Working with an Outdated Grants Management Process 

The Foundation, which operated with a small staff of 5, was finding it difficult to work within their MicroEdge GIFTS system. Their process was outdated with an overabundance of paper proposals and other documents, and a program that wasn’t maintained and wasn’t working the way that they needed it to. There was no central location for all of the work that needed to be done, and no easy way to find the information or resources that they needed. 

The Right Questions to Ask

  • Does your staff spend too much time administering the grants management process?
  • Is your current grants management solution meeting your needs?
  • Could a streamlined workflow, the ability to collaborate even on the road, and greater transparency help you do more?
  • If you found yourself saying “yes” to any of those questions, contact us now to get started!
