Problem
Nonprofit and community organizations in New Zealand often lack dedicated fundraising staff, leaving volunteers and leaders to juggle grant seeking alongside their core work. Existing funding databases only return results for what users know to search for, causing organizations to miss relevant opportunities—including international funders—and spend excessive time drafting applications in language that may not resonate with funders.
Solution
Fundsorter provides an AI-powered grant matching and application drafting platform designed for organizations across Aotearoa, from small community trusts to professional grants teams. The platform expands search beyond conventional databases to include international funders, with every opportunity verified by human reviewers to ensure accuracy and relevance. Fundsorter generates funder-friendly language that helps users articulate their work in terms funders understand, reducing the time spent on drafting and reframing applications. Users describe the platform as a fundraising assistant that small organizations cannot always afford to hire in person, enabling them to identify aligned funders and complete applications in hours rather than days.
Target Audience
Primary users are New Zealand nonprofit organizations, community trusts, charities, and social enterprises—ranging from volunteer-run groups to professional grants teams—as well as research and commercialisation entities seeking diverse funding sources.
