CyberGrants vs. DonationMatch

CyberGrants is very adaptable, so it's ideal for any team that has a large number of grants to review, especially teams with multiple grant applications running on different timetables. Their employee engagement features, while not something we've used, are an area we'd love to explore further, because they create an overall snapshot of giving to an organization (tying in-kind support from volunteerism, etc. in with gift matching contributions and grant applications). If you only receive a few grant applications, or a lot of your grant applicants are very hesitant to use computers or online applications, it might not be as worth it for you.

It is a great tool for connecting businesses with products or services to donate with interested persons, via non-profit fundraisers, which can be selected based on values and mission. It is also an affordable way to solicit donations for non-profit fundraising events.

• Custom grant applications - it was easy for us to create applications that asked exactly the right questions. Features like downloadable budget templates were perfect for us, too.
• Easy review process - we're able to see the status of any grant's review process in just a few clicks.

• Expands audience awareness. Directly connects me with interested persons.
• Grows email list through participation in my donated content.

• Help guides on the admin page aren't always the most helpful for the specific questions I've had.
• Reporting is almost TOO comprehensive - it can be a little overwhelming at first!

• Minor detail, but when you reply to messages the subject line turns blank, and I wish it would populate as re: original message subject.

I've never used anything like this before. I used to do it all one non-profit at a time!

• The time saved on administrative work is a huge win. We used a simple web form for our applications, and spent a lot of time and energy manually entering details into our old system.
