§ Capabilities
What Mavenly actually does, examined in detail. The twelve live modules are documented below in eight chapters — Discover, Compose, Pipeline, Reporter, Vault, Outcomes & Budget, Signals, and Memory & Governance — each covering a specific phase of grant work, all sharing the same Funder Intelligence and Organization Memory layers underneath.
A discovery engine that ranks funders by fit, not by keyword. Type your mission once. See the 12 funders worth your time, ranked by probability of award.
Every funder in our universe is scored 0–100 against your organization's mission, geography, and capacity profile. The score reflects fit, not popularity — a 92 means a high probability of award if you apply, not a high-profile funder.
Live · All tiersFunders who haven't made a new grant in 18+ months are deprioritized regardless of stated priorities. We score on actual giving patterns, not just published guidelines, because that's what predicts award likelihood.
Live · All tiersA $400K-budget nonprofit shouldn't be matched against a funder whose smallest recent grant was $5M. Mavenly knows your capacity from your profile and filters opportunities accordingly — no more wasted hours on out-of-range grants.
Live · All tiersOne unified search across the three universes that matter. Mavenly ingests and de-duplicates federal opportunities nightly from Grants.gov, SAM.gov, the National Science Foundation, and the Federal Register, alongside our foundation database and corporate philanthropy programs — so you stop switching tabs between Foundant, Candid, and four government portals.
Live · Builder & upClick into any funder to see board composition, recent program officer changes, current giving trends, and the language patterns of recently-funded proposals. Everything an experienced grant strategist would research, in one place.
Live · Operator & upForward an RFP from your inbox to add@mavenly.ai and we'll parse it, add it to your private funder database, and score it against your mission. Same for calendar invites and PDF downloads from agency sites.
Live · Builder & upBefore you commit forty hours, run a structured screen on eligibility, programmatic fit, staff capacity, match and cost-share exposure, reporting burden, and compliance risk. Knockout answers stop the process cold; everything else produces a weighted score and a written recommendation you can take to your ED or board.
Live · All tiersUEI, SAM.gov registration status and expiration, EBiz POC, Login.gov accounts, and Grants.gov roles (AOR, Workspace Manager, Expanded AOR) tracked in one panel — with submission blocked and flagged when a registration is lapsed or an AOR is missing, instead of discovered the night of the deadline.
Live · All tiersCompose AI starts where ChatGPT can't: it knows your prior winning applications, your theory of change, the funder's evaluation rubric, and the rhetorical patterns of recently-funded proposals. The draft you get sounds like you, not like generic AI.
Compose ingests your prior winning applications, annual reports, and program docs. Drafts sound like your organization writing — same vocabulary, same rhythm, same voice — not like a generic AI describing your organization.
Live · Builder & upEvery section of your draft is mapped to the funder's published evaluation criteria. The rubric tag in the editor shows which criterion the current section addresses, so reviewers won't have to guess what they're scoring.
Live · Builder & upCompose constructs logic models and outcomes frameworks from your program data — not from a generic template. The theory it produces reflects your organization's actual model of impact, with the language calibrated to the funder.
Live · Operator & up"Reviewer mode" runs the funder's published rubric over your draft and surfaces sections likely to score poorly — the way an experienced program officer would. Comments are inline and actionable, not abstract suggestions.
Live · Operator & upUpload a spreadsheet or paste a budget table. Compose produces the narrative that justifies each line item, anticipates reviewer objections, and aligns line items to program design — the section that takes most teams six hours, in fifteen minutes.
Live · Operator & upInstitution-tier customers can opt into a private fine-tune that learns from their corpus over time. The fine-tuned model is private to your organization, not shared, and never used to train Mavenly's general models.
Q3 2026 · InstitutionProbability-weighted, stage-based, updated continuously. The board hears a number that's actually defensible. The CFO can plan against it. The executive director knows exactly what to escalate.
Revenue projections grounded in your organization's actual historical conversion rates, by funder, by stage, by amount band. Not a hand-wave. The number you give your CFO is the same number Mavenly would defend to your auditor.
Live · All tiersEvery interaction with every program officer, automatically captured. Email threads, meeting notes, board cycle awareness, last-touched timestamps. Surfaces the right context at the right moment.
Live · Builder & upDeadline reminders, board-cycle alignment, approval routing. The Tuesday-afternoon coordination work that someone always forgets is now systematic. Mavenly handles the calendaring; your team handles the writing.
Live · Builder & upPipeline reports your board will actually read — generated in 60 seconds, exported to PDF or PowerPoint, with the visualizations and narrative your trustees expect from a serious development operation.
Live · Operator & upRun separate pipelines for distinct programs, funds, or campaigns — each with its own forecast, conversion benchmarks, and reporting. Critical for organizations with multiple program areas or restricted funds.
Live · Operator & upEvery awarded grant has a renewal cycle. Mavenly tracks them all and surfaces renewal opportunities 90 days before the cycle, with the previous report's outcomes pre-loaded so the renewal pitch is ready when you are.
Live · All tiersThe Saturday-afternoon report-writing tax goes to zero. Reporter pulls program data directly into the funder's exact framework, drafts the narrative as a synthesis, and validates against the published reporting requirements before submission.
Each funder's reporting framework is maintained as a structured object, not a generic template. The exact sections, exact metrics, exact attachment formats — all encoded so your report meets the funder's specific requirements automatically.
Live · Operator & upPulls program outcomes directly from your data sources — Salesforce, spreadsheets, custom databases, or Mavenly's own beneficiary tracking. The spreadsheet round-trip that takes most teams a full day is now a single click.
Live · Operator & upBefore submission, Reporter validates against the funder's published requirements: required sections present, word counts within range, all metrics reported, attachments complete. The submission gets a green light from Mavenly before it gets sent to the funder.
Live · Operator & upReporter highlights the data points most likely to influence the funder's renewal decision — cohort comparisons, trend lines, narrative hooks the funder responded to in prior reports — so the renewal pitch writes itself.
Live · Operator & upFor programs that report to multiple funders, Reporter generates the cross-funder roll-up automatically. One outcomes dataset, multiple funder-specific reports, no manual reconciliation across spreadsheets.
Live · InstitutionEvery number in every report is traceable to its source — the spreadsheet row, the survey response, the database query that produced it. When auditors or board members ask "where does this come from," the answer is one click away.
Live · Operator & upThe Document Vault holds the 990s, audits, determination letters, insurance certificates, and board rosters that stall applications at 11pm. Mavenly classifies each upload, extracts the fields, and tells you what's missing before a funder does.
Governance, financial, compliance, program, and insurance categories ship configured out of the box — with custom categories and tags for the documents unique to your organization.
Live · Builder & upDrop in an audited financial statement or an IRS Form 990 and Mavenly identifies the document type and pulls the structured fields — fiscal year, total revenue, program expense ratio, auditor opinion — so they're searchable and verifiable.
Live · Builder & upEvery version is Draft, Final, or Superseded, with required approvers and a full history. The version a funder receives is always the one your board signed off on.
Live · Operator & upA live gap analysis against what funders typically require. Expiring insurance, a stale audit, or a missing conflict-of-interest policy is flagged weeks before it blocks a submission.
Live · Builder & upShare a document with a program officer through a tokenized link instead of an email attachment — access is scoped, expiring, and recorded in the activity log.
Live · Operator & upCompose and the application checklist pull directly from the Vault, so the correct current version is attached automatically rather than re-hunted through Drive folders.
Live · Builder & upAward-level budgets with real burn analysis, and an outcomes tracker with indicators, targets, and period entries. When the report comes due, the numbers are already there — traceable to the line item and the data entry that produced them.
Line items, committed spend, and actuals against each awarded grant, with variance and burn-rate signals that tell you months in advance whether a fund will underspend.
Live · Operator & upSet thresholds that require justification or admin approval, and caps that block over-spend outright. Overrides are possible for owners and admins — and always recorded with a written reason.
Live · Operator & upDefine output and outcome indicators with units, value types, and targets. Funder-required indicators can be locked so their wording and targets survive contact with a busy quarter.
Live · Operator & upGenerate the interim or final evaluation report from your real indicator data, exported to PDF or Word in the structure the funder expects.
Live · Operator & upBring period results in from a spreadsheet, push them out to your evaluator or data warehouse. No manual re-keying between the program team and the development team.
Live · Operator & upAttach receipts and supporting documentation to any expense, so a funder audit or a single-audit request is answered from the record rather than reconstructed.
Live · Operator & upSave the criteria that define a good opportunity for you, and Mavenly monitors continuously — routing each match to the right channel, the right teammate, and never during quiet hours.
Criteria across focus area, geography, amount band, funder type, and deadline window, each with its own feed of new matches and the rationale behind them.
Live · Builder & upChoose which channels — in-app, email, Slack — and which teammates receive each search's alerts. A federal-only search can page the grants lead while a corporate search stays quiet.
Live · Builder & upNothing arrives at 2am. Set quiet windows and choose real-time, daily, or weekly digests, with a preview of exactly what the digest will look like before you commit.
Live · Builder & upEvery deadline, report due date, and compliance task on one calendar, with T-14 / 7 / 1 reminders and export to your own calendar client.
Live · All tiersOne ranked panel of what to do next, each recommendation backed by confidence scoring and citations to the underlying signals — and completable in one click.
Live · All tiersSee which saved searches actually produce applications and awards, so the monitoring you keep is the monitoring that earns its place.
Live · Operator & upOrganization Memory is the profile, programs, narratives, and policies Maven reasons from. The Activity Log is the tamper-evident record of everything that happened to it. Together they are what survives staff turnover.
Identity, EIN, determination details, budget bands, programs, and leadership held once and reused everywhere — with a completeness score that shows what's still missing.
Live · All tiersApproved mission statements, need statements, and program descriptions, versioned and searchable, with a record of where each block has already been used.
Live · Builder & upAdmins lock EIN, legal name, and the IRS determination date. Attempted changes are blocked at the database and written to the activity log.
Live · Operator & upDecide which parts of your organization memory Maven may reason from. Sensitive governance or personnel context can be excluded from AI entirely.
Live · Operator & upAppend-only, hash-chained records of every consequential action, streamed in real time, with saved views by section, actor, result, and flag status — and CSV export for auditors.
Live · All tiersRegistrations, certifications, and insurance tracked against expiry dates, with role-based alerts before a lapse turns into an ineligible application.
Live · Builder & up§ Underneath the modules
Three layers shared across Discover, Compose, Pipeline, and Reporter — the integrations that connect Mavenly to your stack, the security posture that meets enterprise procurement, and the AI infrastructure that powers everything.
One-click connectors to the tools nonprofits actually use — not just enterprise CRMs but the messy stack of spreadsheets, Google Drive folders, and email systems where most program data actually lives.
Mavenly is engineered to meet the procurement requirements of enterprise foundations and higher-ed institutions. SOC 2 Type II is in flight; security documentation is available under NDA today.
Powered by Anthropic's Claude with zero-data-retention API endpoints. Your prompts and responses never leave your private context, never train any AI model, and never become part of any other customer's experience.
§ Live opportunities
Discover ranks these federal opportunities against your mission, geography, and capacity. Each opportunity has a public page with the funder, deadline, award range, and eligibility.
