Funding claims shouldn't be this hard

If you've ever spent days preparing a funding claim—chasing parent signatures, cross-referencing spreadsheets, worrying about errors that will come back to bite you—you know the pain. We built this portal to make the whole process simpler.

Paper chaos

Forms, signatures, and declarations scattered everywhere

Time drain

Hours spent on data entry, reconciliation, and chasing

Error risk

Manual processes introduce mistakes that cause queries

No visibility

Hard to know where things stand or what's missing
