About the team building

GrantIQ

called to this path with purpose.

Using advanced technology to deliver consistent, evidence-based assessment.

Who we work with . . .

You lead with a defined purpose. Whether you're shaping grant programs, directing philanthropic capital, or designing systems that support communities — you’re here because you believe funding should do more than tick boxes.

You’re committed to fairness, clarity, and outcomes that matter.
You want tools and support that reflect that same standard.

That is why we work with funding teams who don’t settle for surface-level solutions. We work with the ones who know their programs are strong and want justified funding decisions underpinning them.

Designed for funders with a mission.

Whether you support economic growth, community development, or innovation; GrantIQ is built to reflect your unique program objectives — not generic or random metrics.

Built for consistency and credibility.

From eligibility logic to scoring rubrics, every feature is designed to strengthen your assessment process — and withstand scrutiny by aligning with governance protocols.

Make better, more robust decisions. Faster.

Process hundreds of applications in hours, not weeks — without sacrificing transparency, fairness, or accountability - getting funding into the hands of those who amply it's purpose.

Our Story

GrantIQ was created by Lisa Erhart — a professional assessor, author, and funding strategist with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering funding programs across government, corporate, and social impact sectors.

After reviewing over $50 million in funding applications, Lisa saw a persistent challenge: the assessment process takes too long.
The longer it takes to assess, the longer applicants wait — stuck in limbo with no clarity. And the longer it takes to make decisions, the longer it takes for funds to reach the projects and communities they’re meant to support.

GrantIQ was built to change that.

What began as a solo consultant’s workaround has evolved into an AI-powered assessment engine — designed to reduce delays, apply structured scoring, and generate transparent, auditable outcomes at speed.

GrantIQ exists to support funding teams doing high-stakes work under pressure — because faster assessments mean faster outcomes, and faster outcomes mean faster impact.

Enterprise Delivery Experience

We've led the design and delivery of high-value technology projects for corporate and government agencies — with a strong focus on governance, and privacy.

GrantIQ isn’t retrofitted software. It’s designed specifically to assess funding applications using program-specific criteria, with rigour and transparency built in.

Proven in Real Funding Programs
