    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who is SciRise for?

    SciRise is a capital-intelligence platform for the people who move and steward mission capital: impact investors, philanthropy and nonprofit consultants, nonprofit and university leaders, and foundations. It shows who funds what, where capital concentrates, and how organizations are financed.

    What can I do with SciRise?

    Analyze the funding landscape around any cause or field, trace how money moves between funders and recipients, benchmark an organization against its peers, and build funding-strategy and due-diligence work, all grounded in the underlying grant record.

    Where does your data come from, and how current is it?

    Every figure traces back to IRS Form 990 and 990-PF filings. We resolve entities across filings, remove intermediaries and flow-throughs, and validate patterns across multiple years, so results reflect real giving behavior rather than self-reported directories. Data is refreshed as new filings become available.

    How is this different from keyword search or a foundation directory?

    Directories and keyword tools match on what a funder says about itself. SciRise reads revealed behavior: who a funder actually backs, and who its recipients share funders with. On held-out historical grants, that network signal was roughly 13x more effective than keyword and semantic search at identifying real future funders.
