Decision support for nonprofits

Should this foundation get your staff time?

Research the funder before prospect momentum takes over. The advisor checks public guidance, structured grant records, tax filings, access, and your constraints before research, cultivation, relationship-building, and proposal time accumulate. A traceable no is a useful result.

Put a real prospect under pressure

The tool needs enough detail to find hard mismatches. Your profile stays in this browser only if you choose to save it.

Foundation

A website or EIN improves identity matching. The legal entity must be confirmed before the tool can recommend pursuit.

Foundation name Official website Foundation EIN

Your nonprofit

Describe the organization you actually are and the work you can defend. Broad aspiration creates false matches.

Legal name Nonprofit EIN Mission and program model Program areas Populations served Current and intended geographies Annual organizational budget Tax status Organization structure Evidence you can substantiate

Funding need and boundaries

The advisor compares this specific need with current guidance and observed grants. It does not match on mission keywords alone.

What would this foundation fund? Minimum viable request Maximum useful request Restrictions you will not accept

Access and staff time

Public co-occurrence does not prove a relationship. Record only a path your team has actually confirmed.

Relationship position Known path or relationship note A warm or current relationship requires a named route. The tool treats this as your claim, not public proof.

Research may take up to three minutes.

Public sources and Kindora records can be stale or incomplete. You remain responsible for the decision.

No hidden fit score

A hard mismatch stays a hard mismatch.

Several weak positives cannot cancel explicit ineligibility. The research engine gathers evidence. Fixed application rules make the final decision.

Decline

A sourced hard gate fails

Stop active research, cultivation, and proposal work. The report records the reason and what would justify reopening.

Park

Fit is plausible, access or evidence is not

Do not start active pursuit. Record a concrete trigger such as an open call, newer grants, or a confirmed warm path.

Pursue

Eligibility, evidence, and access support a bounded step

Proceed only within the staff-time ceiling you supplied. Resolve named gaps before proposal work expands.

Human check

Identity or source coverage is unresolved

The tool refuses to invent certainty when it cannot verify the entity, filing, eligibility, or material contradictions.

Human boundary

The advisor cannot know your private relationships or make your strategy.

It does not contact funders, draft outreach, submit proposals, predict a win, or certify public claims as current. It gives your team an inspectable record for a decision you still own.
