Mapping ecosystems to strengthen communities.
FastRoots turns disconnected data into a shared, real-time view of resources and results, helping foundations and partners align around common goals.
Move beyond compliance. Build collaboration.
FastRoots connects data across grantees, partners, and programs, giving foundations clear visibility into community needs, resources, and collective progress.
Challenges Foundations Face
Most foundations lack a unified view of local needs, grantee activity, and outcomes.
Data lives in disconnected reports, spreadsheets, and grant files, making it difficult to see patterns, identify gaps, or coordinate resources.
Small program teams are stretched thin, and reporting demands consume time that could be spent on strategy and collaboration.
How FastRoots Helps
FastRoots transforms fragmented information into a shared, real-time picture of what’s happening across a foundation’s grantee network.
Program staff can see where efforts overlap or align, grantees share data once instead of multiple times, and everyone benefits from a clearer view of collective progress.
The result is stronger coordination, reduced reporting burden, and evidence that helps guide both donor priorities and community investment.
Stronger work, lighter reporting.
FastRoots turns reporting into a tool for grantees, making it easier to share data with funders, learn from peers, and highlight impact, all without extra forms or duplicated effort.
