We’re Grantbook, a strategic consultancy with expertise at the intersection of technology and philanthropy. We believe philanthropy, at its heart, is about people. This isn't a new idea—after all, the word literally means “love of humankind.” And yet we’ve seen time and time again: the way the philanthropic sector operates hasn’t always been particularly kind to its humans. 

We get it. The focus has long been on outcomes: families fed, kids educated, communities uplifted. Impact is important. Critical, in fact. But what about the other links in the chain of good? What about the process by which that impact happens, and the people who make it all possible? 

We’re here for those people. For you. We serve changemakers at grantmaking organizations like yours, so you can better serve the organizations and initiatives you fund. With over hundreds of grantmaker engagements under our belt, we’ve noticed some patterns. Inspiring foundations with uninspired operations. Archaic frankensystems. Burned out teams, deeply committed to the cause but buckling under the weight of too much work and wasted effort. Operations that are inelegant, ineffective, and inefficient. 

The common denominator: philanthropy’s status quo isn’t serving changemakers. That’s why we do. 

The good news? Many in philanthropy have signaled that they’ve had enough of the old ways and are moving towards new approaches to world-changing that better align with the world we actually live in. It promises to be a seismic shift in a sector long overdue for one. We couldn’t be more delighted to be part of it. 

And as the sector redefines how it does good, Grantbook is here to do the same for you and your team. We’re plugged into what’s happening in philanthropy today and will partner with you to make sense of how the latest principles and practices might work within your organization, plus the tools and technology your team needs to turn ideas into action. 

Our team of philanthropy nerds will help you navigate all your options, optimizing your operations with simpler, smarter, more streamlined systems. In other words, we’ll help make your organization’s ‘how’ less burdensome, so your people can feel more connected to your ‘why’. Because isn’t that the reason we’re all there in the first place?

At the end of the day, choosing to work with us is about much more than implementing new systems, processes or technology. It’s about investing in your people, so they can maximize their potential to lead daring change. It’s about game-changing change-making that works better for everyone in the chain of good. And feels better too.
