Case Study: Great Falls Public Schools Foundation achieves streamlined, paperless grant reviews and stronger board alignment with Foundant Technologies

Great Falls Public Schools Foundation - Customer Case Study

Great Falls Public Schools Foundation was struggling with a paper-based grants process that required copying 71 applications for 10 reviewers and was time-consuming and error-prone (poor handwriting, manual handling). To address board alignment, expansion, and a more streamlined experience for students and teachers, they turned to Foundant Technologies and its Foundant software (FOUNDANT for Grantmakers / GLM).

Foundant Technologies implemented an online review and management solution that eliminated paper, enabled reviewers to assess applications digitally, and allowed the board to review summary sheets together in the boardroom. The result: a much more efficient process that saved board and staff time, improved reviewer and applicant experience, and supported future expansion—successfully handling 71 applications with 10 reviewers and awarding 21 grants.
