### Grant Management

For Grantmaking Organizations

We streamline the grantmaking process, so you can strengthen grantee relationships and better support multiple stakeholders – including real-time engagement with reviewers and board members. From eliminating manual grant tracking and cumbersome spreadsheets to streamlining complex grant workflows, we improve the flow of your processes so you can focus on supporting grantees.

### Fund Accounting

For Funders

We help you seamlessly manage financial activities in the same system with your other organizational needs. Fund accounting, donor accounts, ticketing, and other revenue tracked and managed alongside other activities means less silos, better communication, and more opportunities to collaborate.

### Scholarship Management

For Scholarship Providers

We reduce the manual tasks and time to manage scholarship programs so you can shrink your workload and focus on successfully managing scholarships, bursaries, or grants to individuals with efficient workflows.

### Fundraising & Event Management

For Grantmaking Organizations

We amplify your fundraising and events by streamlining the process to remove barriers like staff turnover, communication gaps, or reporting frustrations. From live event ticketing sales and giving campaigns to tracking and reporting, relax knowing it’s all happening in one place with accurate data, so you can focus on the results.

### Donor Management

For Funders

We help you understand your donors at scale by tracking important moments, communications, and details. With clear records of donor interactions, you can provide a seamless experience and transparency which builds trust and long-term commitment. Personalize communications, identify trends, and rally support for your mission through a seamless tool built with your impact and growth in mind.

## Become a happy client!

The transition to Foundant solutions was truly an organizational endeavor. In adopting this integrated system, we learned to work as one team across all departments, with Foundant as our partner every step of the way. In Foundant we have found a shared commitment in optimizing the impact we have in our community.”

**Jay Williams**

Hartford Foundation for Public Giving

I can’t say how much I love the Foundant products. They have revolutionized our foundation processes & brought us into this century. But the icing on the cake is that every Foundant employee I have worked with is truly a super nice person who knows their stuff. It is a blessing to work with them.”

**Evanna Hardin**

Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation

Coming from a ‘quaint’ operation working on QuickBooks, Foundant has truly revolutionized all aspects of our operations. We are a better and stronger organization thanks our Foundant partnership.”

**Dan Peters**

Hastings Community Foundation

We continue to learn how to do our jobs better through Foundant, which is the best part of this investment. It’s unique to think you could be a better fundraiser because you have a better tool at your fingertips. We can take technology for granted, but for the first time in my career, a software solution has not only helped me do my job better, it also has not held me back from doing a better job. It’s a game changer. That’s what Foundant has been able to do for us and for me personally. It feels like a big win for the foundation’s future.”
