ZoomGrants™ is an online Grant Management System (GMS) that has become a powerful and intuitive 'best practice' in grantmaking. We are proud to be known for being the easiest tool to use, and for providing the best customer service in the online grants industry.


Customizable Applications - Grants or Scholarships
You create the proposal applications exactly the way you want, collecting the data you need to make your funding decisions as well as data for reporting back to your stakeholders.

• Pre-Application screening (LOI)
• Proposal Questions
• Program Budget
• Document Attachments
• Post-Funding Reporting
• Activity Log (automatically generated)

Your Review Process
Once proposals are received, your decision team can get started with the review process, even before the deadline arrives. For each proposal, the reviewers can provide input for the following:

• Custom scoring criteria
• Private notes
• Committee discussion
• Voting recommendations
• Allocation recommendations

Powerful Administrative Tools
Designed to be a grant manager's personal assistant, our easy-to-use tools enable staff to maintain full control of the process while managing all other users in an effective and reliable manner. With a special emphasis on decision tools, reporting, and communications, ZoomGrants makes the process faster AND better.

• Workflow dashboards
• Proposal comparison features
• Weighted scoring comparisons
• Custom email notification templates
• Invoice & payment tracking
• Post-funding reporting
• Export data as CSV, XLS or PDF

Unlimited...
Some things just shouldn't have limits placed on them:

• Number of Users
• Proposals Received
• Document Attachments
• Technical Support

User Friendly
Don't take our word for it. Take a look at the Recent Comments from some of our customers (scrolling in the right hand column).

• Automatically saves data
• Intuitive navigation
• Email confirmations

Customer Service
Our highest priority is ensuring that your staff, your reviewers, and your applicants have the best grant application experience ever. While that may not mean that everyone receives funding, it does mean that the process was so smooth that the focus was on the content and not the process itself.

System Requirements
The only thing required for using ZoomGrants™ is a browser with an Internet connection. Any browser. Any operating system. Any time. This means you and your users will have 24x7x365 access to your grant programs from anywhere in the world that you can get Internet access.

Installing ZoomGrants™ requires only one line of HTML to embedded on your website. No software will be installed on your servers.


Security/Availability
There are several security measures in place that ensure the protection and availability of your data, ranging from the user level to the server level, and even the physical location of the servers.

First, all users are required to login with their own userid and password, giving them access only to the information that they are authorized to access. Once logged in, they are automatically logged out after a period of inactivity.

Next, you have the option to encrypt your pages and data transfers using our Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate. While this will encrypt data transfers for you and your users, it would require that the pages on your website also be encrypted.

Finally, the datacenter where everything is housed has significant security and redundancy features in place, including:

• Multiple SAS 70 Type II Certified data centers
• Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network architecture
• Multiple Tier 1 telecom providers and direct Internet connections
• Complete redundancy in supplying data center power to servers and HVAC
• 24x7x365 redundant monitoring from multiple locations
• State-of-the-art network monitoring software
• Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack response
• Secured physical entrances/exits
• Nightly security updates
