Design partners · Early access

We're building Grantel with nonprofits, not at them.

Grantel is pre-launch. We're onboarding a small cohort of design partners - foundations, NGOs, and program teams - to shape the product before wider release. If you'd like to be one of them, read on.

Who it's built for

Built for the teams holding it together.

Grantel is designed for small and mid-sized nonprofits where one person often wears four hats - fundraising, programs, reporting, and ops. If any of these sound like your team, we'd love to talk.

The partnership
A 30-day rollout, shaped around your team - not a sales cycle.

Design partners get hands-on onboarding, a direct line to the founding team, and a real voice in what we build next. In return, we ask for honest feedback and a willingness to let us learn alongside you.

Live & feedback loop

You use it for real work. We iterate weekly.

What partners use it for

Four jobs Grantel is ready for today.

These aren't hypothetical - they're the workflows we've built, tested internally, and are ready to run with partner organisations.

FundraisingLeads

Tracking a funder pipeline end-to-end.

From first research on a prospective funder, through LOI and proposal, to signed agreement. No more "which spreadsheet was that in?"
