Case Study: Saskatoon Community Foundation achieves increased capacity, visibility, and reduced paper use with Foundant Technologies (GLM)

Saskatoon Community Foundation - Customer Case Study

Saskatoon Community Foundation faced a labor-intensive, paper-based grants process—manual tracking with spreadsheets, physical file storage, and high risk of human error—as its endowment quadrupled over ten years. To increase capacity, consistency in reviewal, and online access, they implemented Foundant Technologies’ GLM system.

Foundant Technologies’ GLM cut paper consumption by thousands of sheets per year, let reviewers access identical materials from any internet-connected computer, and provided exportable data and reporting for boards and committees. The platform streamlined onsite decision meetings, made applicant histories and follow-up reporting instantly visible, and freed staff time from collating and photocopying so the foundation could more efficiently manage its growing grant workload.
