About
Reinventing the way nonprofits request funding from foundations, corporations and individuals.
BeKintu modifies existing dating application technology to revolutionize the way nonprofits request funding from multiple foundations, corporations and individuals.
Think Tinder for nonprofits – matchmaking that is fast and easy.
STEP ONE
Nonprofits answer one comprehensive set of industry-standard questions at the beginning of the calendar year.
Foundations, corporations and individuals (“Funders”) complete one simple online checklist of required information that provides the data they would otherwise request in their usual grant application process.
STEP TWO
BeKintu uses industry-standard criteria (such as location, focus area, funding type, population, etc.) to trigger “matches” and send customized letters and proposals to the funders.
