Case Study: The Wicklander Foundation achieves streamlined, cost-effective online grant management with Intellistack

How The Wicklander Foundation Uses Formstack and Highrise to Manage Their Online Grant Process

The Wicklander Foundation is a small Chicago-based nonprofit that awards grants to education, religious, and medical research organizations. Lacking an online process, the foundation needed a simple, cost-effective way to collect, review, and collaborate on grant applications without paying for bloated charity-specific systems.

They implemented Formstack for public-facing application collection and integrated it with Highrise so form submissions automatically populate contacts and a consistent first-note summary. The result was an instant, affordable online workflow that centralized applicant data, simplified review and collaboration, and expanded outreach — with only a minor limitation that uploaded documents are linked from Formstack rather than stored directly in Highrise.
