Case Study: Stem Cell Network scales grant making and boosts LOIs with Altum ProposalCentral

The Stem Cell Network Moves to ProposalCentral to Scale Grant Making Efforts

The Stem Cell Network (SCN), a Canadian not-for-profit, faced the challenge of scaling its grant management operations after receiving a significant increase in government funding. The organization needed a robust system to handle an expanded mandate in regenerative medicine and streamline its laborious, end-to-end funding process. To meet this need, SCN selected the ProposalCentral platform from the vendor Altum.

By implementing Altum's ProposalCentral, SCN immediately streamlined its application and peer review process. The solution enabled the small team to launch seven concurrent programs, a task that was previously impossible, and resulted in a 60% increase in letters of intent received. The Altum platform provided a uniform experience for applicants and freed up the SCN team to focus on other critical tasks, effectively allowing them to manage a significantly larger award program.
