Who we are

GrantAccess was launched in 2019 in response to its founders first hand experience working with organizations who struggled to access the funding they needed to grow their operations and maximize impact. GrantAccess was formed to address the needs of organizations working to solve challenging and pressing social and environmental problems.  Since then, GrantAccess has grown to be a small team of development consultants based across the world. 

GrantAccess works to provide social enterprises, especially those that are locally- and women-led, with fundraising services and support to help them grow and maximize their impact.

GrantAccess’ vision is to create a world where impactful social enterprises everywhere have equal access to the capital they need to grow. We aim to help raise $500,000,000 for 500 impactful social enterprises, thereby positively impacting over 50,000,000 people, by 2028. 

“Working with GrantAccess was a great experience and an unforgettable learning journey. Their professionalism, integrity, understanding, flexibility, and quality of deliverables were very much appreciated by all HDP staff. We look forward to winning together today and in the future.”

— Claire Rwiyereka, Executive Director Health Development and Performance
