Pros

“I think every nonprofit in DE knows about it.”

Kelly S.

Grants and Scholarship Coordinator

“We are a very small foundation, all of us multi-task, and Grant Lifecycle Manager helps us maximize our time communicating and tracking grantees and processes.”

Susan C.

Grants Manager

“Since I'm only going through the processes every few months, it's easy to forget the steps when I'm approving grants.”

Allison T.

Community Outreach

Pros

“Within the first week, I was able to find another 15 grants I had never heard of that specifically tie to my work and the grant writing assistance saved me so much time in digging back through my old applications wondering "where did I write about this before?!".”

Cherise C.

Director of Operations and Programming

“Beyond grant discovery, it has transformed the way our team manages grants by keeping projects, tasks, and deadlines organized in one place.”

Cindy S.

Development and Outreach Officer

“It has saved me so much time being able to fine tune my applications as well as save me from pursuing potential funders who did not align with my organization's mission and goals.”

Sarah H.

Development Operations and Grants Manager

Cons

“Very few updates, system bugs happened often.”

Julia K.

Fund Development Manager

“Sometimes it isn't intuitive when working with reports.”

Britta F.

Grants & Operations Manager

“The ability to design reports is limited.”

Amy N.

Grants Program Manager

Cons

“The only thing that bothers me is that if I find a grant and save to a project, and the officer decides not to apply, there's no way to just remove the grant. ”

Kelly B.

Prospect Research Strategist
