  • ROI has been positive, the cost has been offset by less staff time needed during the review process as well as better documentation and reporting options.
  • Our process flow has improved with the dashboards. As one staff member finishes an activity the dashboard provides a vehicle to move it to the next staff person.

  • Blackbaud Grantmaking is more expensive than the Essential GIFTS product we were using, but it enabled us to move away from a paper due diligence tracking system so that I and our program staff know the exact status of an application without having to be in the office looking at a piece of paper
  • The percentage-based coding allows me to provide more accurate reporting on geographical areas and populations reached so our program staff can use that data to monitor trends in their grantmaking and determine whether they are being responsive to the priorities of our board

  • Positive - it has certainly streamlined the grants management process and improved tracking and reporting capabilities. Sadly, I can't exactly say by how much.

  • Blackbaud Grantmaking, like GIFTS before it, makes it possible to manage as many grants as we do. We couldn’t do it without a database.
  • The ability to customize outcomes has let us share metrics across similar programs, to aggregate our impact on the community.
  • The ability to work from home when needed has positively impacted our program officers’ job satisfaction.

  • Less time spent searching for application info during board meetings. We have Blackbaud Grantmaking up and running.
  • Great customer service - when you do get someone on the phone. Customer Service seems overloaded at times.
  • Easy for nonprofits to use and apply for funds.

  • It has given us the ability to make grants faster. Example: one donor wanted applications to 50 grantees in a short period of time. Even with other items of work on my agenda, having to research where at least 30% of these grantees were since this was their first time getting a grant and going back and finding other ways to contact these grantees- old and new- when the people were not longer at the organization, it got done by me alone in less than two days.
  • Blackbaud Grantmaking allows us to keep track of everything from how many times a grant has been given to an organization as well as the amount donors have given.
  • Because of Blackbaud Grantmaking I can create a grant and process letters for payments faster than I can get a check for the grantee, thus making it harder on the finance office to keep up with what I am doing.
