How It Works

A smarter path from mission to funding

OnSequoia is built around the initiative — a specific, structured funding opportunity that replaces the generic grant proposal and gives donors something real to connect with.

1
Nonprofits build an initiative profile
Using our guided Grow toolkit, nonprofits define a specific funding need — goals, budget, timeline, and impact metrics — in a format that works for grant applications and donor pitches alike.
2
AI helps write and apply for grants
OnSequoia parses grant requirements and helps draft tailored applications from your initiative profile. No starting from scratch. No format guesswork.
3
Vetted initiatives list on the marketplace
Once a profile meets our readiness threshold, one click publishes it to the Sow donor marketplace — where donors browse causes, not just organizations.
4
Donors fund. Nonprofits report back.
Funded initiatives provide milestone updates through the platform, creating a low-friction feedback loop that builds donor confidence and drives repeat giving.
For Nonprofits

Your initiative does the heavy lifting

Stop rewriting the same proposal for every funder. Build one great initiative profile and let OnSequoia do the rest.

✦
AI-Guided Profile Builder
Structured prompts and coaching tips help you articulate your initiative clearly — goals, impact, budget, and timeline — without needing a grant writer.
⚡
Grant Application Engine
Upload a grant's requirements and we'll analyze your fit, flag gaps, and draft a tailored application from your existing profile. Free tier includes 2–3 per month.

🤝
White-Glove Onboarding
