The GrantedGE grants management system was designed for non-profit foundations by non-profit foundations. A unique venture in software development, where the foundations drove the requirements gathering and functional design of this sophisticated software package.

 

Currently in use at foundations throughout the U.S., from the smallest to the largest, the GrantedGE system continues to redefine and respond to ever-changing industry requirements.

 

GrantedGE is a grants management system that is truly integrated into a comprehensive solution from Blackbaud, the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. With Financial Edge and Raiser’s Edge, GrantedGE now allows foundations to provide the holistic view of data their stakeholders require.
