A smarter, more connected way to fund social good.

Whether you're a philanthropic foundation, corporate social impact team, Iwi, government agency, or individual funder – and whether your focus is the environment, youth, or marginalised communities – your ultimate goal is impact.

Hum gives a transparent, high-trust mechanism for community-led decision making that ensures resources are allocated where they have the greatest impact. By devolving control to local groups through micro-grants, funders see more responsive, culturally appropriate solutions emerge while reducing administrative overhead. The platform provides a clear audit trail, strengthens community resilience, and builds long-term legitimacy for funders as partners who empower, rather than dictate, change.

Transparent Funding Flow

Funders gain real-time visibility of where every dollar goes, reducing uncertainty and the risk of misuse. This transparency strengthens accountability and builds trust with stakeholders and the public.

Reduced Administrative Burden

By streamlining applications, compliance, and reporting, the platform cuts down on costly administration. Funders spend less on overheads and more directly on impact, improving ROI on grantmaking.

Verified Local Decision-Making

Instead of reviewing thousands of proposals, funders see locally validated priorities chosen by communities themselves. This eliminates "sea of proposals" fatigue while ensuring alignment with real needs.

Measurable, Real-Time Impact Data

Built-in reporting tools track results continuously, avoiding long lags in impact measurement. Funders can demonstrate effectiveness quickly to boards, donors, or taxpayers, enhancing credibility and securing future support.

Flexible, Scalable Funding Model

Funds can be streamed in micro-grants or milestone-based allocations, adapting to different funder strategies. This scalability allows pilots to grow into national or global initiatives without system redesign.

Positive Brand & Legacy

Supporting a transparent, community-led system positions funders as innovators in social good. It enhances reputation, attracts co-funding, and leaves a legacy of backing systemic, not just one-off, change.
