Meet the Founder

MissionMatch Funding was built by Bethany Stephens, founder of Hope & Hands AI Consulting Services and a U.S. Army veteran who has spent her career turning complicated systems into tools people can actually use.

After an MBA and certifications as an AI Consultant and AI Agent Builder, Bethany kept running into the same problem in her work with nonprofits: passionate founders wasting dozens of hours chasing grants that were never a fit — wrong geography, wrong population, wrong eligibility — while the opportunities that could actually fund them went unseen.

MissionMatch is her answer. It matches each nonprofit's mission, programs, population, and finances against a database of funding opportunities that are verified on the funder's official website before they ever reach you. No invented funders. No wasted applications. Just funding that fits.

Hope & Hands AI Consulting Services is a woman-owned, veteran-owned business based in the Tampa Bay area.
