About GrantsPath
Built by Native technologists, for the full complexity of tribal grant management.
GrantsPath is a Native-owned nonprofit grant management platform. We support tribal governments and Native-serving organizations through every phase of the grant lifecycle — from discovery through post-award compliance and renewal.
“We hold these records in trust for the People. We do not mine your data, we do not sell your history, and we do not compromise your sovereignty.”
A CodeTalkers.io Initiative
Indigenous technologists building tools that serve tribal communities — not shareholders.
GrantsPath is a nonprofit initiative of CodeTalkers.io, owned and operated by Indigenous technologists. CodeTalkers creates inclusive tech programs, courses, and applications that help Native communities build digital skills, share ideas, and own their future.
GrantsPath exists because tribal grant management is genuinely underserved. Most grant tools are built for nonprofits or municipalities and adapted for tribal use — or not adapted at all. The post-award phase, where compliance requirements are steepest and awards are most at risk, is where existing tools are weakest. We built for that reality from the start.
Our Principles
What guides everything we build.
Tribal Data Sovereignty
Your data is your property. We do not mine it, sell it, or share it with third parties. Every record remains under tribal authority, retrievable and exportable on your terms.
7-Year Record Protection
Federal grant records must be retained for the full compliance window — typically seven years from closeout. We preserve them through staff turnover, administrative transitions, and system changes. Nothing is lost because someone left.
AI That Serves the Grant Writer
Our AI evaluates grants against your organization's profile, extracts evaluation criteria from NOFOs so generation is calibrated to how this specific reviewer scores, generates supporting documents from expert-authored rubrics, and flags compliance conditions on active awards. It works within the grant writer's workflow — not as a replacement for their judgment.
Stewardship Over Software
GrantsPath is a tool in service of a mission, not the other way around. Every product decision is measured against the question: does this make tribal grant management more effective, more compliant, and more sustainable?
The Platform
A complete grant management platform for tribal governments.
Built for the full lifecycle — not just the application.
Pre-submission
Grant Discovery
Search 2,500+ federal and state grants across 15 state portals, with tribal eligibility filters, fit scoring, and boundary verification. Opportunities are surfaced — not buried in fine print.
AI Proposal Generation
Rubric-based proposal generation across nine grant categories. Generated drafts are evaluated with criterion-level scoring and specific guidance — not just prose to edit.
NOFO Criteria Extraction
Reads the evaluation criteria section of a NOFO and configures generation for how this specific funder scores. The output is calibrated to this reviewer's point values and emphasis — not generic grant writing.
Supporting Document Generation
Logic models and organizational capacity statements generated from your org profile and application details. Each document type has its own expert-authored rubric weighted to match what federal reviewers actually score.
BudgetBuilder
SF-424A category support, federal vs. non-federal cost splitting, indirect cost rate application, NOFO budget constraint extraction, and AI-generated budget justification narratives.
Post-award
Post-Award Compliance Monitoring
Active awards are monitored for reporting deadlines, executive order impacts, and compliance conditions. Issues surface before they become audit findings.
Renewal Generation
Renewals drafted from prior award data — performance history, budget actuals, and compliance record. Awards don't lapse because the deadline crept up.
7-Year Secure Record Vault
All grant documents, budgets, reports, and correspondence retained for the full federal compliance window. Exportable at any time. Nothing is lost to platform changes or staff transitions.
Sustainable Model
No shareholders. Only stakeholders.
GrantsPath is a social enterprise. Our pricing sustains the platform, and surplus funds the Mission Scholarship for smaller tribes.
No investors, no advertising, no data monetization. Every dollar stays in the mission.
State-recognized tribes and communities under 1,000 people qualify for 50% off any paid plan. Access to the full platform shouldn't depend on the size of your government.
