Prices vary by project and credits are per Tonne of CO₂. "A carbon credit is a financing tool to support projects reducing greenhouse gas emissions or recapturing carbon from the atmosphere. A single carbon credit is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon credits were formalized by the United Nations Kyoto Protocol. That UN body also developed the key principles and rules guiding verified credits today. In the past, there have been a range of activities that could issue carbon credits. Many experts believe that carbon markets previously were flooded with unverified credits that did not represent real carbon reduction. Our team at Pachama wants to change that. We work only with projects that have third-party verification and pass our own standards."

User Testimonials
	Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager	Pachama
Likelihood to Recommend	Foundant Technologies 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.

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. Sally Weldon Director of Information Technology Read full review	Pachama Inc. No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Foundant Technologies 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 Susan Haley Grants Manager Read full review	Pachama Inc. No answers on this topic
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.
