Bryce Stirton from Funding Navigator explains how their platform helps local governments and public safety agencies find and secure grants by streamlining the application process, managing data across multiple applications, and providing expert guidance throughout the funding lifecycle. The platform addresses critical funding challenges faced by communities experiencing budget deficits by connecting them with over 6,000 grant opportunities and alternative funding sources that many organizations, especially smaller and rural ones, might otherwise miss due to short application windows and complex requirements. Funding Navigator aims to modernize the fragmented grant industry while maintaining the human element that grantors value, ultimately helping underserved communities access crucial funding while reducing the administrative burden on already stretched public agencies.
