I am the Executive Director of the Luther I. Replogle Foundation. I am the only employee of the Foundation, I work part-time, and I report to a Board of six Directors. The Foundation has an endowment of $11.7 million and we distribute about $500,000 in grants to non-profits. The Foundation follows several guidelines to make decisions as to how to allocate the grants. We use Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM) for ALL of the grant management. I am the primary user of the licensed software, however, my Board members use it periodically to rate the grant requests before their Board Meetings. One significant problem that is addresses is that grant requests can be tracked, and paperwork and recordkeeping does not get stalled on my desk in hard copy. Requests enter the system through the Foundation's website on GLM, I review the Letters of Inquiry and Applications on line, I respond to all the LOIs and Applications on line (through email set up through GLM), I can see all the records of past grants, including historic grants pre-dating 2010 when we started using GLM. I do almost all the work of the Replogle Foundation using GLM.

We currently utilize Foundant GLM to manage all of our grantmaking across the foundation. We are a small staff of 5 so I am the only staff who utilizes GLM for grants however we also have GLM for scholarships that is used by our scholarship/program officer.

GLM has simplified and streamlined our grantmaking process across the board. We were looking for a solution to address the mounds of wasted paper we used along with helping both our grantees and reviewers with a more efficient and user-friendly process - Foundant GLM provided that solution.

We primarily use Foundant to track and manage our external organizational granting with the Grants department. We have used it a bit more widely across the organization for other projects: internal grants and collecting/organizing nominations for awards/recognition lists

It's being used across our entire organization as the platform for our grant-making needs. Phases are encompassed in the GLM are: Letters of Interest/Application/Feedback and Evaluation/Selection/Electronic Agreement/Progress Monitoring/Payment/Correspondence. It helps to keep us organized by creating a single spot for our applicant/grantee application/grant agreement interactions.

It is being used for our scholarship program. I create the scholarship applications online and students apply through the portal. Reviewers then also review the applications through the Grant Lifecycle Manager and we use it to merge the winners to another Foundant product - Csuite.

The grants department at United Arts of Central Florida uses Foundant's Grant Lifecycle Manager to manage multiple grant programs funding arts and cultural activities in a four-county region. We are able to design our own grant forms, accept applications, collect contracts and reports, and track payments.

The programs department at the foundation uses Grant Lifecycle Manager to accept all applications, evaluations and award/deny processing for the 11 grant programs and 50 scholarship programs. We needed a greener office. Our grants and scholarship processes that were at one time heavily dependent on reams of paper, are now virtually paperless. We had a cumbersome workflow. Now administrators of the system effortlessly accept applications and assign evaluators from the same system.

The family foundation I work for uses Foundant's Grant Lifecycle Manager product for all aspects of their grantmaking - letters of inquiry, grant applications, grant reports, tracking payments of grants, evaluation of grant applications, as well as producing customized reports. Our entire organization uses it - staff, executive directors, grantees and our board of directors. We have been told by many grantees that this is the best online software they use - is it easy to access, understand and you can save your work as you go, rather than having to submit something in one sitting.

I oversee the charitable arm of Eastern Bank. We use GLM for online processing of all community support. Included is a variety of grant programs as well as Bank sponsored events.

We are using it for the grant applications we receive. We involve community volunteers who review and score the applications. The software is used internally among three program staff members. We plan to use the system for all of our grantee reporting.

We use Grant Lifecycle Manager for as our primary grants management tool. Grant Lifecycle Manager streamlines the application and decision making process, outcome reporting, some accounting, and organizational reporting. The majority of our staff has some interface with the software.

We have used the Grant Lifecycle Manager for over two years now, and have found the technology to be extremely intuitive and user friendly. It has helped us organize our grantmaking process, from streamlining LOIs, and reviewing and organizing grant proposals, to recording and tracking outcomes. Being able to sort, manipulate, and export data has also made it easy to share information with our team in real-time. Most importantly, the Foundant team is always highly responsive and great to work with. We would highly recommend Foundant and their Grant Lifecycle Manager technology to anyone in the philanthropic space who seeks an effective tool for elevating their grantmaking process.
