Pros

“The platform makes it significantly easier and faster for our team to create new projects, track submissions, and manage workflows.”

Margo S.

Director of Creative Strategies and Arts-Based Initiatives

“Submittable representatives were extremely thorough and helpful in guiding us in how to create an application (in our case, for a Fellowship program) in Submittable and use different kinds of forms within the platform.”

Leila M.

Senior Program Manager

“Submittable also provides improved data access and reporting tools that help us evaluate impact and make stronger decisions.”

Margo S.

Director of Creative Strategies and Arts-Based Initiatives

Pros

“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

“I like how in-depth I'm able to research a funder before I even attempt an outreach, allowing me to best utilize my time and resources to ensure that I am making the most of all grant/stewardship opportunities. Because of Instrumentl, I've been able to impress donors with an in-depth knowledge of their funding priorities, history of giving, and preferred geographic range.”

David B.

Grants and Development Manager

Cons

“The messaging component can glitch, as I've sent messages to people who did not get them sent to their inbox, and vice versa. Since I communicate with applicants primarily through messages, it can be frustrating to find that messages were not delivered.”

Maggie M.

Program Manager

“It is difficult to identify a time and this causes missing submissions sometimes.”

Akif K.

Electrical-Electronics Engineer

“We've found the email's generated by Submittable have formatting issues and are often blocked by anti-spam software, so there have been some deliverability issues and some problems with reading the system-generated emails.”

Barby B.

Communications

Cons

“I did not like the fact that I had to download an expense template, add my information to the sheet and then upload it.”

Laquisha V.

Grant Fiscal Manager

“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
