With Traditional Grant Management
Multiple systems are inevitable
Most online grant management solutions begin and end with application collection. Tracking, reviewers and logistics must be handled by hand, via email or on spreadsheets.
Look and feel is random
Many grant solutions force applicants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This confuses users, and lowers the number of submissions.
Information is scattershot
Who’s started an application? Who’s completed one? Which reviewers are finished? Which haven’t started? Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to tell. And if you’re not informed, you can’t make informed decisions.
