Chose Fluxx Grantmaker
Fluxx is not only more intuitive than CyberGrants, its interface is also smoother and easier. Fluxx allows proposers to enter and attach proposal information in a more appealing platform than in CyberGrants. Fluxx also retains more historic data than CyberGrants.

CyberGrants didn't have the advanced features we desired, such as the ability to configure and manage processes and graphing/data visualization.

Active Network is the platform we use for program signups for all of our youth programs, as well as scholarship applications and management of past and present program participants. It's a great program for managing lots of information, although they do take a relatively large …

Not included above because it is not in the system is Salesforce Foundation Connect.

Again, I am always hesitant with this type of question. We selected grant maker because it offered the best fit for our organization's working style and culture. There is also a personal level …
Chose Fluxx Grantmaker
I searched for a product to organize the steps of grantwriting, but every option I found was too expensive for me to present to my non-profit. I liked the features of Smart Simple, but the price was too high. Grantmaker is free but has the options of an expensive grant software.

Grantmaker is well suited for managing grant-making processes and records. It's not a very good tool for CRM. We are currently working with an outside vendor to design a module that will integrate with Grantmaker to help with CRM.

Cons
  • I would love to see either email or text notifications added to the platforms to remind of upcoming deadlines and tasks.
  • Sometimes the data that is pulled into the visuals is not accurate and is a bit glitchy.
  • Adding a real time commenting capability, like Slack, would help the team to stay in contact. This is especially important for remote grantwriters, like me.

Support Rating
I have an assigned rep who is very responsive and is able to answer any questions. Other than that, the technical support has been terrible. I often don't waste time documenting bugs because I know they likely won't get fixed or even followed-up on. Instead, I search for workarounds.
