Navigator connects communities across the U.S. to billions in available funding opportunities through two solutions—Funding Navigator and Pipeline Navigator—enabling organizations of all sizes to streamline grant applications and overcome funding barriers.

TULSA, Okla., Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GovFunds, Inc. (dba Navigator) today announces its official launch, introducing a platform developed over three years to address one of the biggest hurdles facing local governments and public safety agencies: securing essential funding. The Company's flagship product, Funding Navigator integrates sophisticated technology with expert guidance, equipping agencies to streamline resource acquisition and overcome the costs and complexities of grant applications.

Developed through extensive research and pilot-tested in 2024, Funding Navigator demonstrated the ability to reduce grant application times by up to 80% and costs by as much as 90%. To date, Navigator has worked with over 1,500 agencies, delivering practical solutions that directly address the barriers preventing communities from accessing vital resources. Supported by $3 million in funding, including a $1 million grant from the Department of Commerce through the R2 Network and venture investment led by Responder Ventures, Navigator represents a new standard for efficiency and accessibility in funding solutions.

Addressing the Funding Disconnect

Each year, billions of dollars in grant funding go unclaimed, even as more than half of local government agencies report a lack of adequate funding for essential services. Many existing models fail to efficiently connect these agencies with available opportunities, leading to unnecessary delays and expenses. Navigator bridges this gap by offering a streamlined, user-friendly platform specifically tailored to the diverse needs of government entities nationwide.

"This is about breaking down the barriers that keep crucial community projects from being funded," said Bryce Stirton, CEO and Co-Founder of Navigator. "When local governments have the resources they need, first responders get the tools to come home safely, educators can shape brighter futures for our children, and everyday citizens gain stronger, more secure communities. Every successful funding application drives our team forward—because we know each project we help bring to life truly matters."

• Funding Navigator: Simplifies the grant application process through a curated database of thousands of opportunities, step-by-step guidance, and expert feedback to strengthen applications.
