Two layers of finance the IE/IGF intelligence follows: the intergenerational-finance landscape we track as signals across 15 dimensions (below), and the funding pipeline of grants GYC could pursue. The weekly finance scanner feeds the first; the daily funding scans feed the second.
Open finance knowledge graph → funders sized by tracked funding, linked to dimensions and signals.
Each box is a finance dimension. Size is share of the field (how many tracked signals match it), like a market heatmap. Colour is coverage: deeper green = more of the map. Dimensions overlap — 1816 total matches across 15 categories · 2432 finance-related signals · 1473 youth/IG finance. Click a tile to open its coverage card.
How much of the intergenerational-finance field we have eyes on: each dimension counts the tracked signals that mention it. This is the answer to how much finance in this space have we tracked — and where the blind spots are.
Grants and funds surfaced by the daily funding scans, de-duplicated. $124.4M surfaced across 54 opportunities ($73.4M grant-scale, excl. large fund pools). "Tracked" = surfaced, not awarded. Live calls with deadlines also sit on the public Opportunities view.
