Whether you manage a grant providing charity organisation or whether you have been asked to research the market, you are now reviewing information from one of the fastest growing Grant Management system providers in the market.

 

All grant organisations are different but most have a fair degree of common requirements.   You may start off your exploratory exercise by defining in detail your own requirements and the product and system information here may well help clarify your ideas. Most suppliers will claim they can satisfy all or most of your requirements. However, you need to consider the cost effectiveness of the solution, the longevity, the real potential for coping with the future and other factors.

 

Many organisations draw up a requirements specification with checklists for the purposes of sending out as a “Request for Tender”. We have seen dozens in our time and if you haven’t produced one you may find the Grant Management System Requirements Specification and Request for Quotation  (RFQ)  templates useful guides.

 

As with those implementing a system for the first time, make sure you speak to users of a range of systems. You will probably get impartial, warts and all advice.
