Case Study: Egmont Foundation achieves streamlined, time-saving grantmaking and centralized data with SmartSimple Cloud

How The Egmont Foundation Saved Time In Every Aspect Of Their Grantmaking Process

The Egmont Foundation, the corporate philanthropic arm of the Egmont Group, faced an inefficient, error-prone grantmaking process built on physical files and a “giant spreadsheet” that led to lost or incorrectly entered data and lengthy administrative cycles. To modernize and centralize their work, they partnered with SmartSimple Cloud, implementing SmartSimple Cloud for Corporate Social Responsibility to replace paper-based workflows and fragmented spreadsheets.

SmartSimple Cloud delivered a tailored platform that centralized all grant data, automated inquiries, payment processing and reporting, and provided access controls and customized dashboards. As a result, the Egmont Foundation reduced administrative errors, saved significant staff time in application handling, improved financial reporting and auditing accuracy, and gained stronger SDG-focused reporting capabilities — all enabled by SmartSimple Cloud.
