Most nonprofits find funders the same way: a Google search, a tip from a board member, or a database with thousands of results and no way to know which ones matter. The process is slow, inconsistent, and full of dead ends.

We built PosterChild to do it differently. Our system analyzes every active foundation in the country — their 990 filings, grant histories, geographic focus, program priorities, and peer funding networks — then scores each one specifically against your organization's mission, traction, and programs.

The result: a curated list of funders who are genuinely aligned with your work, ranked by how well they fit, with the intelligence you need to reach out today.

Discovery & Scoring

We don't start with a keyword search. We start by understanding your organization — your mission, the communities you serve, your programs, and your track record — then cast a wide net across multiple discovery channels to find every foundation that could be a fit.

Every candidate funder then passes through quality gates — inactive foundations, pass-through vehicles, and organizations with no recent grants are automatically excluded — before being scored across multiple dimensions of alignment. Only high-confidence matches make your final list.

Deep Research — Intelligence on Every Funder

A match score gets you started. But to actually reach out, you need more. For every funder on your list, we generate a complete intelligence brief — the kind of research a top fundraising consultant would spend hours on, generated automatically and kept current as new data arrives.

Instead of "who might fund us?" your team opens a prospect and sees exactly why they're a match, what to ask for, who to talk to, and how to approach them. No additional research required.
