GrantedGE, a sophisticated grants management system, was developed by Fusion Labs to fill a need within the information
system requirements of non-profit foundations. It was determined that foundations required a software application that
computerized the processes for managing grants through the entire lifecycle, including:
Functionality
Captures the initial grant request either by manual entry or through on-line capture of grant information from the web
Provides methods to log initial grant research including linking grant requests to data in both Financial Edge and Raiser’s Edge
Provides tracking of grant requests through approval, potentially allowing on-line distribution of approval logs and on-line capture of approvals
Transmits grant request data to Financial Edge for the ‘seamless’ processing of grant checks
Transmits grant check data from Financial Edge to the grant system for historical reporting
Allows processing of both standard grants, designated grants, grant commitments, competitive grants and scholarships
Allows full reporting for both standard operational reports, as well as tax and audit reports including IRS 990 reporting
Allows on-line access for online grant requests, online proposal applications, online scholarship applications, and more.
Allows on-line access to specific grants to check on status, especially if grants are tied to deliverables, milestones, budgets, and more.
Technology
Developed using Visual Basic.Net, utilizing a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database environment.
Integrated with products from Blackbaud, Inc.: Financial Edge, Raiser’s Edge and NetCommunity
Integrated with sophisticated reporting services, both Microsoft Reporting Services and Crystal Reports
