Ryan recently acquired The Funding Portal Inc., based in Toronto, Canada, a press release reported.
“The strength and success of the grant discovery and screening platform Fundingportal provides cannot be overstated,” said Ryan Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan. “Since its founding over a decade ago, Fundingportal has developed a strong reputation helping companies and other organizations to identify and secure grant and government funding opportunities. This acquisition positions Ryan extremely well to ensure our clients are in a position to benefit from the diverse array of these programs in Canada and beyond.”
A grants discovery and digital operating platform, The Funding Portal Inc., founded in 2011, specializes in connecting its clients with grant and government funding opportunities.
Specifically, the software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider helps companies, municipalities, nonprofits and other organizations to secure grants, government incentives and other forms of funding.
“We felt like Ryan was a good fit because of its powerful reputation in the industry, innovative use of technology and exemplary record of client service,” Alexandria Shannon said. “The combination of Fundingportal’s platform with Ryan’s government funding practice marries best-in-class technology and experts. We look forward to joining a magnificent work environment and continuing to provide exceptional results and service for our clients across North America and beyond.”
With the new addition, the global tax and software service provider hopes to further expand its government funding and grant offerings to existing clients, while also enhancing its collaborating firm’s client base.
The move follows Ryan’s government funding and grants firm Mentor Works acquisition. According to a recent press release, “combined, these two transactions greatly expand and strengthen Ryan’s market-leading Government Funding and Grants practice.”
