| Project type | Multi-module grant program platform — applicant portal, admin / review dashboard, AI-assisted impact reporting, and applicant-facing knowledge-base chatbot |
|---|---|
| Summary | Built and deployed an integrated grant-management platform serving all eight North Slope Iñupiat villages. Replaces fragmented email / PDF / spreadsheet intake with a single role-based platform where applicant organizations apply online, ASCF staff review and award, and leadership tracks impact across communities. An AI navigator chatbot built on a local knowledge base answers common applicant questions, reducing intake-team load and supporting capacity-building for grant-seeking organizations. |

| Engagement outcome | Replaces fragmented PDF / email / spreadsheet intake with a single role-based platform serving applicant organizations, ASCF staff, and leadership in one environment.

| Capabilities used | Public-facing portal development · Role-based authentication · Intake & review workflows · AI-assisted reporting · Knowledge-base chatbot · Impact visualization · Community-data design |
| Engagement shape | Direct foundation engagement (not federal sub). Deployed in production. Senior core, staffed to scope. |
| Maps to module | This single engagement spans four of our five module shapes: public-facing portals, intake / eligibility / workflow, AI-assisted document review (chatbot), and program & reporting dashboards. Translatable into a direct Tribal program engagement, foundation initiative, state HHS contract, or federal sub task order at IHS DGM, BIA / BIE Grants Management, or HHS sub-agency reporting — one module shape, multiple persona entry points. |
Layout shown is the public applicant-facing portal. Applicant organizations log in to apply, track their submissions, and access the knowledge-base FAQ navigator. UI and FAQ copy shown are representative; not a live capture of production data.
All community names, dollar amounts, percentages, and AI-drafted narrative shown are demonstration placeholders only. They are not live data, not audited totals, and do not represent any organization's actual grant records or program performance.
