Grants Management overview

What is Grants Management?

CommunityForce is an AI enabled grants management software that offers universities, foundations, and philanthropic organizations of all sizes a centralized platform from which to manage grant applications, funding, and awards. Incorporating features for administrators, applicants, and reviewers, CommunityForce aims to deliver a comprehensive grant management solution. Applicant and reviewer accounts are free and unlimited.

CommunityForce equips users with the technology to manage user groups, funds, and awards. Administrators can create and publish application forms and manage budgets, fiscal sponsors, and applicant communication. CommunityForce also provides users with the functionality to review and evaluate applicants and generate custom reports.

CommunityForce allows applicants to answer prequalifying questions, upload attachments, and import information from existing applications. From the CommunityForce application specific dashboard, applicants can manage all of their personal, academic, and financial information, and invite other individuals to complete sections of their application. Since CommunityForce is mobile and tablet friendly, users can access their applications and personal information while on the move.

In order to assist users in reviewing applications, CommunityForce provides users with tools for reviewing, scoring, and ranking proposals. CommunityForce also enables users to export scores to Excel, supports collaboration between admins and reviewers, and offers integrations with a range of platforms, including Salesforce, Blackbaud, and Ellucian.
