What Is the Tutator Forward Grant?
The Tutator Forward Grant, powered by Fondation Tutator, is a global tech-for-impact initiative aimed at equipping NGOs and social enterprises with advanced, custom-designed software systems that solve real problems. The solutions are created to support direct program delivery, not back-office operations like HR or payroll.
Tutator doesn’t offer cash funding — it offers value-driven technology. Projects selected for the grant receive tailor-made digital platforms built on Tutator’s Beneficiary Management Platform (BMP), enabling organizations to reach more people, improve service quality, and measure outcomes more effectively.
What You Will Receive
If selected, your organization will receive:
- A fully custom-built software solution, developed based on your organization’s mission, strategy, and operations.
- Between 5,000 and 20,000 hours of specialized software development — valued at $75,000 to $1 million USD.
- Ongoing collaboration during the entire build, from system design to post-deployment support.
- Six months of technical assistance after launch to ensure long-term success.

Why This Grant Stands Out in 2025
In 2025, many nonprofits face a tech gap — great ideas and passionate teams, but no technical capacity to scale. The Tutator Forward Grant eliminates this barrier. It enables mission-focused organizations to do more with less, using purpose-built software that adapts to evolving field realities.
This isn’t off-the-shelf software. It’s built for you, by experts, with your mission at the center.
How to Apply
Applications are now open. There is no fixed deadline, but projects are selected on a rolling basis. If your organization is ready to scale its impact with the power of technology, now is the time to act.
