A Be.cause Community
Within a growing sector of 2,000,000 charities and 144,000 foundations in Canada and the U.S., finding aligned organizations to collaborate with is hard work.
- Charities spend a significant amount of time and money identifying and cultivating grant opportunities instead of focusing on their programming
- Funders are overwhelmed with due diligence, responding to applicants who don't quite fit the bill rather than tracking down those who do
