Awards, grants and scholarships

The awards platform built to discover, raise, run and prove.

Phoenix Raise is one platform for finding funding, raising money, running the programs it pays for, and proving the results. It is built for nonprofits, universities, foundations and federal, state and local agencies, and its AI, also called Phoenix, does the routine work so your people can make the decisions.

Money you haven't found yet.

Every US foundation from its IRS 990 filings and every open federal program, ranked against your funding profile.

Matches, best fit first

Foundations and federal programs, each with a fit rating and score, eligibility, award range, deadlines and how to reach the funder.

Phoenix Raise explains the fit

Why each match fits, what to watch out for and the next step. For the best fits, Phoenix Raise reads the funder's website for how to apply.

Every result has a source

Matches link back to Grants.gov, the IRS 990 filing or the funder's own website.

One click to act

Add a match to the pipeline, dismiss it, or open the drafted first letter.

Raise

Raise it where it gets spent.

Grants you are writing and donors you are courting, in the same system that runs the programs.

One pipeline for grants and donors

Researching, Preparing, Submitted, Won and Closed. Awards are recorded as gifts, so money is counted once.

Drafts wait for approval

Phoenix Raise writes donor emails into a queue to save, reject or approve. Nothing sends without approval.

Partners and calendars

Outside partners finish tasks from an emailed link with no account needed, and deadlines sync to Outlook, Google or Apple calendars.

Payments and next year

Grant payments are tracked and late ones flagged. Next year's application is built from this year's, with the dates moved.

Run

Run the whole program, not just the intake.

Review, awards, disbursement, compliance and closeout in one place.

A review queue that is ready

Applications arrive already summarized, with a suggested score and status flags. The committee decides.

Possible AI writing, flagged

Essays that may be AI-written are flagged for reviewers as a data point, not a verdict.

Forms, scoring and recommenders

Dynamic forms with conditional logic, automated scoring, group applications and external recommender workflows.

Awards through closeout

Batch disbursements and post-award tracking, through to compliance and closeout.

Prove

Then prove what it did.

Reports, dashboards and donor impact statements built from your own data.

Reports in plain English

Ask Phoenix Copilot for the report you need, and it builds it from your data.

Donor impact reports

Show a donor what their giving funded, by fund and year. Send it as is, or create an editable draft.

Careful sending

Donors who unsubscribed are skipped, and every send is logged.

Enterprise reporting

Program dashboards for applications, review, awards and disbursement, plus Power BI for enterprise reporting.

Phoenix AI

Awards management, rebuilt around AI.

Phoenix is the AI across the platform. It ranks opportunities, drafts thank-you notes, summarizes applications and builds reports. No agent sends a message to a donor or a funder on its own, and customer data is never used to train AI models.

Copilot

Phoenix Copilot

Ask about your programs in plain English and get answers from your live data. It shows what an action will do before it happens, and nothing is final until you confirm.

Agent

Summary Agent

Writes a plain-language overview of each applicant, so reviewers start from the essentials.

Agent

Anti-AI Agent

Flags essays that may be AI-written, sentence by sentence, for a person to weigh. The flag is never shown to applicants or treated as a score.

Agent

Reviewer Agent

Suggests answers to review questions, with its reasoning shown.

Agent

Funding Scout Agent

Refreshes funding matches each morning and drafts first letters to the top fits.

Agent

Donor Outreach and Digest

Drafts notes to lapsed donors into an approval queue, and sends the development team a weekly briefing.
