Blackbaud Grantmaking Review
Used by all staff. It is a tool that helps us manage our grantmaking activities.
- Grant application information
- Grant review and approval process
- Grant monitoring
- Grant payments
- Track outcomes
- Document manager
- Contact management
- Document manager needs folder structure
- You must check out a document to update and then re-post the document to the document manager when completed. Often you mail merge a document using Blackbaud Grantmaking, but to tweak it you need to save it elsewhere and the upload to the document manager.
- There is no notification given if 2 users are updating the same record except when the 2nd user tries to save their work.
- Portal for grant seekers could be more user friendly.
- Connecting the Blackbaud Grantmaking email to Outlook would help. Blackbaud has made improvements in this area. If I send an email from Blackbaud Grantmaking it does not show up in my Outlook sent messages.
- 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.
- Gifts Classic
Blackbaud Grantmaking is much easier to use and manage than Gifts Classic or Gifts Alta.

Long standing established grant management solution expected to continue in this space for a long time. Blackbaud Grantmaking understands the needs of their customers. Lots of peers to network/discuss usage of system.
Would not change.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
Changed process by making it much easier for Program Directors to document reviews and created dashboards to make it easier for them to use.
- No issues encountered during implementation.
No
Yes
One bug has not been corrected yet. The grant amount field does not have commas when pushing a progress report form to grantee in the online portal. .
Blackbaud went beyond the scope of services when we transferred from Gifts Alta to Blackbaud Grantmaking. The Team assigned to us was amazing.
- Dashboards are very easy to use.
- Grant payments/reporting
- Approval process
- Online applications and requirements can be cumbersome. Some of this may be due to frequency of designing new forms.
- Different login for templates
- Document manager can become cumbersome. Adding folders to document manager would be useful.
Yes, but I don't use it
