Fundir Fundir

The intelligence layer

beneath nonprofit funding.

A modern toolkit for nonprofits

Fundir uses AI agents to centralize public filings, board networks, and program evidence into a single source your development team can query.

What Fundir does

Three engines that run on their own. Separate tabs, one shared record.

The memory
of the organization.

Automated prospecting

A cultivation list that maintains itself.

Fundir pulls the IRS disclosure corpus on release, resolves grant recipients and models payout ratio, median grant and grantee turnover. Filings are read for what a foundation gave, to whom, and whether it has room to give more.

See the prospecting pass
In-house intelligence

Ask for the metric, not the folder.

Your narratives, evaluations and readiness criteria are indexed, so a funder’s requirements are read against what you can already prove, and the assistant answers with the passage it came from.

See the data hub
Relationship network

Know who is already in your corner.

Officers and directors from every filing are matched against your board, past and present. Paths are scored by edge type and age, with the source behind each one, so a warm introduction is never lost to turnover.

Inside the workspace

Everything your team already knows, in one place. Filings, board networks and your own program evidence in one set of tools, designed to work individually or together.

Know who is already in your corner

A warm path reads top to bottom: your board, the rooms they shared, the funder at the end of it.

Document corpus

Bring the files you already have. Word documents, workbooks and drive folders come in as they are; nothing is re-keyed into a new format first.

Shared workspace

One version, open to the whole team. The institutional memory sits with the organization rather than in one staff member’s spreadsheet.

Funder capacity

See who has room to give more. Event sponsors and long-time supporters are read as funders, not just guests, so the ask is sized to what the filings support.

Requirements match

Know the fit before you write. Each opportunity arrives with its requirements read against your programs, so the first hour of work is writing, not triage.

Connections database

Every board member stays in the network. Terms end; relationships do not. Alumni remain searchable alongside where they have worked and served.

Relationship path

Paths in, not just names. When a prospect has no open application, Fundir looks for the person who can make the introduction instead.

Illustrative records · specimen names and figures

The prospecting agent

Close the loop from filing to funding.

Fundir reads foundation filings to find funders worth pursuing, and indexes your own reports and metrics so you can answer any application with what you have already documented. Both sit in one system, so every prospect is measured against what your organization can actually show.

Screened first

Fit is measured against the numbers your organization has already reported, not a self-described profile.

Ranked, not sorted

Pursue, maybe or skip. A decision to skip is as fast and as defensible as a decision to pursue.

Cited and dated

Open any claim and you land on the filing, the date and the line it came from.

Prospecting intelligence

The cultivation work that keeps getting pushed to next week.

Invitation-only funders and small family foundations rarely publish a process. Finding a way in means reading filings by hand. Fundir runs that pass continuously.

Why this, not a database

Built alongside a working development team.

Fundir is being tested alongside the development office at Chicago Youth Centers (CYC).

A short list, argued for

Ranked opportunities with the reasoning attached, so triage is not the first hour of the day.

Grounded in filings

Fit comes from what has been reported, on both sides, rather than a self-description.

Traceable to the source

Every claim opens onto the filing, the date and the line it came from.

Built for a small team

One person can run it and the rest of the organization still sees the work.
