For foundations whose grant files are institutional memory, not administrative debris.
Charitable foundations and philanthropic institutions use Archively.AI to bring the grant-making lifecycle, board governance, family papers, endowment records, and impact reports into one searchable catalog — every cycle traceable, every multi-decade arc visible, every centennial within reach.

What you'll actually do with it.
Concrete use cases — not generic pitch bullets.
Catalog the full grant-making lifecycle.
RFPs, applications, review notes, decision memos, award letters, mid-grant reports, close-out reports — each cycle as a single grant file with its own retention rule.
Trace multi-decade programme arcs.
A 1937 first-grant → 1987 fifty-year evaluation → 2007 anniversary report → 2032 centennial framework reads as one timeline. Tag once, surface across the decades.
Govern board minutes and conflict-of-interest filings.
Board minutes are open under the open-record rule; conflict-of-interest filings can be staff-restricted. Per-record access without rebuilding the catalog.
Run an impact-report programme over a thirty-year cohort.
Five-year impact reports per programme cohort, automatically grouped by the catalog. The 75th-anniversary impact report becomes a search facet, not a one-off project.
Hold founder and family papers with care.
Time-bound family-request embargoes (e.g. founder's diaries restricted to centennial year), automatic surfacing on lapse, and the 'inherited / reviewed' description model where appropriate.
Plan the centennial without rebuilding the archive.
75th-anniversary commemorative reports routinely re-use historic creative. Tag the originals once; surface them as a 'Centennial planning' collection on demand.
Kelvinridge Foundation Archives
Ninety years of family-foundation philanthropy in three programme areas (Education, Public Health, Arts). The strongest demonstration in the deployment of grant-making lifecycle records: RFP, application, review, award letter, multi-year reports, and the impact-evaluation file that ties them together.
