Foundation Source Requests®
Simplifies the Process of Accepting and Reviewing Grant Applications
Foundation Source Requests is our complete online service that simplifies the acceptance and review of inbound grant applications. Requests makes it easy to organize, track, review and respond to all requests for funding. It even allows you to accept online grant applications. Foundation Source Requests integrates seamlessly with Foundation Source Online to complete the grantmaking cycle - from charity research through compliance oversight and grant disbursements. This service allows donors, directors or staff to spend their time reviewing the merits of a grant request, rather than the myriad administrative details. Requests is appropriate for all foundations, large or small, well established or new.
Key Features:
- Customized Application Process: We work with you to customize the application process, to meet the needs of your foundation.
- Online Eligibility Quiz and Online Applications: Puts application and review process online. Pre-screen applicants, so that you receive only those applications that meet the foundation's mission and funding criteria. Create a custom online grant application or choose from existing templates. Applicants can submit their requests electronically right to the foundation's public web site. If you don't already have one, we'll create a public web page for your foundation that details your mission and guidelines, and serves as the gateway for accepting online applications via Foundation Source Requests.
- Robust Grant Proposal Management: Review online all data submitted by the applicant, including application, letter of inquiry and any supporting documentation. Request and receive additional information from the applicant at any time during the process. Add notes from meetings and phone conversations. Collaborate with other reviewers.
- Correspondence Management: Create letter and email templates for common activities, including receipt of application, requests for more information from the applicant, notification of granting, notification of declination and more. Automatic and manual triggers for letter and email generation.
- Activity Tracking: Automatically tracks each request from date of receipt through final decision. See the history of each application, including the submission date, ongoing communications and status.
- Customized Reports: Create board reports of grant history, awards, declinations and more. Prepare board dockets for grant decision-making that will occur at offline board meetings.
- Multi-user, Web-based Access: Eliminates software downloads and installations because all services run from our secure, central servers. No "per seat" licenses.
