Case Study: Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation achieves paperless, consistent, and efficient grantmaking with Foundant Technologies' Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM)

Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation - Customer Case Study

The Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation struggled with a paper‑intensive fellowship process: staff manually entered applicant data into an MS‑Access database, generated correspondence by hand, and shipped large boxes of applications to reviewers. To address this, the foundation turned to Foundant Technologies and its Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM) to modernize their workflow.

Foundant Technologies implemented GLM to move key communications and application handling online, eliminate handling huge volumes of paper, and provide secure reviewer logins and a PDF‑print feature. The result was a more consistent, streamlined grant cycle with easier reviewer assignment, improved reviewer relationships, rave evaluator feedback, and markedly reduced paper handling.
