§ Foundation Edition
For foundations, donor-advised funds, and corporate philanthropy programs. Mavenly for Grantmakers handles intake, evaluation, portfolio management, and impact measurement — purpose-built for the funder side of the table, with the same AI infrastructure underneath.
Configurable application forms, AI-assisted triage, automatic eligibility screening, and a unified queue that surfaces what your program officers should look at first. The 60% of incoming applications that don't fit your priorities never reach a human reviewer.
Build the application form your program needs — by program area, by funding cycle, by eligibility tier — using a visual builder. No developer required. Different programs can have different forms, all flowing into the same intake queue.
Live · All tiersEvery incoming application is scored 0–100 against your program's stated priorities, eligibility requirements, and historical funding patterns. The score isn't a verdict — it's a sort order, surfacing the applications most worth a program officer's first look.
Live · All tiers501(c)(3) verification via IRS Pub 78, geography matching, financial health checks via 990 review, sanctions list screening — all run automatically before an application reaches your queue. Ineligible applicants get clear, kind decline notices the same day.
Live · All tiersOne intake portal, multiple program areas. An applicant uploads once; Mavenly routes to the right program officer based on the program area selected, the geography served, the requested amount, and the priorities matched.
Live · All tiersUpload an applicant's 990, board list, or program reports — Mavenly extracts the relevant fields automatically. The data appears in your application record without anyone retyping it. Every extraction is sourced and reviewable.
Live · All tiersAcknowledgments, status updates, follow-up requests, and decline notices — all configurable, all sent automatically at the right cycle stage. Your applicants always know where they stand. Your program officers never write the same email twice.
Live · All tiersCustom rubrics, structured scoring, AI-assisted analysis grounded in the application itself, and audit-traceable decision records. The board's first question — "why did we fund this and not that?" — has a substantive answer for every grant.
The application includes 2024–25 program data for 1,840 students across 12 schools, with quantified gains in two subject areas. The data is consistent with the program model described in §3 and with the budget narrative's per-student cost figure of $206.
Recommended score: 16/20. Strong empirical evidence with one outstanding question on instrument selection.
Build the rubric your foundation actually uses — weighted criteria, scoring scales, mandatory vs. advisory dimensions. Different programs can have different rubrics. The rubric becomes a structured object that drives every evaluation downstream.
Live · All tiersMavenly's evaluation notes are grounded in the application itself — every claim is tied to a specific section of the applicant's submission. The AI flags strengths, gaps, and follow-up questions. Reviewers see the source quote next to the synthesis.
Live · All tiersAssign applications to multiple reviewers, track scoring independently, surface variance for committee discussion. Reviewers see only what they need to see — Mavenly handles the routing and the consolidation automatically.
Live · All tiersOptional blind-review modes hide applicant identity and demographic information until scoring is complete. Reviewer dashboards surface scoring patterns that may indicate bias, with comparative benchmarks across the program portfolio.
Live · All tiersOne-click generation of board-ready decision memos for every grant. Committee deliberations, scoring rationales, and program officer recommendations are synthesized into the format your trustees expect — with full traceability to the source application.
Live · All tiersEvery evaluation step is logged: who scored what, when, with what comments, against which rubric version. Three years from now, when an auditor or board member asks "why did we fund this," the answer is one query away.
Live · All tiersDisbursement schedules, reporting milestones, grantee health, renewal cycles — all in one place. Program officers see what needs their attention this week. Trustees see what's working across the portfolio.
Multi-year, milestone-tied, or tranche-based disbursements — all tracked automatically. Mavenly surfaces upcoming disbursements 30 days in advance and integrates with your accounting system to push approved payments.
Live · All tiersEvery grant has its own reporting requirements — interim reports, final reports, financial actuals, outcomes data. Mavenly tracks them all and surfaces what's coming due, what's overdue, and what's been received.
Live · All tiersA clean, branded portal where grantees submit reports, request modifications, and communicate with your team. No more email-chain reporting. Every interaction lives in the grant record automatically.
Live · All tiersWhen a grantee's reported outcomes diverge significantly from their committed targets, Mavenly flags the variance for program officer review — not as judgment, but as a signal to engage with the grantee and understand what's happening.
Live · All tiersSurfaces renewal opportunities 90 days before the cycle ends, with the prior period's outcomes and any program officer notes pre-loaded. Renewals become a deliberate decision, not a default — or a missed opportunity.
Live · All tiersNo-cost extensions, budget reallocations, scope changes — all handled within the grant record with proper approval workflows and audit trail. The original commitment letter remains intact; modifications are tracked separately.
Live · All tiersWhat did your foundation accomplish this year? Mavenly synthesizes outcomes across your entire portfolio — by program area, by geography, by population served — and produces the narrative your trustees, donors, and the public deserve.
Aggregate outcomes across all active grantees automatically. By program area, by geography, by population served, by funding cycle. The numbers your trustees ask about — generated in seconds, traceable to source.

Live · Standard+A clean, branded dashboard your trustees can access between board meetings to see portfolio-level health, recent decisions, and outcomes-to-date. Read-only by default, with optional commenting workflows for board engagement.
Live · Standard+Mavenly assembles the grant data your foundation needs for Form 990-PF — recipients, amounts, purposes, payment schedules — in the IRS-ready format. Your tax preparer's job goes from a week to an afternoon.
Live · Standard+Optional anonymized benchmarking against peer foundations — average grant size, decision cycle time, conversion rates, portfolio composition. See how your foundation compares without compromising any individual grantee's privacy.
