Consumers Guide to Grants Management Systems for Public and Private Foundations

Now more than ever, grants management systems play crucial roles in foundations’ technology ecosystems, and the support they provide to the ever-evolving roles of grants management professionals continues to grow. Choosing a new system and feeling confident with the decision can be a challenging process, and that’s why four powerhouse organizations, Grantbook, PEAK Grantmaking, Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG), and Tech Impact, collaborated to release the sixth edition of the popular Consumers Guide to Grants Management Systems for Public and Private Foundations.  

This comprehensive guide works to identify, compare, and evaluate the most requested and prioritized features across 14 popular GMS platforms and systems. Along with a full comparison chart detailing important features of each system, you will also find reviews from surveyed grant management professionals, recommendations for specific priorities including low-cost systems and out-of-the-box functionality, and all the thorough pricing research, market trends, and analysis these reports are known for.

We invite you to explore the 2024 Consumers Guide to Grants Management Systems through its companion digital site, where users can filter features and systems in our interactive comparison chart, dive deeper into specific system reviews and analysis, and easily explore all the trends and research from the report.  

We hope you find this updated and improved guide helpful on your journey of selecting a new GMS so that we can better support our grantees and communities in the future.
