AmpliFund Features

The tool's expense tracking portion was our organization's main selling point, but tracking goals has been an added benefit when writing grant reports.

In the beginning, the expense importing was a bit challenging because of the system limitations of our accounting software. Integrating that software with the grant management tool would greatly help this often time-consuming process.

Kennisha, Thank you so much for your review and kind words. Knowing that both our software and our people are providing the support you need to focus on your mission is what motivates us daily! We also appreciate your feedback about the integration with the accounting software. We do this for many customers and definitely agree that this step eases the financial aspects of grant management. We look forward to the opportunity to put this in place for you. Best always, Your AmpliFund Team

The only functional piece of this software that really helped our agency was the application process. We had been doing paper applications and Amplifund did allow us to make this process all online and much more streamlined. We had some issues with reviewers not having the right permissions and having to call several times to get this resolved but this was a beneficial feature.

First the proposal and the sales people assured our agency that the specific functionality the we were require the software to have--mainly being able to produce a report which would include subrecipient expenses being rolled up into the parent grant budget reports. This was never available and we were promised that we would have this 2.5 years ago. Next we were told that the application we were...

AmpliFund has allowed us to create a permanent grant record that multiple users can access. We depend on the workflow and tasking features to maintain compliance. This has allowed us to manage over 100 active grants with better consistency.

AmpliFund continues to build out their platform with more features. When we were building our grant management page, we had to conform to the template and then build out added features. This is helpful but isn't always the most user friendly for our departments to complete.

Renee, thank you. We really appreciate your feedback. It is always encouraging to know that we've made our customers' lives easier and helped you be compliant! And, we're very proud to hear that our team has lived up to our standards of providing excellent levels of support and responsiveness. We also value your helpful insight on the impact on your team as we add more features. We continue to take such feedback to heart as we expand our grant management solution. Thank you for being our customer. We certainly look forward to being able to support your programs for years to come.

Amplifund is a great tool to track grant applications, due dates, expenses, and many other grant-related tasks. Our organizations Grants Department is small, and AmpliFund has helped us expand our capabilities without having to hire additional staff.

It can take a while to get used to the system, even with training.

Randy, Thank you so much for taking the time to review AmpliFund. We are very appreciative of your business! Knowing that we enabled your team (and others like you!) to expand your capabilities for even greater impact is what motivates us every day. Thank you also for the honest feedback about the learning curve. We actively invite customer input so that we can continually improve both our product...

It works in Windows. That's the best I can say about it.

The governmental entity that is our grantor (for 2 grants) required us to adopt this product for submission of reimbursement requests and actual expense v budget tracking. We were using Excel previously to submit our data and that worked just fine. I believe Amplifund was intended to make it easier for the grantor to combine expense data from different grantees but that never proved to be the case...

Ability to track future grants, progress reports, final reports, and the budget and expenses through one program.

Additional charge for the Log In with SSO.

Steve, We very much appreciate your feedback. Our goal is always to make sure that AmpliFund enables our customers to manage their grants more easily, efficiently and successfully. It is great to read the details you provided about your ability to manage your budget and detailed reporting with AmpliFund. We certainly also recognize your concerns about the additional charge. Customer feedback, like yours, helps us continuously improve. Thank you! All the best, Your AmpliFund Team

AmpliFund is the only truly purpose-built solution for grant management and reporting. This means only AmpliFund is capable of managing the data elements of grant management and reporting in an individual and granular fashion, rather than assuming that those data elements must be conveyed within a document-based forms. A federal pilot program using AmpliFund demonstrated that liberating the data elements...

The main drawback of a purpose-built solution is that it will have a steeper learning curve than solutions which simply duplicate the workflow of the paperwork that they replace. Users must start thinking in terms of data elements instead of forms.

It has a good look to it, colors and fonts

functionality, customer support, lag times, over promised expectations, not user friendly, crashes

This provides a full grant cycle system, from application to post award closeout out; the configuration of the application is pretty intuitive; There is a ton of flexibility in the configuration of the applications.

There are some limits to the layers of information available to some users; the data tables that collate information behind the scenes are very complicated, and have a lot overlap so when querying out information for a report it is difficult to find the fields you are looking for; the custom reports feature was an additional cost that was not clear when we first signed on with Amplifund, rather, the "ability" was there when we asked these questions.

Online management of all grants Great customer service Easy to use

Finding and storing reports in AmpliFund

Casey, Thank you for your review. We truly appreciate the feedback and recommendation. It is a privilege to support your programs. -Your AmpliFund Team

There is nothing I like about this problematic application

These features are poor: user set up - finicky, reporting is not flexible, negotiating a draw back and forth is not possible, inefficient, troublesome product, zero intuitiveness, ZERO Support

AmpliFund has greatly enhanced our ability to research, pursue, and track grant documentation and details as an institution. In the past audit compliance was a challenge, with key documents and information scattered across an array of spreadsheets, emails, and individual file folders. With AmpliFund’s simple interface and great organizational tools it is all now housed in one central point, our auditors loved it!

The document management component could be clunky as an interface at times.

How accessible and helpful our contact at AmpliFund as been.

How quick I am timed out and have to log back in.

Michael, Thank you for your review. We are very glad to hear that our team is providing a high level of service; this is the bar we set so that we are able to support our customer's programs successfully! We also appreciate your candor about the system timing out. The timing is due to a security requirement for SOC 2 compliance. But we understand that it causes frustration and we are truly sorry for that. Thank you for trusting us with your grant management. All the best, Your AmpliFund Team

I had the pleasure of working with the Streamlink team a few years ago on a pilot program with the U.S. Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. We needed to collect information on existing grant programs with non-profits, and Streamlink provided access to the exact audience we needed. The software was easily configurable to meet our needs, and the Streamlink team could not have been easier to work with.
