Case Study: The Alaska Community Foundation achieves streamlined competitive grantmaking and improved team efficiency with Foundant Technologies

The Alaska Community Foundation - Customer Case Study

The Alaska Community Foundation, a statewide philanthropy platform established in 1995 that manages 370+ funds and awards $3–4 million annually, struggled with a paper-based grant process that made tracking past grants time-consuming and tied up staff resources. To modernize competitive grantmaking, they turned to Foundant Technologies and adopted Foundant GLM to replace manual workflows and centralize grant information.

Foundant Technologies implemented Foundant GLM to consolidate applications, reports, communications, and media in one system, enable automatic and batch emails, and give administrators remote access to all grant documents. The result was streamlined workflows, improved team efficiency, reduced mailing costs, faster applicant confirmation, and more time for staff to build relationships—outcomes The Alaska Community Foundation credits directly to Foundant Technologies and its intuitive, consistently improving GLM platform.
