New Features in Blackbaud Grantmaking Streamline Grant Applications for Both Funders and Applicants
Blackbaud is Helping Grantmakers and Applicants Save Time with a New Applicant Portal and an Updated, AI-Powered Form Builder
"Blackbaud Grantmaking helps grantmakers efficiently manage their entire grant cycle like no other company in social impact," said
Applicant-Centric Portal
The new portal is applicant-centric, allowing applicants to view and edit all their applications across funders that use Blackbaud Grantmaking through the Blackbaud ID central identity management system. Users can access the applicant portal with the same set of login credentials they use for other Blackbaud products, which reduces password fatigue for applicants and administrative burdens for funders.
The submission process has been streamlined for applicants through features that enhance the communication between funders and applicants or grantees and make it easier to collaborate with other stakeholders on applications.
The portal has also undergone third party testing for accessibility standards against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1AA standard, making the portal more accessible to a wider range of people.
Dynamic Form Builder Powered by AI
The form builder has been updated to create visually appealing and modern looking application forms. The release of conditional logic means funders will need to create and manage fewer forms across their various grant programs, which reduces time spent on administrative upkeep for funders.
Using the power of AI, clients will be able to translate application forms to over 25 languages, including French, Spanish, Welsh and more, which will help reduce barriers to funding and increase accessibility. This update reflects Blackbaud's ongoing commitment to being "global by design."
These capabilities are now available for existing Blackbaud Grantmaking customers as part of their subscription. Learn more about Blackbaud Grantmaking here or request a demo to explore the solution here.
