    From where I stand, GLM is well-suited for use by small-staffed charitable foundations who make more than thirty (30) grants a year and distribute more than $500,000 in funds to non-profits. The software is able to handle every step in the grant-making process from receipt of a request, to the evaluation and decision regarding the grant, to tracking the pay-out, and to closing the grant when the work or the year is completed.

    If you are using it for large-scale printing such as printing plans as we do, this is a great machine to have in your arsenal. Sure, the size can make it somewhat cumbersome, however it is definitely worth it to have in your office. It allows you to print full-size as well as scaled sheets at a myriad of sizes. It also allows you to scan and download edited drawings which is also a major plus.

    Pros
    Foundant Technologies
    • Foundant provides a streamlined grants management solution for reasonable cost.
    • The company listens to its users, collecting ideas and making improvements. Updates to the software are rolled out several times a year. When something cannot be changed right away, the company gives context and forecasts when the change might be possible.
    • While the software is easy to use, it also offers more advanced features (such as merge templates) that allow more customization for the advanced user.

    Cons
    Foundant Technologies
    • Need a smother process for third party responses. Currently individuals recommending more than one student for scholarships have many emails to deal with to find the correct link to upload the correct student's letter.
    • Questions that would filter which applications the applicant would apply for.

    We use a third party to service our machine so service-wise, it is hard to say. Support-wise, we have plenty of paper stocked and toner on hand should we run out. In my 4 plus years here at the office, we have had maybe one or two times where the machine was down for a day at maximum and then was back in working order immediately.

    I have not used other online grantmaking products or evaluated others. I used to use MicroEdge Gifts, but not the online application version. It was a stand alone management system. This is hands-down better, easier to use and a more complete system

    We also use this machine in our office in conjunction with the Teriostar. In comparing the two, the Teriostar is much more versatile. The quality of printing (and ability to print in color) is a big plus for the DesignJet, however, we can do so much more with the Teriostar. In looking at size, they are both comparable in that category.

    Return on Investment
    Foundant Technologies
    • Positive customer service--fairly easy to use for applicants.
    • Positive--easy to run reports you have already set up, so [it] saves time.
    • Negative--limited question types makes it harder to gather the data we want to track.
    • Negative--our budget is more complex than can be tracked in Foundant, so we have to use a separate program.
    • Negative--we have to track potential grantee conversations in a separate program.
    • Negative--getting data ready to display in a dashboard takes a lot of time to manipulate in Excel.
