Built to find the bright spots
Dapple is modernising how submissions and grants are run, so less of your time goes on admin and more goes on the people applying.
Fixing a broken process
Every call for entry, award and grant starts with good intentions. Then it gets buried in admin: spreadsheets, forms, overflowing inboxes. And if your platform looks like it was built in the early 2000s, it probably was. We’re here to change that.
Submission management has always been admin-heavy. There are too many manual steps between someone hitting “submit” and someone making a decision, and even more if you’re paying out funds or tracking outcomes afterwards. Dapple brings the whole journey into one modern platform: intake, review, decisions and outcomes.
Where we come from
We’re creators at heart. We come from the music industry and performing arts, so we’ve been on the other side. Long applications. Murky guidelines. No updates. Missed deadlines. Or simply submitting into the void. That’s not because organisations don’t care. It’s because their tools can’t keep up. Great work gets lost in admin, and it happens everywhere: grants, fellowships, residencies, awards, contests, proposals. Different names, same problem.
Intelligence where it helps
The world is changing quickly. AI is changing how work gets done, and it’s here to stay. The real question is how you use it. We use it for the parts nobody signed up for: checking eligibility, summarising applications, tagging, and routing work to the right reviewers. It’s completely optional. It takes on the mundane parts of the process and gives you back those lost hours for what matters most: your applicants.
A better experience for applicants
Applying for opportunities shouldn’t feel confusing or frustrating. Beautifully designed forms and a personal dashboard let applicants manage applications, attachments, messages and payments in one place, all connected directly to you. Happier applicants become your best advocates.
More time for the bright spots
The magic is in your applicants: the idea nobody saw coming, the project that deserves backing. Our job is to clear the admin out of the way so you can find them.
