Case Study: American Kidney Fund streamlines grant processing with Orases

American Kidney Fund boosts grant processing efficiency by 125% with Orases

The American Kidney Fund (AKF) faced significant challenges with its outdated and slow internal Grant Management System (GMS), which was unreliable for daily use by support staff. Seeking higher efficiency and effectiveness, AKF partnered with custom software development vendor Orases to modernize the system, move to the cloud, and build a new modular GMS 2.0 to streamline grant requests for 94,000 patients a year.

Orases implemented GMS 2.0, which automated complex processes and simplified the application portal for users. The solution included a sophisticated reporting module and third-party payment integrations. This new system resulted in a 125% increase in efficiency for AKF, allowing their staff to better manage the entire grant lifecycle and process $350 million in grants annually.
