Complex Funding Programs Should Not Depend on Disconnected Tools

RQ Platform brings the application, review, decision, communication, and follow-up process into one configurable environment.
Built for Foundation Program Administrators
Give every funding program the structure it needs while reducing manual coordination for staff, reviewers, committees, applicants, and grantees.

Identify incomplete applications, missing budgets, references, fiscal sponsor details, due diligence materials, agreements, and overdue grantee reports before deadlines pass.
Multi-fund intake
Manage grants, scholarships, fellowships, community funds, awards, and special funding initiatives with different forms, eligibility requirements, timelines, review stages, and committees.
Grant committee review
Provide reviewers with applicant packets, budgets, supporting materials, scoring rubrics, comments, conflict declarations, recommendations, and decision information in one secure workspace.
Eligibility and routing
Route applications based on fund, focus area, geography, applicant type, request amount, fiscal status, eligibility criteria, reviewer expertise, or approval stage.
Role-based access
Control what program officers, administrators, external reviewers, committee members, board members, finance staff, applicants, partners, and grantees can view or manage.
Grantmaking dashboards
See application volume, eligibility status, reviewer workload, funding recommendations, committee readiness, decisions, reporting requirements, and impact follow-up across programs.
Targeted communications
Send confirmations, missing-item reminders, reviewer notifications, status updates, funding decisions, reporting requests, and grantee next steps without manual inbox tracking.
Connected program data
Keep applicant, reviewer, grantee, funding, reporting, payment milestone, and outcome data aligned with the foundation’s established workflows and supported systems.
