Our Mission
Closing the Funding Gap
Private and faith-based schools educate over 5 million students and serve communities that mainstream education has historically overlooked.
Yet these schools face a persistent funding crisis. While public schools access per-pupil federal funding, private schools must piece together revenue from tuition, donations, and grants. Most leave significant funding on the table.
GrantCrew brings grant intelligence, application expertise, and strategic guidance to schools that historically couldn't afford it.
“The average private school leaves $47,000 in federal entitlements on the table every year. That's not a funding challenge—that's a discovery problem. We solve the discovery problem.”

Why We Exist
Discovery Gap
Most schools don't know about Title I equitable services, E-Rate discounts, or specialized foundation programs. We bring visibility.
Expertise Gap
Writing winning proposals requires specific skills. Schools often lack in-house capacity. We provide AI-powered drafts reviewed by experts.
Scale Gap
Hiring a full-time grant director is expensive. GrantCrew brings enterprise-level grant operations to schools of any size.
Leadership
Meet the Founder
Anas Al-Jumaily
Founder & CEO
Anas is an experienced operator and board member with deep expertise in faith-based education and nonprofit governance. He serves on the boards of BHA (Beacon Heights Academy) and Little Horizons, leading strategic initiatives in school funding and institutional leadership.
Over the past five years, Anas has worked extensively with private and faith-based schools across Texas, identifying a consistent pattern: schools are fundamentally sound but systematically underutilize available funding sources. GrantCrew is his answer to that inefficiency.
When not building GrantCrew, Anas advises school leadership teams on governance, strategy, and sustainable fundraising.
Powered by AI. Guided by Mission.
Why AI?
Grant discovery and application drafting require processing vast amounts of structured data. AI excels at this work:
- —Continuously scan funding sources
- —Match opportunities to your school
- —Generate intelligent proposal drafts
- —Audit for unclaimed entitlements
Why Human Judgment?
AI is powerful but not sufficient. Grant strategy requires understanding your mission, board priorities, and vision:
- —Education funding expertise
- —Compelling grant storytelling
- —Board-level strategic thinking
- —Sustainable funding sequencing
