CivStart and OpenGrants partnership to match civic-startups with needed funds

CivStart, a nonprofit innovation hub for local governments, is partnering with OpenGrants, a grant search engine and marketplace of independent grant consultants.

The partnership means that the startups, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, academics, and leaders who bring innovation to local government as a part of CivStart's network will have access to the easy, seamless grant search and application experience of OpenGrants. Better and easier access to funds from grant-making sources means accelerated scale for needed solutions to the countries top challenges — directly to the local level, where impact is most felt.

Together, we aim to remove barriers to entry that entrepreneurs too often face in bringing innovative solutions to local governments.
