How it works

From grant discovery to application-ready in minutes.

01

We scan and filter

We curate funding opportunities and remove everything irrelevant, too competitive, or unrealistic for Africa-based organisations. You only see what fits.

02

Every grant gets a recommendation

YES, MAYBE, or NO — based on fit, effort, and competitiveness. No more opening 40-page PDFs to find out you are ineligible on page 14.

03

You get practical decision support

Exact requirements, hidden constraints reviewers look for, strategic insight on what wins, and step-by-step next actions — like the one below. Everything before you write a word.
