Best grant management software
Most roundups assume an open call. What “best” means if you invite applicants and need the year on one record.
Alternative
A GivingData alternative for invitation-only programs.
A GivingData alternative for foundations that invite who applies and want the year on one record. That is a change of model, not of logo.
The stall
You look for an alternative when the model does not fit.
A swap is not a ranking. It is a decision that the current system is doing a different job than the one you run.
GivingData is grants management software. A GivingData alternative only matters if your foundation’s year does not match what you bought: an open queue you did not ask for, scores that never make the file, tracking opened after the money went out, a board packet rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
Grantis is not a clone. It is grantmaker software for foundations that own the program and invite or assign applicants. There is no public apply page. Review, grant tracking, compliance, and reporting stay on the same grant.
The hold
What has to be true before you switch.
You create the program first. You choose who is invited. A reviewer score is still on the record when the report is due. A due date set at setup is the date closeout watches. Each foundation works in its own isolated workspace. That is the grants management system, not a side tracker.
If that is how you already work, or how you need to work, Grantis is the alternative to evaluate. Features maps the nine parts. Best grant management software is the comparison frame. Pricing is quoted — not a public table.
- Invitation or assignment only
- One record from program through closeout
- Review, tracking, and reports on the grant
- Quoted setup, no self-serve signup
Who it is for
Stay where you are if the current file already holds.
If GivingData matches your programs and your invite list, do not move for a landing page. If you run an open call, Grantis is the wrong alternative. If the year is still in three places and you invite who applies, contact us. A paragraph about the cycle is enough to start. Other named swaps: a Blackbaud Grantmaking alternative and a Foundant alternative.
Questions
Before you write us
No. Grantis is grant management software from X Enterprises, LLC. This page is for foundations that are already looking at a GivingData alternative, not a partner page and not a login.

Foundant alternative
Not a login. For foundations that invite applicants and want the year on one record.
Invitation-only grants
