"Independent and objective advice to help you effortlessly manage grants from application to reporting - ensuring transparency, compliance, and maximised impact for your projects and initiatives."

More trusts and foundations are defining their giving programmes nowadays which requires more impact reporting from grant makers. In addition, applicants expect to be able to submit their applications online.

Grant management system suppliers have evolved their software in the past few years, with some introducing web portals that improve the overall experience for applicants and grantees.

We’ve seen the recent growth in cloud software make implementation quicker, reduce or even remove the up-front costs, and simplify system maintenance.

We can help you select a grant management system that will speed up your processes, raise the quality of your decision-making, and allow you to spend more time on the organisations and individuals awarded the grants.
