Legacy Applicant and Grantee Portal (IGAM) decommissioning

Drew McDonald

The Legacy Applicant and Grantee Portal (IGAM) will be fully replaced by the new Applicant and Grantee Portal in Blackbaud Grantmaking on July 29, 2026. Users must complete migration to avoid losing access to the legacy system and its data.

• Transition deadline and impact: The Legacy Portal will be inaccessible after July 28, 2026, and the new portal will be the only supported system for applications, portal activity, and reporting. Customers who have not transitioned must act to prevent data loss and workflow disruptions.
• Applicant and grantee effects: All legacy links, forms, and accounts will be disabled, preventing applicants and grantees from accessing or submitting legacy forms. Administrators must export legacy data, deactivate active legacy forms, and complete outstanding requirements before the shutdown.
• Resources and benefits: The modern portal offers responsive forms, improved workflows, and easier user management, reducing support requests and improving efficiency. We have extensive resources available, including:
  • Our comprehensive Knowledgebase article with more detailed information and access the FAQ here.
  • You can also find product documentation, Blackbaud University trainings*, Support resources, a transition checklist with Guides and Worksheets, including the Applicant and Grantee Portal Transition Checklist, and more in the Blackbaud Grantmaking On-Demand Library.

*Blackbaud University is offering instructor-led training and eLearning at no cost. All courses in the Grants Manager learning path will be available to all customers through July 31st.

An email was delivered to all Organization and Solution Administrators the morning of April 29, 2026 with more information.
