What it is
Grant It Forward is the give-back commitment inside Grant Nexus. We reserve a portion of subscription revenue for a focused fund that supports rural and underserved education-focused micro-grants.
Who it is for
The fund is designed to stay close to the institutions and initiatives that are often asked to do the most with the fewest resources: rural colleges, community colleges, tribal-serving institutions, regional public universities, and underserved education efforts.
What it supports
The goal is practical support for education access, teaching capacity, community-serving research, and small but meaningful grant needs that can expand opportunity in underserved settings.
Why we built it
Grant Nexus was built for lean higher-ed research offices that need faster access to the right funding. Grant It Forward extends that same mission by helping direct part of our growth back into education-focused grant support.
What happens next
As the program matures, this page will publish more detail about how the fund operates and how updates will be shared. We are keeping the commitment public now without overstating a process that is still being formalized.
See the mission in product context
Grant It Forward is tied to the same higher-ed mission behind Grant Nexus: faster access to funding for institutions that do not always have large pre-award teams or enterprise software budgets.
