Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Grantmaking (formerly GIFTS Online)
The foundation uses Blackbaud Grantmaking for all grant applications and discretionary/matching requests.
- Organizes past grant requests and awards
- Easy to make updates to applications
- Love the dashboard feature so I can see all of the information that helps me to do my job!
- The option to make detailed edits to applications.
- Organizations on the dashboard need to stay in alpha order. I get tired of clicking on that button!
- Maybe bigger servers? GO gets VERY slow in the afternoons. It's my understanding that it's not my network but it is the 'cloud.'
- 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.
There are a few other foundations in town that use Blackbaud Grantmaking. We work together on best practices.
