How it works

Three calm steps

  1. 01

    Tell it about your work

    Share your mission, location, and the size of gift you're seeking. It learns your programs, your voice, and your numbers once, then keeps them close.

  2. 02

    Ask for what you need

    Ask for a brief on a foundation or a list of local corporate funders. Plain words are fine; no prompts to master.

  3. 03

    Review, then share

    A sourced brief: what they fund, how much, and how to approach them. Nothing goes out until you've read it and made it yours.
