The Knight Foundation Revolutionizes Grants With Grants Management Solution

Knight Foundation: Poised to Revolutionize Grantmaking

Founded in 1940 as an educational fund in Akron, Ohio, now headquartered in Miami, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation supports funding for people and programs that promote quality journalism, advance media innovation, engage communities, and foster the arts.

Looking for an Interactive Grantmaking Solution

Although already using MicroEdge GIFTS, the Knight Foundation needed a solution that would allow them to have greater transparency and be more interactive with their grantees. Because their current process was long and had very little transparency, they needed to find a solution that would simplify their grantmaking process so that they could focus on what mattered most.

The Right Questions to Ask

• Would a faster, more transparent grantmaking process help you have greater impact?
• Is your current grants management solution keeping you from reaching your potential?
• Could a streamlined workflow, the ability to collaborate on the road and remotely, and greater insights from your data help you do more?
• If you found yourself saying “yes” to any of those questions, contact us now to get started!
