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.

Twelve modules. One system.
Mavenly brings the full arc of grant funding — discovery and Go/No-Go screening, AI drafting and critique, pipeline and deadline management, budgets, outcomes, document readiness, and compliance reporting — into a single AI-native operating environment, designed by people who have actually run grant programs.

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, OCR-read even when scanned, 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.
Mavenly Memory & Audit Trail
Every uploaded document, narrative, program, and policy indexed into Mavenly Memory — so drafts are grounded in your own words with clickable citations back to the source passage — plus 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
Opportunities synced nightly from Grants.gov, Simpler.Grants.gov, SAM.gov, NSF, the Federal Register, SBIR/STTR, and nine state grant portals — plus a directory of 5,500+ private, community, and corporate foundations, and optional EU and UK calls — each scored 0–100 against your mission, with a plain-English explainer of why it fits and past-award history from USAspending and IRS 990 filings.
- ·Federal, state, and foundation sources, synced nightly
- ·Grant-fit explainer and past-award intel
- ·Go / No-Go screen before you commit
Proposal Drafting & AI Co-Writer

Six agents that do the work, then ask you to approve.
Most AI tools answer one question at a time. Maven's agents take a goal and work through the steps themselves — searching grants, checking eligibility, drafting sections, reviewing them, and reporting back — then show you the result. Nothing changes in your workspace until you approve it.
Daily briefing
Maven scans your deadlines, drafts, open tasks, and new matches once a day and hands you a short, ranked list of what to do next — the same summary sits on your dashboard.
- ·Up to five ranked moves
- ·Each one links straight to the work
- ·Refresh any time
Do it for me
Type a request in plain language — find youth food security grants in Texas under $100k and add the top three to my pipeline. Maven searches open grants, checks fit and eligibility, then proposes entries and reminders for you to approve.
- ·Plain-language goals
- ·Fit and eligibility checked first
- ·Nothing saved until you approve
Full draft
Every empty section of a proposal written in one pass, from your organization profile and Document Vault, with one consistent storyline. Sections over their word limit are trimmed; facts only you have are marked for you to fill in.
- ·Whole proposal in one run
- ·Word limits respected
- ·Gaps flagged, not invented
Go/No-Go research
For one target grant, Maven checks each eligibility rule against your profile, builds the submission requirements list, weighs past winners and typical award sizes, and writes a recommendation you can take to your board.
- ·Rule-by-rule eligibility
- ·Requirements inventory
- ·Written Go / No-Go memo
Reviewer loop
A simulated review panel scores the draft, Maven rewrites the weakest sections, and the panel scores it again — so you can see what changed, what it is worth, and which rewrites to keep.
- ·Score before and after
- ·Apply only the rewrites you like
- ·Uses the reviewer-panel allowance
Closeout
For submitted or awarded grants, Maven drafts the progress report from what you promised, adds the reporting deadlines, and flags the renewal date — as tasks you can accept.
- ·Report drafted from your promises
- ·Deadlines added as tasks
- ·Renewal date surfaced
Agents run inside your workspace and are logged like everything else. See how each agent works.
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.
