Discover
"Find funders for foster-care youth in California."
Kindora searches 9.5M+ grant records, funder websites, and open opportunities — institutional funders and the individual donors already near your work — and returns ranked matches with the reasoning behind each one.
Scored matches, with the why
Decide
"Why is this foundation a fit — and who do we know there?"
Deep funder research in one ask: what they fund, who decides, what a realistic request looks like, and whether anyone on your board or staff already knows someone inside.
Intel Briefs and warm paths in
Act
"Draft my LOI for the Stuart Foundation."
Drafts grounded in what that specific funder cares about, outreach in your own voice, pitch rehearsal before the meeting, and a pipeline that keeps your active opportunities in view through to a decision.
Applications, outreach, and asks — you approve every send

Built inside a small nonprofit, and tested on its own fundraising.
Outdoorithm Collective is a small family-camping nonprofit in Oakland, run by Kindora's founder and his wife. It is the organization Kindora was built for, and its first user.
Kindora narrowed thousands of funders to a short list worth pursuing and laid out how to approach each one, then found who in the organization's own network could give or open a door. Outdoorithm did the asking, both times.
74 applications, from 2,400 possible funders narrowed to 180 worth pursuing
Every dollar traceable to a named person — personal gifts, donor-advised funds, employer matches, and budget released by someone they knew
“Having this level of precision from day one has been transformative.”
Kindora processed over 2,400 potential matches and narrowed it down to 180 high-potential funders. The intel briefs told us exactly how to approach each one. We've submitted 74 grant applications and won over $100,000 in funding.

About these stories: Outdoorithm's numbers are shown here because they are the most fully tracked on the platform, start to finish. Some organizations were invited to share with the opportunity for free exposure on Kindora. No one was paid or required to be positive. Results reflect each organization's own tracked outcomes and aren't a promise of what your organization will experience.
Kindora does the busywork. You make every decision.

See where our information comes fromEvery grant comes down to two questions
Now that AI writes applications, funders report volumes doubling or tripling, and some have stopped taking them.
- Step 1
First: who is out there?
You can't ask a funder you can't find. Most foundations decide who they will fund before anyone gets to apply, and the public record lands 12 to 18 months late.
- Step 2
Then: can they trust you?
Then you need a way in. Major giving runs through relationship networks segregated by race, class, and geography, which many community-rooted leaders were never invited into.
Kindora is built for both: seeing the money first, then being seen and trusted.
Funder volumes: Civil Society (UK), September 2026.
Built by people who've been on both sides of the table.
