History
In 1996, GrantStation launched our first searchable database of grantmakers (Big Data), which was developed specifically for Alaskan grantseekers and offered by the Alaska Funding Exchange. Work was done out of a 16 x 20-foot cabin in the woods about 12 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, with no running water. Our electricity was provided by a plug-in on a power pole about 300 feet up the hillside from our cabin. Today, GrantStation's enewsletters, the GrantStation Insider and International Insider have a circulation over 430,000. Membership is enjoyed by tens of thousands, and business partners number in the hundreds. The Company has moved to the 'cloud'; all employees work remotely.
