Grant Decision Manager provides an easy way for your foundation to standardize how applications are reviewed and evaluated. You can choose application reviewers by many criteria such as subject matter expertise or geography. Since application review takes place online, all reviewers have access to the completed applications as they become available rather than having to evaluate a stack of applications at the same time, at the last minute. You can create multiple evaluation stages with one set of criteria for subject matter experts and another for board members allowing you to evaluate both the tactical and strategic value of a grant request.
