Gravity Expands Government Financial Management Platform with Acquisition of Cityspan
Gravity, North America’s fastest-growing company in disclosure and budgeting automation, has announced the acquisition of Cityspan, a leading provider of cloud-based grants management and performance measurement solutions. This strategic move strengthens Gravity’s position as a comprehensive financial management platform for governments, expanding its suite of tools beyond budgeting and reporting to include full lifecycle grants management.
With Cityspan’s proven technology, Gravity now unites every major function of government financial administration—grants, budgets, disclosures, and community engagement—under a single, connected system. This acquisition marks a significant step in Gravity’s mission to streamline how public agencies manage funds, improve transparency, and enhance accountability to their communities.
Expanding the Financial Management Ecosystem
Cityspan’s platform enables government agencies and their partners to manage all aspects of grantmaking and grant tracking—from application submission and contracting to performance evaluation and outcome reporting. Its cloud-based, modular design provides flexibility and scalability, making it suitable for agencies of all sizes. By mid-2026, Gravity plans to fully integrate Cityspan’s architecture into its technology stack, allowing seamless interoperability across its entire suite, including forthcoming lease management and debt management tools.
“This acquisition represents a major step forward in our mission to provide governments with a comprehensive, connected financial management platform,” said Tyler Davey, CEO of Gravity. “Cityspan brings proven grants management technology that already supports some of the nation’s largest public agencies. Integrating their expertise allows us to help governments manage the full financial lifecycle—from grants and budgets to disclosures and community engagement—all in one place. We’re thrilled to welcome the Cityspan team to Gravity.”
Unifying Grants, Budgets, and Transparency
For government clients, the combined offering will mean a more unified and efficient experience. Instead of juggling multiple systems for grants, budgets, and public disclosures, agencies can now manage all financial operations within one integrated environment. This consolidation will reduce administrative overhead, improve compliance accuracy, strengthen audit readiness, and enhance public trust through transparent reporting.
With Cityspan’s capabilities, Gravity users will soon be able to align their grants management directly with budgeting and reporting workflows, ensuring a more consistent and data-driven approach to resource allocation. Future releases will also add asset, lease, and debt management functionalities, further expanding the platform’s scope.
“Data-driven transparency is transforming the way governments serve their communities,” said Mark Min, CEO of Cityspan. “By integrating Cityspan’s trusted grants and performance management technology with Gravity’s innovative platform, we’re extending our shared commitment to open, accountable government. Together, we’re helping agencies turn data into impact, ensuring every program, budget, and report reflects the real needs of the communities they serve.”
Accelerating Growth and Innovation
Cityspan’s team will join Gravity, bringing deep expertise in grants and performance measurement to accelerate product innovation. The collaboration aims to merge Cityspan’s long-standing success in managing complex public sector grants programs with Gravity’s cutting-edge AI-driven automation.
The acquisition follows several recent milestones for Gravity, including its purchase of coUrbanize, a leading community engagement platform, and the launch of Gravity Disclosure Studio and Gravity Engagement Studio, both powered by Gravity AI. These innovations have positioned Gravity as a technology leader helping governments modernize how they plan, spend, and report public funds.
Building the First Connected Financial Management Platform
By integrating Cityspan’s grants and performance measurement tools, coUrbanize’s engagement solutions, and its own AI-powered financial automation products, Gravity is assembling what it calls the first fully connected financial management ecosystem for the public sector.
This ecosystem aims to transform how governments operate—linking financial data, public transparency, and community input in real time. The unified approach helps agencies better understand how budgets translate into outcomes and how community feedback informs future spending decisions.
In combining automation, analytics, and engagement, Gravity continues to redefine how governments manage public resources. The acquisition of Cityspan not only enhances its product lineup but also strengthens its strategic vision: empowering public agencies with the intelligence, integration, and transparency they need to deliver measurable results for the communities they serve.
