Multi Stage Applications
Has anyone been successful in a multi stage application actually working? I have created both the pre application and the full application and tied them to the program. I submit a pre application and go through my process and then go to publish the full application utilizing the publish form and selecting the full…
System Program Requirement Communications
The system generated GC 61 and GC 62 automatically. I know these can be edited or disabled, but is there a way to edit the date they are sent out? I did not see an option for a send out date. We like to send reminders 2 weeks before the due date: GC61. And then about 1 week past due for GC 62. Anyone?
Does anyone send documents to be signed via Blackbaud?
I would like to use a agreement form created within Blackbaud for grantees to receive, sign and return. What has been your experience with this if your organization does this process? Has anyone used DocuSign? or what service have you used and been happy with?
Grantmaking and Budget API
Hi all! Has anyone successfully integrated an external budget/expenditure report template into Grantmaking? We are looking into creating a web-based budget form for our Grantees to fill out and have that information populate in Grantmaking. If anyone has experience with this, I'd love to hear it! Thanks!

Success Stories!

Scaling Grantmaking with Confidence and Efficiency

Andersen Corporation’s two-person community relations team transformed grantmaking across nine locations using Blackbaud Grantmaking.

By automating application coding, compliance tracking, and reporting, the foundation eliminated thousands of manual data entries, cut acknowledgment letter turnaround time in half, and reduced applicant support requests to nearly zero. With a single source of truth for reporting, audits, and outcomes tracking, the team can connect past performance to future funding decisions—all in one place. Read how they did it here!

Transforming Grantmaking with Automations

Discover how the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) streamlined its entire grantmaking process with Blackbaud Grantmaking.

By replacing manual, spreadsheet-based workflows with automation, CDP increased productivity, simplified global compliance, and gave teams instant access to impact data for donor conversations and decision-making.

With a 360-degree view of grantees and 10 years of historical grant data in one system, CDP can tell stronger stories, improve collaboration, and make more informed funding decisions. Read more here!
