Case Study: Eureka University achieves $7M in grant funding with Instrumentl

Eureka University secures $7M in 2 years with Instrumentl

Eureka University, a private college in Illinois, faced the challenge of building a grants program entirely from scratch. With no existing processes, portfolio, or pipeline, Director of Foundation Relations Monica Coleman needed to find a way to efficiently identify funding opportunities and manage the complex grant application process. She turned to the vendor Instrumentl and its grant management platform to jumpstart this effort.

Using Instrumentl, Monica efficiently identified best-fit funders from a database of over 400,000 opportunities, managed tasks with automated deadline reminders, and streamlined workflows. This solution enabled her to secure an impressive $7 million in new grant funding over two years and achieve a 65% application success rate, far exceeding the industry average. Instrumentl was instrumental in transforming the university's grant strategy and building a powerhouse pipeline.
