Grant Radar & Proposals: Find the calls that fit before anyone spends two weeks writing.
New calls go up on dozens of donor and procurement sites each week.
Deadlines get missed. The team spends a fortnight on a call it was never eligible for, and halfway through, it still isn’t clear who is writing the budget.

How it works
From the call to the signed grant.
- The radar watches funder and procurement portals and files every new call.
- Obvious mismatches are discarded automatically; your AI agent reads the rest against your track record and gives a fit score, a verdict and why.
- Promote the good ones into the proposal pipeline, with the folder created and the briefing carried over.
- Follow each application to signature. Checklist, writing window, review, follow-ups; a won proposal becomes a project.

With your AI agent
One question can cross several modules.
The funding lead decides which calls move to the proposal board.
- A question
- “Can we answer the Halden education call in Mopti, and who would staff it?”

Before you book a demo.
Which funder portals does the radar watch?
A roster of 200+ funder and procurement portals, each with a tier and an access state. The roster also suggests sources worth promoting or demoting, and the terms of reference, annexes and forms are gathered with each call.
When a call needs a consortium partner, how do we know?
The call carries a “needs a partner” flag on the radar. Q&A deadlines raise their own alert, and calls closing in under 7 days are marked not viable, 7 to 14 days urgent.
Can we start with Grant Radar & Proposals alone?
Yes. Each organisation starts with the base, then picks its modules. You can start with one and add others later.
Can we switch a module off later?
You can, and its data is kept. A module switched off disappears from menus and search, and switching it back on restores it.
Can you import from our spreadsheets and current tools?
Yes: people, projects, budgets, policies, files (including a one-time import or a live two-way sync with Google Drive), and the content of your existing workbooks. Connectors to your other systems are built as part of the project.
