Community funding that has to prove itself

FundGrid is an ImpactTech platform built for a simple problem: communities with urgent, well-defined needs rarely have access to structured funding, and people who want to give rarely have proof their money changed anything.

Individuals contribute to the FundGrid Impact Pool, allowing FundGrid to allocate funds fairly across verified community projects, while companies can either contribute to the pool or directly sponsor projects that align with their CSR goals.

Our mission

To make community-level funding in Nigeria verifiable, fair and accountable — so that a borehole, a classroom block or a clinic solar system gets funded because the need is real and documented, not because someone had a large audience.

What we do differently

  • • Independent, on-the-ground verification before a project is ever published.
  • • Pooled individual giving so allocation is decided on evidence, not visibility.
  • • CSR-ready sponsorship for companies that need reportable, attributable impact.
  • • Milestone-based release with mandatory field evidence between tranches.
  • • Public reporting for every published project, including completed ones.

Principles that shape every decision

Verification first

No project is published until an implementing partner has confirmed the need on the ground and FundGrid has reviewed the evidence file.

Fairness over popularity

Pooled giving means funding follows verified need, not the loudest campaign or the most photogenic story.

Traceable money

Allocations, milestone releases and field evidence are published on each project page so contributors can follow the money.

Nigeria-first, globally funded

Projects are delivered in Nigerian communities, while individuals and companies anywhere can contribute.

An ImpactTech platform aligned to the Global Goals

Every project FundGrid funds is mapped to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. That mapping runs through project pages, donor reports and corporate CSR reporting, so impact is measured against a global standard rather than a private one.
