Build collaborative capacity
FastRoots helps foundations and their grantees learn faster, connect more deeply, and demonstrate collective outcomes.
Our mission
Traditional grant management systems are built for transaction, not transformation. We build tools that make it simple for foundations and grantees to share data, support peer learning, and generate evidence of collective outcomes.
Our Values
Transparency
Grantees see how their information contributes to collective insights.
Our story
FastRoots began as a pilot in Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene, where coordination across food system funders and nonprofits required a better way to share data.
Collaboration
We design for shared learning, not top down control.
Impact
Every feature helps philanthropy move faster towards results.
