Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Grantmaking (formerly GIFTS Online)

We are a Family Foundation and we use Blackbaud Grantmaking as a means to maintain and track organizations, applications for grants, payments. All of us use it. Eliminated many Excel spreadsheets.
  • One thing I really like about Blackbaud Grantmaking is that I can access the information from anywhere - I don't have to be at my desk. I can access it from home without bringing my laptop home. My boss and colleagues can also access it whenever they want.
  • The Customizer module allows you to personalize/create specific fields that are unique to you and your organization so that you can collect and use the information that benefits you.
  • I wish that I could see more of the information at one time. I spend a lot of time scrolling across the page and having to rearrange my columns depending on what I need to see at the particular time.
  • You are always having to set up Views in order to prevent rearranging columns all the time.
  • I would like to be able to rearrange the Command Ribbon so that I can move the commands I use a lot to the front of the ribbon so I don't have to scroll so much. Too much clicking around.
  • I don't know about the ROI.
We really were so pleased with Blackbaud Grantmaking Classic that we really didn't look at anything else.
Can handle lots of data and has a lot of potential as to manipulation but also sometimes, it is kind of clunky to get to the final desired look.
