Overall Satisfaction with Grantmaker
I am a freelance grant writer for a non-profit organization. Since I work remotely, I desperately needed a platform to network with my team and to have all necessary info in one central platform. It is currently being used by me and I plan to onboard other members of the team shortly.
It helps me to track grant deadlines, grant awards and keeps me on track with our grant goals.

- Grantmaker uses timelines and visuals effectively for tracking critical events in the grant life cycle.
- I am able to assign important tasks to myself and my team and track progress.
- I love the motivating visuals that clearly indicate whether grant goals are being met.
- I would love to see either email or text notifications added to the platforms to remind of upcoming deadlines and tasks.
- Sometimes the data that is pulled into the visuals is not accurate and is a bit glitchy.
- Adding a real time commenting capability, like Slack, would help the team to stay in contact. This is especially important for remote grantwriters, like me.
- The time it takes me to pull a grant proposal together is less now because many of my talking points are organized within Grantmaker.
- I feel more connected to my team even though I am a remote freelancer.
I searched for a product to organize the steps of grantwriting, but every option I found was too expensive for me to present to my non-profit. I liked the features of Smart Simple, but the price was too high. Grantmaker is free but has the options of an expensive grant software.
