We issue grants to multiple organizations in a year so this eases the process on both the reviewer and applicant side. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. Online applications and registration are user friendly and very helpful tools. Exceptional grant management software for any size company. Fairly easy base for learning and offers a pretty intuitive platform. > > **Cons**: Report features and customer management tools need to be improved or implemented. > > Overall our organization seems to be fully satisfied with this software to streamline our grant management process for over 5 years now. Training is always available and customer service is amazing. ----- ### "Delaware loves Foundant" — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *21 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy for Applicants, Admins and Reviewers. There’s no better product out there. I highly recommend it. > > **Cons**: I can’t keep up with the new releases\!\! And sometimes the get by me, so more communication about these would be great. > > It’s been a great 6 years since we switched to Foundant. Best investment ever. I think every nonprofit in DE knows about it. ----- ### "It's Ok at best." — 3.0/5 > **Symone** | *15 August 2017* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that applicants have to create accounts in order to apply, and that I can include descriptions for various kinds of applications. > > **Cons**: I don't like that applicants can create duplicate submissions for one application. This makes reviewing applications difficult and creates more work for our staff on the back end. I don't like that once you "close" an application you can't "hide" it also. This makes managing the program on the back end overwhelming. ----- ### "Foundant Grant Management System" — 5.0/5 > **Patricia** | *2 March 2021* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We chose the GMS from Foundant due to the ability to customize our platform to how we use it. We were not locked into a specific format. > > **Cons**: As of now, I do not see any area that would need improvement. We are a small foundation and may not use all the capabilities that the GMS provides, as other larger foundations would. But I know that if there was something that I thought would be a good addition to the produce, Foundant would either let me know it already exists and direct me to it, or put it in their 'suggestion' area. > > Using the GMS for our foundation has been very helpful in keeping our documents organized and available for all to view; the grantees love the ease of the application we have developed within the system and it's streamlined the whole process of evaluations. ----- ### "Foundant Technologies has the best customer service\!" — 5.0/5 > **Peggy** | *18 March 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Foundant software was easy to learn thanks to a great onboarding program with tutorials and a dedicated Client Success Manager. In addition to my CSM, there is a support team that can be reached by phone, email, or chat. My questions have always been answered promptly. Foundant also listens to their clients and makes changes/upgrades based on client needs. Educational webinars are offered on a regular basis. > > **Cons**: Some features are not available with the standard license. > > I have had a very positive experience with Foundant from the beginning. They have excellent customer service that has made the process easy from the beginning and helps me to address any issues that come up as an ongoing user. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/72823/grantmakers?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/72823/grantmakers) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
