So you’ve got some great applications coming through the door and now need a process for reviewing applications with your board to make your final funding decisions.

When you’re buried in grant proposals, a strategic plan will help you stay focused on the mission and values that drive your grantmaking in the first place.

When executed well, this plan will help your team navigate a sea of proposals of varying quality while pushing your grantees to deliver on the results they’ve committed to in their proposals.

How to Streamline Your Grant Management Process

• Build a strong foundation with proven processes and technology.
• Make the job of grants administration way more efficient. This technology should give you back some time, cut down on paperwork, and improve the accuracy of your team’s work.

Think about the process you’re looking to run here, at the highest level:

• A grant seeker submits a request
• The request is reviewed
• The request is accepted (or rejected)
• The grant manager monitors progress
• Grant reporting occurs during and at the end of the grant cycle

This is where grant review software comes into play. Grants management software makes it super easy for committees, boards, and stakeholders to review and respond to applications.
