Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) & Grassroots Collectives
Turn Grassroots Trust into Institutional Grant Eligibility
Replace paper exercise books and unencrypted WhatsApp groups with an intuitive mobile workflow that works 100% offline. Frontline field volunteers collect data without internet, manage local bookkeeping with a standardized chart of accounts, and earn a verified CSO Passport to access direct institutional donor grants.
Rural Women Livelihood Initiative (RWLI)
“Before Pulse, our field volunteers recorded farm cooperative visits in paper notebooks that got ruined in the rainy season. International donors rejected our grant applications because we lacked formal audit records. Pulse allowed us to build an audit-proof track record completely offline on our phones, securing our first $45,000 direct USAID Local Works sub-grant.”
— Grace Iorfa, Founder & Executive Coordinator
