How Can We Help?

SciRise is a capital intelligence platform for mission-driven funding. SciRise CapitalGraph connects foundation, federal, and global development funding records and resolves them to the same 1.5M organizations. On top of that data, SciRise ranks likely funders, identifies true peers, maps funding landscapes, and produces source-linked diligence and benchmarks.

Nonprofit strategy consulting firms are SciRise's primary users, producing landscape analyses, funding strategies, and diligence for their clients. SciRise also serves nonprofits with growth goals and an analyst on staff (typically $5M+ in revenue), impact investors, and foundations.

Grant tools help you find open opportunities and manage applications. SciRise is the strategy layer before them: it ranks which funders are worth the relationship, based on who they actually fund rather than what they say they fund, and tests those rankings against real funding outcomes. Many teams use both. See How SciRise Is Different →

General AI tools work from websites and stated missions, so they tend to return the same well-known funders for every organization. They also can't reliably read every field of a long 990 or match the many ways one recipient is named across filings. SciRise uses AI only as an analysis layer on top of its resolved data, so every figure traces back to a filing, award, or record.

No. SciRise supplies the evidence base; your team supplies the judgment, the strategy, and the client relationship. Consulting firms use SciRise to spend less time assembling data and more time on the work clients pay for.

Public, authoritative sources: IRS Form 990 and 990-PF filings, federal award and contract records (USAspending), global development funding reported through IATI, and audit, disclosure, and related-organization data. SciRise resolves these into 15M grants, awards, and contracts across 1.5M organizations. See our data →

Coverage is current as of August 2026. Foundation and nonprofit data follow IRS filing schedules, which run 12 to 24 months behind; the latest complete tax year is 2024, with 2025 filings loading as they're released. Federal award data is refreshed at least quarterly.

Every private foundation distributing $1M or more a year, among 19,000+ grantmaking entities (foundations and grantmaking nonprofits). Corporate foundations are included; direct giving from companies is not. Foundations giving less than $1M a year aren't covered yet.

Yes. SciRise tracks grants paid out by DAF sponsors, including community foundations and hybrid sponsors, at the transaction level, and separates those flows from direct-funder analytics. Contributions from individual donors into DAF accounts aren't public, so they aren't included.

Not yet. Federal grants and contracts are included; state and local funding is on the roadmap.

The global development layer (622,000 aid activities and 10M transactions) is strongest for funders in the U.S., EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and thinner for the Middle East, China, and India, where reporting is limited.

• IRS filings lag 12 to 24 months.
• Funding is mapped to the filing organization, so money reaching country offices or affiliates through intermediaries may not appear.
• Some grant purposes are generic, so their topic or geography can't always be confirmed.
• Individual donors' gifts into DAFs aren't public.
• Foundations giving less than $1M a year aren't covered yet.

FunderRank ranks funders by who they actually fund, not what they say they fund, because stated focus turned out to be one of the weakest predictors SciRise tested.

Checked against a year the model never saw, FunderRank's top 10 included a real new funder for 39% of organizations, more than 10 times the strongest mission-matching approach tested (p < 0.0001). The test used nonprofits with three or more existing funders, two years of training data, and one holdout year, replicated across three test windows. It's a strong, evidence-based shortlist, not a guarantee. See the validation →

Because they fund organizations like yours. A funder's website may describe one focus while its grants show another; a foundation that says it funds New York, for example, may give steadily in California. Each prospect shows the peer organizations it already funds, so you can see why it ranks.

Peers are organizations that share your funders, not just your category code. Size and other filters narrow the set further. If you know your field differently, SciRise can adjust your peer set as a customization.

FunderRank also identifies expansion candidates: funders that back organizations similar to yours, even where you share no funders yet. That helps an organization enter a funding network it isn't already part of.

Foundation mapping, peer benchmarking, due diligence, and prospect briefs on the web platform, plus foundation analysis, state expansion prospects, and funding landscapes in Claude. Each template runs on any organization or field.

Yes, in Claude. The Landscape scope and Funding landscape templates define a field's boundaries, then map the covered funders, organizations, intermediaries, and federal programs in it, with trends over time and every figure linked to its source. Coverage limits are listed under "What are the data's known limitations?"

Both use the same data. The web platform offers 4 deliverable templates plus deep dives on any foundation or nonprofit. SciRise in Claude offers 8 templates and about 80 analysis components, and lets you ask questions in plain language.

SciRise in Claude is included in a SciRise subscription and requires your own paid Claude plan. After you sign up, SciRise sends an account link, grants your access, and shares a short setup guide for connecting SciRise to Claude. Other AI assistants, such as Copilot and ChatGPT, aren't supported yet.

Yes. Results from both the platform and Claude export to Word or Excel, ready for your own templates and client decks.

Yes. Subscriptions of three months or more can add custom templates and components built around your work. SciRise also produces custom reports; request one and you'll receive a quote within 2 business days.

Yes. Subscriptions are set up by seat, and additional seats can be added as your team grows.
