Even if you are not a massive donor organization that distributes thousands of dollars of funding every month, your organization can still benefit from grant application software. This organizational tool provides a hub for evaluating applications and ranking competitive applicants before eventually choosing recipients.
Here are a few applications for grant software that you may not have thought of before.
Scholarship Management
If you are working for a charity that provides scholarships to a few applicants a year, you probably get a lot of applications. Grant application software can also help manage scholarship applications. Software designed for grants tends to be more comprehensive and includes all-in-one tools for uploading applications and comparing them.
A good organizational system ensures that all potential scholars receive the attention of evaluators and that nobody’s application gets lost.
Managing Government Grants
Federal, state, or local government grants usually come with a lot of extra conditions that applicants need to fulfill. Managing the different application components if you are a department that has been authorized to distribute federal funding can be difficult, which is why you need the right organizational capabilities to do so.
Speakers and Awards
Grant application software isn’t just useful for massive grants or scholarships. You can also use it to manage candidates for smaller awards, including guest speaker or workshop applications. Good software programs allow you to input your own criteria and compare applicants in real time, which is also useful when choosing keynote speakers or award honorees.
