Case Study: Alternatives Research & Development Foundation streamlines grant management with Altum's ProposalCentral

ProposalCentral Helps Grant Programs of All Sizes Thrive

The Alternatives Research & Development Foundation (ARDF), a small grant program, previously managed its application review process manually through email, a system that was challenging to track and inefficient. When the number of applications they received suddenly and dramatically increased, ARDF needed a streamlined solution to handle the complex workflow and increased volume, turning to the vendor Altum and its ProposalCentral platform.

By implementing Altum's ProposalCentral, ARDF centralized its entire grant management process. The platform’s intuitive tools for managing committee rosters and reporting allowed the team to efficiently handle the unexpected surge in applications without any disruption. The solution was praised for its ideal balance of functionality and simplicity, and the exceptional support received ensured the team maximized the platform's features. As a result, the process became smooth from start to finish, leading ARDF to recommend ProposalCentral to others as an efficient and scalable system.
