Considered Both Products	Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager Sara Palmer Vice President of Programs Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager I selected GLM for the intuitive nature of the system and its ability to communicate with the other software platforms we utilize. Incentivized Helpful? Diana Maxwell Grants Manager Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager The decision to choose Grant Lifecycle Manager was made before I began in this position, but we have renewed our license because we were so happy with the service. Incentivized Helpful? Charles Dwyer Program Officer I Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager GLM had the right combination of structure, utility, customer-focus, price that made it the most appealing. Incentivized Helpful? Gwenn Gebhard Executive Director Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager I used GIFTS more than 10 years ago. Their development was glacial, and it was clumsy software. They took much longer to develop the on-line application process. I also reviewed Philan Tech. They did not offer the same flexibility that Foundant's GLM did. Nor did the … Incentivized Helpful? Mary Giraulo Manager, Grants & Arts Education Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager We used MicroEdge GIFTS (server hosted, not online) for about five years, but became frustrated with the fact that their improvements were not provided to existing users of the product unless they purchased additional modules, usually at $20K+ each, even though we had to pay … Incentivized Helpful? Susan Haley Grants Manager Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager 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. Helpful? Sally Weldon Director of Information Technology Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager In 2011 we demoed and reviewd IGAM, Good Done Great, Grant Lifecycle Manager (Foundant) and ChesterCap. Each company and software had strength and weaknesses. We selected Grant Lifecycle Manager based on the product's cost (and how the subscription cost is based); the … Helpful? Laura Kurzrok Executive Director Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager We selected GLM 7 years ago and have not regretted that decision. It's extremely reasonably priced and their customer service is outstanding. Helpful? Erin Baird Director of Grants & Technology Chose Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager We are former GIFTS clients. GIFTS was good but expensive for our small organization and had declining customer service. The GIFTS product we owned had several add on modules which added to the cost and made the product disjointed. Foundant's Grant Lifecycle Management was more … Helpful?

	Foundant Grant Lifecycle Manager
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

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.
