Quillify

Winning funding is an organization problem

The organizations that lose grants do not lose on merit. They lose to scattered documents, a deadline in somebody’s inbox, a requirement discovered in the last week, and institutional knowledge that lives in one person’s head. Quillify organizes the whole effort once, and everything downstream gets better because of it.

Describe your organization once, in about a minute. Put your documents in one place. From then on the search knows who you are, eligibility is answered from your real profile, proposals draft from your own material, and every requirement lands on a list your whole team works from. Customers have won $6.5M this way, and you can look up who funded each of them.

Why organization compounds

Every tool in this category sells a database and a writer. What decides whether you win is the connective tissue between them, and that is what Quillify actually is. Because your profile is organized, the 19,000+ funders open to applications are filtered to the ones open to you. Because your documents are organized, a draft carries your programs, your budgets and your evaluation data instead of a template’s. Because your pipeline is organized, Lil’ Q knows what you are pursuing, what is due and what you promised last time, and writes against all of it.

Organization is also why the second application is faster than the first, and the tenth is faster than the second. One customer wrote themselves into 26 separate proposals at, in their words, a few minutes of additional effort each. That story, with the number.

The two features people buy

  • Know who will actually fund you

    Seven in ten private foundations never read an unsolicited proposal. We publish which ones will, then "Am I qualified?" reads the real announcement and tells you where you stand before you commit a month. This is where the weeks go, and where they stop going.

  • The proposal, written from your documents

    Full drafts in your own material and your own voice, revisions that edit only the sections you name, a compliance checklist your team works from together, and a grade against the announcement before you send. An SBIR takes our clients about five hours, start to submitted.

Working alongside them

Running a cohort, a portfolio or a fund? The sponsor view is its own product for a different chair: progress across every member organization, while their work stays their own.

A small team, amplified

Grant work in most organizations is one person carrying it alongside three other jobs. Quillify is built so that person performs like a department, and so a real team performs like a bigger one.

Checklist rows assign to teammates and tick off together, with everyone seeing the same list. An eligibility verdict is answered once and the whole team re-opens it free. One calendar carries every deadline with its lead time. Plans carry up to five seats, and every seat sees the same organized picture: what is being pursued, what is due, what was won. How the tracking works.

That is what multi-project work looks like when it is organized: many applications, many deadlines, many hands, one system. The funding track record holds what you asked for and what happened, across every project, which is the record you want open the next time you write to the same funder.

Get organized once. Then go win.
