For Erin Forssman, the Director of Grants Management at Houston Endowment, the biggest benefit of GivingData has been the way the system has improved communication and collaboration across teams. Previously, the grants management team was very siloed and now everyone at the foundation can work within a centralized system.
The ease of use and onboarding of grantees onto the system has also saved Erin and her team a lot of time and improved their ability to build strong relationships with their nonprofit partners.
