Learn about the funding gap

How it works

Three steps from application to impact.

Step 1

Apply once

Fill out one short common grant application instead of rewriting the same answers for every funder.

Step 2

Get matched

We match you with giving circles, philanthropists and foundations based on social issue, geography, impact and values.

Step 3

Grow together

Funders get transparency. Grantees get support from application through implementation with 90 day plans.

For nonprofits

One short application puts your work in front of funders who share your values, plus real support once the check arrives.

For funders

Reach community-based organizations that are often overlooked, and see progress through clear 90 day plans.

Built on trust-based philanthropy.

We believe the people closest to the issues know best. mintlink follows a trust-based approach: fewer hoops, shared power, honest relationships and funding that lets organizations lead.
