Funders and partners spend most of their relationship on data preparation — not on the work itself. Funding Protocol removes the burden from both sides so you can get to what actually matters: building together, with shared goals and real clarity.
Setup happens once. The cycle continues. Click any stage.
A potential partner org came up in conversation. You have an intro call in three days. You'll spend an hour on their website, skim a 990 on ProPublica, and walk in hoping your questions land.
You'll spend 48 hours preparing a deck that may miss entirely. You don't know their priorities, their deal size, their portfolio thesis. You're pitching blind.
You requested standard information from eight potential partners. You received PDFs, Excel files, Google Docs, and narrative essays. None of them answer the same questions. You can't compare any of them.
You're reporting the same underlying data to 12 different funders, each of whom has a unique format, timeline, and set of questions. You have two people doing all of development.
In writing. In the same system. With a counterfactual adjustment built in by default. The terms are custom. The protocol is always the same.
The Funding Protocol Dashboard updates continuously as partner data sources sync. Both parties see the same plan vs. actual — in real time. Not after the quarter closes.
Eventbrite syncs after every event. The 990 auto-pulls when filed. Google Sheets updates as you track internally. You don't do anything differently — the data just flows to all funders at once.
You asked for a quarterly update. The partner prepared a deck — their version of what happened, in their format, with the metrics they chose. You'll ask questions and chase follow-up data over email for the next two weeks.
You have quarterly check-ins with 12 funders. Each wants a slightly different format. You spend 3 hours per deck — 36 hours a quarter — just preparing for meetings that should be conversations.
The Funding Review Room lets your committee pre-vote on renewals two weeks before the live meeting. Renew, conditions, more info, decline — async. Routine renewals are resolved before anyone sits down.
For the first time, you have visibility into where you stand before the decision is made. The Funding Score, peer benchmarks, AI recommendation — all visible. No surprises. No verdicts.
