About FastRoots
Helping foundations see their complete food relief landscape
FastRoots gives foundations the data, mapping tools, and analysis they need to fund strategically, identify gaps, and coordinate effectively across their region.
Built for strategic decision-making
Traditional resource directories cover many issue areas broadly, go stale quickly, and aren’t designed for funders making strategic decisions. FastRoots lets foundations see their complete ecosystem — not just funded organizations, but every community-serving entity — making it possible to identify gaps, discover opportunities, and make fully-informed funding decisions.
Our story
Born from necessity in Western North Carolina
FastRoots originated during Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina. A funder and fiscal sponsor coordinating three food assistance organizations lacked visibility into the broader landscape. Within six months, those organizations had a shared regional map, discovered collaboration opportunities that had been invisible, coordinated distribution more effectively, and produced the region’s first collective impact report.
Our values
Transparency
Foundations see the complete picture: every organization serving their region, not just their grantees.
Collaboration
We design for shared visibility and peer connection, not top-down control.
Impact
Every feature helps foundations move toward strategic funding decisions and measurable community outcomes.
Grantee-Centered
Organizations in the ecosystem benefit too, gaining visibility into peer work and discovering collaboration opportunities.
