The operating system for grant funding.
Mavenly helps mission-driven organizations discover, draft, manage, and report on grants with AI-native intelligence purpose-built for the work — not retrofitted from generic SaaS.
Built with design partners across
philanthropy and higher education
Grant teams spend more time chasing dollars than deploying them.
For nonprofits and foundations, grants represent 30 to 70 percent of total revenue — and yet the tooling has barely changed in twenty years. Teams stitch together spreadsheets, generic CRMs, and AI tools never built for the specific demands of mission-driven funding.
Spent on administration
Average percentage of grant-officer time spent on application drafting, compliance reporting, and pipeline tracking — instead of relationship-building or program design.

In missed funding
Estimated annual U.S. grant funding that goes uncaptured because mission-aligned organizations lack the capacity to discover, draft, and submit competitive proposals.

Four workflows. One system.
Mavenly brings the four core workflows of grant funding — discovery, drafting, pipeline management, and compliance reporting — into a single AI-native operating environment, designed by people who have actually run grant programs.
Discover
Match your organization's mission, geography, capacity, and history against thousands of active funding opportunities — automatically scored and ranked for fit.
- ·Federal, foundation, and corporate sources

Draft
Compose application drafts with an AI grant writer trained on your prior submissions, your theory of change, and the specific evaluation rubric of each funder.
- ·Funder-specific tone calibration
- ·Theory of change synthesis
- ·Budget narrative generation
- ·Reviewer-perspective revision
Manage
Run your pipeline with the visibility of a sales team — every active grant, every stakeholder, every milestone, every dollar — in one dashboard built for the work.
- ·Pipeline forecasting
- ·Stakeholder tracking
- ·Workflow automation
- ·Executive reporting
Built for the specifics of grant work.
Generic AI tools require constant context-setting. Mavenly knows what an LOI is. It knows the difference between a 990-PF and a 990-N. It treats theory of change, logic models, and evaluation frameworks as first-class concepts.
Funder Intelligence
Real-time profiles of every active funder — recent giving patterns, board composition, program officer history, and average award size — synthesized into actionable strategy briefs.
Compose AI
An AI writing partner that learns your organization's voice, ingests your prior winning applications, and drafts new proposals against the specific evaluation rubric of each opportunity.
Pipeline Forecasting
Probability-weighted revenue forecasts for every active grant in your pipeline. Know what's actually likely to land before your board meeting — not after.
Compliance Reporter
Automated quarterly and annual reporting against the specific compliance framework of each funder — pulled from real outcomes, not summarized from spreadsheets.
Stakeholder CRM
Purpose-built relationship management for grants — program officers, foundation trustees, government contacts, and corporate philanthropy leads, with full institutional memory.
Document Vault
Every funder-required document — 990s, audits, determination letters, insurance — classified on upload, key fields extracted, versions approved, and expiries flagged before they block a submission.
Budgets & Outcomes
Award-level budgets with burn analysis and approval policy, plus indicators, targets, and period entries that turn into interim and evaluation reports without a spreadsheet round-trip.
Memory & Audit Trail
Your organization's profile, programs, narratives, and policies held as living context for every draft — with a tamper-evident, hash-chained activity log of everything that happened to it.
Foundation Edition
For grantmaking organizations: opportunity intake, due diligence acceleration, board memo generation, and post-award outcome tracking — designed alongside foundation operating teams.
Everything a grant team does, in twelve modules.
Mavenly is not a chatbot bolted onto a spreadsheet. Each module handles a distinct stage of the funding lifecycle, and they share one data model — so a grant you discover on Monday carries its funder, deadline, proposal, documents, budget, tasks, and report with it all the way to award and renewal.
Grant Discovery & AI Matching
Every open opportunity scored 0–100 against your mission, geography, budget band, and grant history — with a plain-English rationale for why each one fits.
- ·Eligibility-aware feed
- ·Match score with rationale
- ·One-click save to pipeline
Proposal Drafting & AI Co-Writer
A section-based editor that drafts in your organization's voice, grounded in your prior submissions and the funder's rubric — then critiques its own work before you send it.
- ·Streaming section drafts
- ·Readiness critique 0–100
- ·DOCX and PDF export
Pipeline & Application Management
Prospect to awarded on one board. Drag stages, assign owners, track requested amounts, and see pipeline value, win rate, and submissions at a glance.
- ·Kanban and table views
- ·Owner and amount tracking
- ·Maven pipeline-health flags
Deadlines & Compliance
Tasks generated automatically from each grant deadline and every extracted requirement, with a checklist you clear before an application can be marked submitted.

The 990s, audits, determination letters, insurance certificates, and board policies funders ask for — classified on upload, with key fields extracted and versions approved before they go out.
- ·AI classification & extraction
- ·Draft / Final / Superseded versions

Built with the teams already running on it.
Two anchor organizations shaped Mavenly from the first sprint. Named case studies publish as each organization completes its first full funding cycle on the platform.
One view of every institutional pursuit, replacing the four spreadsheets an advancement team used to reconcile by hand.
Discovery surfaces funders a small team would never have found, and the co-writer puts a first draft in front of them the same day.
We've spent twenty years digitizing transactions in philanthropy. Mavenly is the first platform actually built for the work itself — not the paperwork around it.
Whether you seek grants or award them.
Mavenly ships in two editions purpose-built for the two sides of the funding relationship — sharing one underlying intelligence layer and a common data model for true funder-grantee collaboration.
