Foundant + SmartSimple: grantmaking capabilities to meet your current and growing needs
When Foundant and SmartSimple merged in 2024, we aimed to better serve all types of organizations driving impact in the social good ecosystem. As anyone who has been through a company merger can attest, the beginning stages of joining two teams of over 150 each is never smooth sailing. However, what we’ve learned in this process is that combining two teams of people who are all passionate about the work they do brings added benefits – broadening perspectives, exponential learning, and new friendships.
At the heart of these new relationships and perspectives is a dedication to clients and how we can make them as successful as possible.
"Our vision has always been to empower our clients with the best tools and support to achieve their missions," said Chris Dahl, co-founder of Foundant Technologies.
"This merger allows us to bring together two passionate teams with a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and community impact, including the work we both are doing to integrate AI capabilities to further streamline processes and provide deeper insights for our clients."
Mike Reid, co-founder of SmartSimple, added,
"We are excited to combine our expertise and technology to create a more powerful, flexible, and comprehensive suite of solutions. Together, we will continue to lead the industry and support our clients in making a greater impact through innovative technologies, including AI."
As we continue to merge our teams, we see the benefits come to life across our support for one another and our ability to better serve clients across the spectrum of growth. What’s really exciting is knowing that we can truly meet these change-makers where they are and offer solutions to the pain points that have been holding them back from the full impact they seek to drive.
