Grants management
What grants management is, and how Grantis works as a grants management system for foundations.
Invitation-only grants
Invitation-only grant programs
You choose who is invited. There is no public apply page. The review queue is the list you asked for.
Controlled applicant access
Most grants management software assumes an open call. Post a listing, wait, then sort. That creates a queue of people who found you, not a queue of people you chose.
Grantis keeps the process invitation-only. Foundations invite or assign specific applicants. There is no public listing and no self-serve apply page. Controlled Applicant Access is the module. This page is what that module is for.
Every application in review is one you asked for. That cuts the sorting work open calls create, and it keeps the program aligned with the organizations you already intend to consider.
How access works
The foundation creates the program first. Outcomes, requirements, and due dates exist before anyone is invited. Then you name who may apply. After award, the same rule holds: people see the program because you put them on it.
A nonprofit looking for a program will not find a public apply page here. The invitation comes from the foundation, not from Grantis.
- Invitation or assignment only
- No public apply page
- No self-serve applicant signup
- The review queue is the list you chose
What sits downstream
Once the invited applications are in, grant review, the decision, grant tracking, compliance, and grant reporting stay on the same record. Invitation-only is not a filter you apply at the end. It is the start of the file.
Each foundation works in its own isolated workspace. Your invite list is not pooled with anyone else’s.
Who this is for
Foundations that already know the field they fund. Family foundations, private foundations, and funders with a defined partner list. If your model is a public listing anyone can find and submit to, Grantis is not built for it.
If you fund nonprofits this way, the nonprofit grant management page covers that audience. This page is the access rule those programs run on.
Questions
Foundations invite or assign specific applicants. There is no public apply page, no open listing, and no self-serve signup. Every application in review is one you asked for.
No. Access to a program comes from the foundation running it. This site is not a place to submit an application.
Invitation-only is how access works. Nonprofit grant management is the audience page for foundations that fund nonprofits that way. They are the same model described from two sides.
No. People see a program because the foundation put them on it. That rule holds after award as well.
