Case Study: Bozeman Schools Foundation achieves faster, more strategic grantmaking with Foundant Technologies

Bozeman Schools Foundation - Customer Case Study

Bozeman Schools Foundation struggled with a paper-heavy, error-prone grant process: principals emailed applications, applicants printed and mailed forms, and the executive director manually copied packets for a 15-member board and review committees. This labor- and time-intensive workflow made review slow, inconsistent, and diverted staff and volunteer time from strategic work until they implemented Foundant Technologies' grantmaking software (Foundant for Grantmakers / GLM).

Foundant Technologies replaced paper forms with its Grant Lifecycle Management software, streamlining submissions, standardizing evaluation criteria, and enabling archival and graphical analysis of historical data. The result: faster, better-informed decisions, an engaged and accountable review team, elimination of physical review packets for the 15-member group, and less volunteer time spent on administration—allowing the executive director to focus on strategic issues.
