Case Study: North Carolina Bar Foundation achieves streamlined grant management and clearer impact reporting with Submittable

North Carolina Bar Foundation - Customer Case Study

The North Carolina Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the North Carolina Bar Association that manages an Endowment awarding 30–40 grants from 40–60 annual applications, faced inaccurate, fragmented records spread across paper, spreadsheets and email that hindered reporting and donor visibility. Seeking an easy-to-use, secure grants management solution that wouldn’t demand heavy staff time, the Foundation turned to Submittable and its grants-management platform to centralize applications and reviewer workflows.

Submittable implemented an online application and reviewer portal with automation and secure cloud hosting, replacing cumbersome hard-copy and attachment-based reviews. The result was immediate reviewer satisfaction, streamlined review cycles, clearer tracking of where Endowment funds are going for better donor reporting, and a foundation-wide ability to collect, review, and harness information more efficiently—with plans to expand Submittable’s use to additional award programs.
