Gravity, a leading disclosure and budgeting automation company for the public sector, has announced the acquisition of Cityspan, a provider of cloud-based grants management and performance measurement systems. The deal marks a major expansion in Gravity’s mission to deliver an end-to-end financial management solution for governments, connecting budgeting, reporting, grants, and citizen engagement through a single unified platform.
Based in Tampa, Florida, Gravity has rapidly emerged as one of North America’s fastest-growing technology providers in public finance. The acquisition of Cityspan adds robust grants lifecycle management tools to Gravity’s product portfolio, strengthening its ability to serve federal, state, and local governments.
Cityspan’s technology is widely used by major public agencies and supports the entire grants process, including applications, contracting, performance tracking, and outcome reporting. Its architecture will be fully integrated into the Gravity platform by mid-2026, complementing the company’s growing suite of financial management tools that includes disclosure, budgeting, lease management, and debt management solutions.
For governments, the integration of Cityspan’s capabilities into Gravity’s technology stack means the ability to manage every part of the financial lifecycle through one comprehensive system. This unified experience enhances compliance, audit readiness, and transparency while freeing staff from repetitive administrative tasks. The combined offering will help public agencies connect financial decisions directly to outcomes, creating a clearer link between taxpayer resources and community impact.
Cityspan’s grants and performance management tools will now operate alongside Gravity’s recently launched AI-powered Disclosure Studio and Engagement Studio platforms. These next-generation products are designed to streamline complex financial processes, simplify public disclosures, and foster better communication between governments and citizens. Together, they advance Gravity’s goal of transforming how governments handle financial data—moving from disconnected systems to an intelligent, integrated platform.
The acquisition also builds on Gravity’s growing momentum in the civic technology space following its recent purchase of coUrbanize, a leading community engagement platform. With Cityspan’s expertise and data-driven performance tools, Gravity is now positioned to lead a new era in government financial management, combining transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency.
