notes, full proposals, reviewer panels, scoring, award.

III.

Open Proposals

Bottom-up funding channel. Orgs publish proposals; multiple donors stack commitments toward full funding.

IV.

AI Matching

Bidirectional ranking — RFP→Org and Org→RFP. Every match arrives with an explanation.

V.

Execution & Reporting

Grant Workspace with deliverables, indicator tracking, structured routine reports, closure workflow.

VI.

Showcase & Dissemination

Long-form blogs, media galleries, downloadable artefacts, results pages co-branded with donors.

03AI matching, with explanation

Every match comes with reasoning.

Opaque rankings undermine donor trust and create regulatory risk in procurement. Fundroid's matching engine returns explainable signals on every result — thematic fit, geographic overlap, track record, capacity, verification.
