A year of grant applications. Three weeks of asking people they already knew.
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 — which is why both halves of its fundraising are documented here.
Institutions and individuals are different problems. Kindora narrowed thousands of funders to a short list worth pursuing and laid out how to approach each one. The same method, pointed at people instead of institutions, found who among the org's own network could give and who could 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: Its 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.
Finding the money is only half the problem
Two things stand between a community-rooted organization and the funding it deserves. They happen in order, and most tools only help with the first.
First, you have to see it
You cannot ask someone you cannot find. Donor-advised funds disclose no donors. Most foundations decide who they will fund before anyone gets to apply. And the public record lands 12 to 18 months late, describing a year that is already over.
Then you have to reach it
Suppose every fund and foundation stood in plain view tomorrow. You would still need a way in. Major giving concentrates in relationship networks — networks segregated by race, class, and geography that many community-rooted leaders were never invited into.
Kindora is built for both. Seeing is where we start. Reaching is the point.
One partner, from prospect to ask
Say what you're trying to do, in plain language. Kindora returns structured, sourced results — ready to edit, approve, or take over manually.

"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.

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.
