California Foster Forum

Pre-Launch Debreif

The United Nations recognized that poverty is multi-dimensional and requires strategic, sustainable solutions. An offensive position with multi-faceted solutions. A New Model for Sustainable Change We invite Foundations to join with us in transforming Code Red-Ecosystem into an empowering sustainable future for all California foster youth.. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss these strategies in more detail and explore build bridges for collaboration.

Our group of solutions are administered through four pillars civic, social, economic, and academic. The recent political and economic unrest is hurting Californians. This compelled us to accelerate our development timelines and take immediate action.

Don’t see your question here? We’re happy to address governance, legal, or technical details directly with your team.

Is GrantBridge Civic a grant management system?

No. We intentionally do not replace your existing grants management or ERP systems. GrantBridge Civic sits in front of those tools as a shared pipeline and collaboration layer for counties, foundations, and community partners. It helps you shape, prioritize, and coordinate projects before and during funding. We integrate with your systems of record where needed.

How is data shared between counties and foundations?

Each workspace is co-governed. Foundational agreements determine what is visible to which parties (e.g., county staff, foundation program officers, board members, community partners). Sensitive information—such as internal ratings or early-stage concepts—can be segmented while still maintaining a single, structured view of confirmed projects and outcomes.

What does implementation require from county IT?

Very little. GrantBridge Civic is delivered as secure, cloud-based software. Counties typically designate a project lead in the CAO, CIO, or innovation office, while we handle configuration, access controls, and onboarding. Optional integrations with internal systems may require light IT review, which we support with documentation and security materials.

How is this funded?

In some regions, philanthropic partners cover the cost of the shared workspace as part of their capacity-building strategy. In others, counties fund it through existing planning or innovation budgets. We’ll outline options in your briefing and can prepare materials tailored for boards, councils, or statewide collaboratives.

Is the platform compliant and secure?

GrantBridge Civic is built on SOC2-ready infrastructure with role-based access controls, audit trails, and strict data residency practices. We support DPAs and security reviews with your legal and IT teams. We do not sell or share your data with third parties.
