🌟 What a year! 🌟

Last week, a small college in Pennsylvania told us they'd discovered and won a grant on our platform to pay for new manufacturing training equipment. They explained that they'd never have found this opportunity through traditional channels.

This is exactly why we built GrantExec: to ensure every qualified organization can find and compete for funding that fuels important work.

That vision attracted an extraordinary team. Justin H. Johnson brought his engineering leadership from Disney, Capital Group, and CP+B to architect our technology foundation. Zoe Kendall, leader at Fast Co's Most Innovative Data Science Company and Webby Anthem awardee, is making our platform accessible and powerful. Kristina Alcorn, with her track record of $1B+ in awarded contracts, helped us organize our team of 27+ expert writers.

Our community grew quickly - from major government consulting firms like Cornerstone Government Affairs, Dentons, and K&L Gates to nonprofits organizations like Food for Neighbors, Black Men Vote, and the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC). Together, GrantExec customers secured over $11.5M in grant funding - our first step toward helping organizations secure $10B in grant funding over the next decade.

Here's what we built together:

1️⃣ The largest live database of grant opportunities ($305B tracked across 44,425 programs): https://www.grantexec.com/dashboard

2️⃣ GrantGPT™, your AI grant research and writing assistant: https://www.grantexec.com/grantgpt

3️⃣ Foundations Explorer, mapping 93,825+ foundations and their giving histories: https://www.grantexec.com/post/introducing-grantexec-2-0-unlocking-funding-with-the-foundations-explorer

In 2025, we're making it easier than ever for great projects to find their perfect funding matches - bridging the gap between those with resources and those doing meaningful work.

Stay tuned - we're just getting started. 🚀

Check out how Kristina Alcorn, our star Grant Services Director, works her magic with GrantGPT, helping MVP Athletics Dream Foundation secure the grants they need to keep making a difference! 🏆

1️⃣ Spot Crucial Changes Instantly:
When MVP Athletics Dream Foundation decided to apply to renew a grant, Kristina started by uploading both the previous and current year’s guidelines into GrantGPT. By comparing these documents, GrantGPT quickly highlighted any changes, such as new focus areas and additional requirements. This instant analysis ensured no key updates were missed, confirming which parts of the previous winning application could be reused—saving Kristina hours of manual work.

2️⃣ Draft with Precision:
With the guidelines in hand, Kristina then uploaded the previous year’s successful application into GrantGPT. She prompted the tool to draft the new application based on this content, aligning it with the updated guidelines. GrantGPT marked hypothetical suggestions in italics, allowing Kristina to easily identify and evaluate new additions like proposed outcomes and timelines. This process ensures the draft is not only accurate but also enhanced with fresh, impactful elements tailored to the latest requirements.

3️⃣ Perfect Before Submission:
After incorporating feedback from the MVP Athletics Dream Foundation team, Kristina ran the near-final draft through GrantGPT for one last review. This step checks the draft against the latest guidelines, ensuring every requirement is met, while also fine-tuning tone, grammar, and style. The result: a polished, fully compliant proposal that stands out to funders.

🌟 Community Spotlight: Relational Life Foundation 🌟

We're thrilled to welcome the Relational Life Foundation (RLF) to the GrantExec platform! Founded by Sarah Oswald, RLF is on a mission to nurture a culture of connection and mutual support in our increasingly isolated world.

Why RLF's work matters:

1️⃣ Addressing a National Crisis: RLF's work directly responds to the U.S. Surgeon General's declaration of loneliness as a major health epidemic. Their Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model helps people "reset and connect," recognizing the relational resources around them.

2️⃣ Pioneering Research: RLF is conducting groundbreaking studies to establish RLT as an evidence-based therapy, aiming to reach more people by integrating it into master's level programs.

3️⃣ Combating "Toxic Individualism": RLF teaches that we're part of an interconnected "emotional biosphere," moving away from hierarchical structures towards a more communal approach to relationships.

4️⃣ Affordable Support: RLF offers sliding-scale therapy and "relational boot camps," making transformative relationship skills accessible to all, regardless of financial means.

5️⃣ Holistic Approach: RLT has the potential to enhance workplace dynamics, community bonds, and overall well-being.

RLF is at an exciting growth stage, leveraging GrantExec to identify new funding opportunities for their research initiatives, community outreach programs, and sliding-scale therapy services. By diversifying their funding sources, they aim to expand their impactful programs and reach even more communities in need.
