How is SciRise different?
The data and analytics layer
beneath the grant tools.
Grant tools find open opportunities and run the grant workflow. SciRise prioritizes where to spend time and relationship capital.
Application workflow and funding strategy are different jobs.
Grant tools help you apply. SciRise helps you decide which funders are worth the relationship.

What the graph answers.
The questions funding teams ask before they write a single application.
Funder prediction
Who is most likely to start giving to us.
Peer benchmarking
How we compare to organizations funded like us.
Intermediary flows
Who funds our field through DAFs and regranters.
Landscape mapping
Where capital concentrates in a mission or state.
Used together
SciRise decides where to spend relationship capital. Once the targets are set, grant tools do what they do best: surface the open calls for those funders and run the application workflow.
Side by side, capability by capability.
Grant tools and SciRise do different work. Here is where each one fits.

FunderRank: Prediction, Not Description
FunderRank predicts who your next funder is likely to be. Instead of matching on what funders say they support, it reads what they actually do: the co-funding and peer network signals in the public grant record.
In validation testing, for nonprofits that added a new funder, SciRise placed at least one new funder in its top 10 31% of the time, more than 10x the top-10 hit rate of the strongest tested mission-alignment baseline.
31%
Top-10 hit rate
For nonprofits that added a new funder, at least one new funder was in the FunderRank top 10.
>10x
The best tested baseline
Versus the top-10 hit rate of the strongest tested mission-alignment baseline.
Trained on multi-year IRS 990/990-PF filings, tested on a later holdout year never seen in training, replicated across test windows. Repeat grants excluded, so the model must predict funders new to the organization. FunderRank prediction algorithm patent pending.

CapitalGraph: One Connected Map of Mission-Driven Capital
Foundation giving, federal funding, and international aid are recorded in separate systems that were never built to connect. SciRise resolves them to the same organizations, so one map shows who funds what, through whom, across a mission. Across U.S. sources, that map holds 1.6M organizations and 18M grants, awards, and contracts, with a global aid layer on top.
