GRANT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENTLIVE DEMO

GrantCycle

Grantmakers run programs across LOIs, applications, reviewer scoring, committee decisions, payment schedules, and grantee reporting — across spreadsheets, PDFs, and one program officer's inbox.

GrantCycle moves grant programs from LOI through application, review, award, payment schedule, and grantee reporting in one operational workflow.

7 roles · 4 workflow paths · 16 entities · 13 screens

// why this is hardReviewer scores have to roll up, committee decisions need an audit trail, payments depend on grantee reports, and applicants need a real portal.
