July 21, 2019 Launched with Peak Grantmaking

We officially launched with Peak Grantmaking, which is great. Peak Grantmaking provided lots of additional support for Dahna and I, including some additional funding after I finished my fellowship with New America to add some additional features like templating.

July 1, 2018 Finished the New America Fellowship

I finished up an awesome fellowship period with New America. The team at the Public Interest Technology fellowship all worked on different paths. My focus ended up being social entrepreneurship and the Net Grant Calculator was a software expression of a core failing that we saw: applying for grants that ended up being a net loss.

October 1, 2017 Started sketching out the idea

Dahna and I started sketching out the Grant Calc idea, initially as a part time project while I was doing additional research. She built out an incredible excel prototype of the baseline calculations, and I sketched out the overall interface and user flow.

About

I was a fellow at the New America foundation, and a friend and colleague there had the idea. We spent some time working on it, and then got grant funding to finish the project from Peak Grantmaking.
