Case Study: Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth achieves faster review turnaround and centralized grant management with Foundant Technologies

Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth - Customer Case Study

Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth struggled to manage a small annual grant program using paper proposals and manual mailings, which made receiving, logging and organizing applications — and getting materials to reviewers — slow and costly. To address this, the foundation selected Foundant Technologies and its GLM (Grant Lifecycle Manager) solution to replace paper workflows and centralize grant processes.

Foundant Technologies implemented a fully online grant system from application through award and management, creating virtual files accessible anywhere and keeping originals in one physical drawer. The switch cut turnaround to get proposals to reviewers from 2–3 days down to about 3 hours, improved on-time and complete submissions, enabled printable reviewer summaries, and supported new uses (conference abstracts and scholarship applications) with centralized, efficient review.
