You’ll receive a fully customized software solution, co-designed with your team and built on Tutator’s Beneficiary Management Platform (BMP). Projects typically involve 5,000 to 20,000 hours of engineering work, valued between $75,000 and $1,000,000 USD.

No. Tutator Forward is not a cash grant. Instead, we provide a complete software development process at no cost, tailored to your organization’s needs.

No, we only provide the software solution. Grantees are responsible for having—or acquiring—the necessary hardware and infrastructure (such as computers, tablets, internet access, and servers) to implement and use the system effectively.

While there’s no financial transfer, the value of the in-kind grant is significant. Depending on the complexity of the project, each grantee receives between 5,000 and 20,000 hours of specialized software development work—which translates to an estimated value of $75,000 to $1,000,000 USD.

Most projects last 6 to 12 months, depending on complexity and your team’s availability. After deployment, you receive 6 months of second level support and maintenance from Tutator.

There’s no set number. Applications are evaluated individually, and selected organizations will be notified directly.

A website is not required, but your organization must have legal status to apply.

That’s okay—you can still apply. However, if selected, your organization will need someone to fulfill that role. Some past grantees have hired part-time or freelance IT admins.

All applicants will be notified by email about the outcome of their application.

However, due to the high number of submissions, we may not be able to provide personalized feedback to every organization.

Yes. We sign a confidentiality agreement with each grantee to protect your information, know-how, and project details. We also do not access any data entered into the software.

• A lifetime license (free of charge)
• Full access to the source code

Yes, ongoing costs are the responsibility of the grantee. This includes hosting and infrastructure (e.g., servers, internet, backups) and first-level support for day-to-day issues. If needed, after the 6-month second-level support period, organizations may choose to contract Tutator for continued support—but this is completely optional.

Tutator doesn’t provide IT infrastructure. Costs vary based on your project’s needs. We’ll help you define requirements and suggest options, but you’ll be responsible for procuring and setting up the infrastructure.
